MONTECITO, Calif. -- Andy Granatelli, the former CEO of STP motor oil company who made a mark on motorsports as a car owner, innovator and entrepreneur, has died. He was 90. Granatellis son, Vince, said his father died Sunday of congestive heart failure at a Santa Barbara hospital. Granatelli is a member of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame. "Everything he did was bigger than life," Vince Granatelli said. Andy Granatellis cars nearly won the Indianapolis 500 in 1967 and 68 with turbine engines. He broke through in 1969 with Mario Andretti driving his winning car with a conventional engine. Granatelli kissing Andretti on the cheek in Victory Lane is one of the most famous images in Indy history. In 1973, Gordon Johncock gave Granatelli another Indy 500 victory. "The thing that gave him the most gratification in his life was what he did at the Indianapolis 500," Vince Granatelli said. Andy Granatelli was born in Dallas. He gained fame during World War II as a promoter of racing events, such as the Hurricane Racing Association. He is survived by wife Dolly and sons Vince and Anthony.

Raonic was beaten 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (6), 7-5, 6-4 by 10th-seeded Nishikori on Monday in a four hour 19 minute struggle that tied a record as the latest-to-finish match in U.S. Open history. "You learn from losses like that, you rebound and thats what makes a champion," said Martin Laurendeau, the captain of Canadas Davis Cup team. "It was the kind of match I was expecting. Four or five sets very close. I didnt expect it to finish that late but we knew it would be a long night in New York. In a way thats a bit of what makes New York New York. . . The crowd stays up late." On Tuesday, Laurendeau named Raonic, Frank Dancevic, Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil to the team that will battle Columbia beginning Sept. 12 in Halifax.

"The conditions will be significantly different in Halifax," said Laurendeau. "Well be playing indoors under some nice air conditioning, which is going to welcomed."
