Indy 500 thread

Didn't see another thread - sorry if it's a dupe.


Marco Andretti is going OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tdtnvols2004]

Well, Its under"The month of May" thread Dozer started at the beginning of the month, but its dead.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Anyone think they can get this race in?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

They say that the rain is 20 minutes away. I hope it can hold of for a little bit longer.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Geez, why can't they stop wrecking so we can get some racing done. Less than 10 minutes away.

 

[volsgal03]

I would love to see Danica Patrick win this race.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Marco was so close last year, I hope he can win.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

There is no way they're going to get this thing to start back.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Well there may be a chance for them to get this in.

Luckily it's not a big rain system. Definitely enough to completely drench the track, but I think they can eventually get it going again.

This is another way the brilliant later start time hurts.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I was looking at the radar and after this system we should be rain free, but this will take a while before they can get the track dry.

Hopefully it keeps going East... it should be out of there in 1 or 1.5 hours, then a couple hours to dry it, then an hour or so at the most of daylight to finish it.

Having said that, I'd say they're done, heh.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

It's a longshot for them to finish, but I hope they can. It looks like if they do finish this it will overlap with the Coke 600 though.

 

[tidwell]

Well that rain is out of the area... unfortunately there is more on the way.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

It looks like they are going to get it restarted. Of course the 600 will start shortly. Decision time.

 

[tidwell]

Luckily you can count on a 45 or so minute pre race show from NASCAR.

They could get going at the same time, oye.

 

[volsgal03]

60 laps to go.

 

[volsgal03]

not that you guys care, I've come to the consensus that Indy guys are hotter than Nascar guys.

 

[milohimself]

Always kind of a bummer to see the checkered flags fly with the pace car out. But it was a rough day at the track.

 

[volinbham]

I feel bad for TK but seeing a rain-soaked Ashley Judd kinda made up for it

 

[tidwell]

I missed the end since it over lapped with the 600, oh well.

Good for Franchitti.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Great win for Dario, but I felt kinda bad for TK at the same time.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

TK had the car for sure.

I enjoyed watching the Indy 500 more than the Nascar race. hmy:

I was hoping that Danica would win, but I was very happy to see Dario win. I was happy for Ashley too.

I hated that Jim Nabors wasn't able to sing. :no:

Once you know the players and some of the history, Indy lives up to the billing. I wish they'd get a better announcing crew though.
