Maybe one day they'll come to the other Birmingham... It's not like we don't have a track layout used in the late 80s...


Oh yes, I'm sure we'd all love the opportunity to hear me moan about the new car in person instead of online! :p


We've tuned you out already..... ;)

Eh, it's hard to say. Looks can be deceiving, and it's a bit subjective. I get what you're saying, but Power's fast lap yesterday was actually a bit quicker than the pole speed from last year, but still well short of the 2010 track record.

BHA had a tweetup and he pretty much said that driving a stock car compared to an indycar wasn't as bad physically.

Gonna be fun watching Power and Graham come through the field. Newgarden and Barrichello, too.

I'll be rooting for Helio this year. I'd like to see him finally win the championship. :thumbsup:

Certainly a much more mixed up grid than usual, should be an interesting race

I thought when they initially released they were using the Dallara they said they were going to give drivers a certain amount of push-to-pass's, and that each time they pressed the button it would give the car 150 (or some other big number like that) more horsepower.

They did say that, but apparently at this point it would just be "push-to-explode".
Did anyone know about this overboost penalty thing?

My dad and I just spent about 5-10 minutes in the Ganassi trailer talking to Dario. This trip has been amazing.
