Not getting to watch the race (again) this weekend, but already expect Penske or Ganassi to win tonight.

Really my hope is for a none-Penske or Ganassi driver to win (my exception is Helio because I love him) and Matos to actually finish the race.

maybe the Captain will pay me never to pick them again.

George, can you slip me any lottery numbers off of that crystal ball you use? Good call.

I am going with RHR. By the way, this is the track that Sarah Fisher ran her very first laps in the lead. That was also late in the race and, IIRC, she qualified on the pole position the next race (you have to be careful on how you phrase that).

If Marco is running in the top 5 late in the race, I might just bet on him.

If the race is anything like Chicago or Texas, he’ll be the only driver with a chance to inch ahead of the leader at the start/finish using the high line.

I agree. Marco is knocking on the door, and tomorrow night could be his night. This is his last best best shot for a fourth team to win one as well.

Crown Prince Marco has been fast here in past years, and it would not surprise me to see him in the mix in the last lap.

Firstly George, congrats on your son hitting 21 – hope you and the family have a great day to mark the occasion.
As for the race, I’m not too sure Carpenter will quite repeat the sensational drive he did last year, but I do think he’ll in the top 5. I’m keen to see how KV do here, but I do think Viso will scrape a top 10, just ahead of Sato. Moraes will crash and probably take out Tracy in the process. I can see three of the Andretti-Autosport cars and Wheldon filling out the rest of the top ten (in no particular order though).

For my top 5 after race (starting at a late, late 2am in the UK…) I’m thinking:
1) Franchitti
2) Power
3) Dixon or Briscoe
4) Castroneves
5) Carpenter
