This Saturday and Sunday. Going to be a little different with the fresh paved oval this year. Hope to see Memo Rojas and Scott Pruett pick up where they left off last year. Also kind of curious as to how the Camaro will work out. Last year wasn't that good, but it was still a completely new car.

Race is pretty good so far. Bus Stop has caught a few people off guard.

Yeah pretty good racing! Rojas-Pruet is really having a great run! Juan Pablo was tearing up the track [and a few other cars] as well.
Thanks for the text updates Keith, plus it was fun chatting with you during the race as well.
1/2 hour to go and then back again at 9 tomorrow! Woo Hoo!! Real racing is back!!!

Its back. WTH? 3 hours of Caution due to fog? Why bother racing? 60 MPH around that track would be no fun at all not to mention brutal inside those cars. Without speed and downforce the suspension is very stiff, read too stiff. Need speed to feel good.
Oh, yeah, JPM was tearing it up. And then wouldnt even talk to the reporters. Boo Hoo. Put your big girl panties on and fess up to the fact that u were too aggressive and u screwed up.
It would be kinda sweet to be in the infield with an RV or tent. Grilling breakfast and watching the race.

Yeah I saw that! Fog, they have lights and wipers don't they?? LOL!
Good to see Rojas-Pruet back in front again. Gnassi Racing is going to be another hard team to beat this year.
Dude, if we werein that infield, we'd never get any sleep that night or the next few days! LMAO!! MMMM, Breakfast............................................

Pruet Does it!!!!! With a caution at the 9 minute mark, and clean up till the 1 minute mark, it was a mad dash around the track! And Team mate Grahm Rahall gets his win 30 years after his father did. Memo Rojasand Joey Hand just domintated during thier Stints!
Juan Pablo Montoya, Scott Dixon, Jamie McMurray and Dario Franchitti came in second and they really rocked!!!
Both teams from Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates running BMW Riley chassis' came from behind.
That was an awesome race! Somehow I don't think the rest of the races I watch this year will be anything close to this!

Very good race. JPM was way too aggressive, though. But, overall. Oh yeah. 2 thumbs up. I would love to see an ALMS or GrandAm race here at Indy. Since there is housing it would be limited to 6 hours or whatever, but it would be great!
