Wow that was quite a hit.

Glad to see he's okay. You can't save an IndyCar when they step out like that. This ain't NASCAR son. But at least he got that out of the way.

I didn't even know there was practice today.

Lol. I know. I thought after qualifying, cars weren't on the track again until Carb Day.

Kurt said he crashed because he got complacent.

Despite watching these every year you can never get used to those crashing speeds :8:

That bobble looked a lot like Gordon Smiley's fatal crash, that attempt to save the car may have prevented him from going head on into it.

Honda putting Media Day to good use.

Mazda should ditch it's terrible LMP effort and go Indy.
Subaru should go Indy because GRC and Rally America isn't enough.
And screw it, FIAT should for the marketing potential for the '500'. Heck, Dodge is the Chrysler performance brand now...without NASCAR they are in the NHRA and that's it. Why not go to Indy?

Awesome tribute from Tony's win last year

Funny really. In NASCAR I couldn't stand Kurt Busch. But because it's unusual to see the cross over of NASCAR drivers to Indy now days, I want him to do well.

JPM for the win however.

When (german time) will the freedom 100 start today?

Juihi · PostPosted: Fri May 23, 2014 12:26 pm

I hope Brabham wins the Freedom 100!, would be a great tribute to his grandfather

JPM or Hinch, I would completely flip my lid if they won. I'm definitely looking forward to a great 500, but with the last couple years and the DW12, the finish has been a bit of a letdown. I'm really hoping for a finish under green this year.

The last couple of years and finishes have been a let down? Huh?

Finishes under caution, I presume.

Both races were awesome and the build up to the finishes were epic. Just because there wasn't a race to the line a la 2006 doesn't mean the races and finishes were a let. Well that's my opinion anyway.

I didn't think it was a letdown. These things happen in racing.
