Might as well lump all of the IRL discussion into one thread as well.

Kanaan on the pole for tomorrow's race in Kansas coming off his win in Japan. Rest of the grid: IndyCar® Series

Noticed another female in the race... Milka Duno?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Kanaan and Wheldon are the two drivers to watch out for today.

 

[tidwell]

I'm thinking it's Hornish time.

Noticed another female in the race... Milka Duno?

She's been running in the Rolex series for the past couple of years and I guess she decided to give Indy cars a try. Very sexy woman!

 

[tidwell]

I see.

Meanwhile, back in a real racing series, looks like Wheldon has been dominating today. Great call by me on Hornish, he's been out of the top 10 every time I turned it over there.

 

[tidwell]

Hornish has worked his way back up to 6th with 50ish laps to go.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Yeah, Wheldon is dominating. I think the only person who can beat him today is himself.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

He has no chance to get to Wheldon.

 

[tidwell]

Yeah, only 5 guys on the lead lap.

Dixon leading follow that round of pit stops...

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Drive through penalty for Dixon.

 

[tidwell]

What for?

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Something about turning down onto pit road coming off of turn 4. They are supposed to drop down out of the groove to enter pit road.

 

[tidwell]

Bummer for him.

What happened to Kanaan I wonder. He was running 2nd, then I went back later and he was laps down.

 

[tidwell]

Scott Sharp crashed with two laps to go. Race over. Scott Goodyear took a shot at those "other series'" who run a green-white-checkered in this instances. :lol:

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

TK and Danica ran into each other in the pits.

Lotta momentum for Ganassi going into Indy month.

[doozer]

i hate Ganassi, at least in the IRL.

i'm so ready for the month of May to get going.

 

[tidwell]

Meanwhile, with the circus that is Indy now in the past, there is a nice championship battle shaping up...

1. Scott Dixon
2. Dan Wheldon -1
3. Dario Franchitti -3
4. Helio Castroneves -13
5. Sam Hornish Jr. -33
5. Tony Kanaan -33

2007 Overview :: IndyCar® Series

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Wheldon will be tough to beat.

 

[volinbham]

If the IRL could get another solid team they would be set.

Ganassi, Penske, AGR are all top notch (with legit drivers). Rahal-Letterman is close. After that, Panther and on down are a bit weak.

All in all though, I think if more people watched a few IRL races, they'd like what they see.

The passing alone is worth watching a race - things happen very quickly.

Helio on the pole in Milwaukee...

[TennesseeFan07]

Wow, Danica was the slowest of the drivers to take time.
