    Two observations:


    1) There isn't much passing.

    2) The longer the green flag stays out, the faster the fast guys go, and the slower the backmarkers go.

    Wow. The commentary is great. Can't decide my favorite:


    "There is a beer can high in Turn 4."


    or


    "Will Power is making up ground on Danica Patrick."

    if you go online during a race you can open up a real time tracker that shows a ton of useless info (g forces, speed, etc...)

    Working for AJ Foyt is brutal - he's a tough son of a bitch! After the fire, he was on the radio saying "VITOR! Get out on the track, you pussy! What are you waiting for?" And then after the crash, AJ was hollering "Walk it off, you LOSER!! Come on! You are holding up the race!! Just because tomorrow is Memorial Day doesn't mean that you get the day off!!"

    @goatrope: That;s probably not too far off from the truth (at least the bit after the fire).


    If there's any good that has come out of this, it's that Paul Tracy will be driving the 14 car at Milwaukee this weekend.

    Using a bucket brigade to put him out is possibly the worst part of the fire. It looks like they grabbed some buckets that had been collecting rainwater from the leaky roof and threw it on him. Nobody's heard of fire extinguishers at Indy? I know that they use water for the ethanol fires and all that, but surely in pressurized form they'd work better and not soak the track and car.


    Something I'm not getting?

    Tony Kanaan, Vitor Meira, Raphael Matos, Nelson Piquet Jr. Should I be worried of a Brazilian extermination program? Or should I roll the Barrichello-Castroneves way? Maybe not Barrichello, I'm not Brawn's #2 pilot...

    The Guardians are just making sure Victor doesn't win if he does, the Illuminati will rule over the world. It's an Illuminati plot to make all racing unified. No F1 and Nascar, just 1 racing series.
