Yeah, they really need to get their heads out of their arses and cancel the crap tracks and go to the decent tracks. Tracks like Road America and Portland. I think that they should be adventurous and have a race using the Daytona road course

the speculation is heating up over the season closer in fontana.
i think Power will pull a Piquet jr. and we'll have another crashgate on our hands.(except it won't benefit Alonso this time)

Or perhaps Penske will get Briscoe to ram into Hunter-Reay?

That's what I was thinking, oddly enough...

After qualifying and final practice, it looks like a real tossup between Power and RHR, with the scale tipped slighty in Powers favor. 500 miles is a long race to run, and it's certainly going to be a show from flag to flag.

Caution's out. Power lost it and backed it into a wall
EDIT: Yes, this is the first time all year I've been able to catch and IndyCar race and I must say it's not as good as the CART 500 milers used to be.
Hunter-Reay was lucky not to get collected in all that.

Hunter-Reay up to 9th and, more importantly, Sato's just passed Barrichello for 3rd

Hunter-Rhey almost punted himself and Sato out at the restart. These guys want to get to the front.

Well, it wasn't helped by the fact Marco checked up to stop himself drilling the back of Barrichello.

And his night might go from bad to worse if Penske manage to finish piecing Power's car back together.
Caution's out again. Barrichello's blown an engine.

As impressive as Penske's effort to turn Power's car around was, DJR and T8 did a better job in Sydney a few years ago after the massive pileup late in the race.

50 to go and it looks like the battle for the win's between the leading quintet of Carpenter, Tags, Sato and the two Ganassi guys. This ain't over yet.

Man, they're fighting for sheepstations in the top three and if those three hit each other, it puts Hunter-Reay in the championship lead. This is incredible.

Beaux puts the fate of the race in the driver's hands, Red Flag. There will probably be 7 or 6 laps to go when they restart.

So Power pulled a Carlos Ruetteman huh? Figures. I guess Mark Webber will be a champion before Will Power would ever get it.
