Oriol and his young teammate finished well!

I really hope I’m wrong.

I was concerned about Simona’s enthusiasm for ovals after her Indy crash. After today, I seriously doubt that she’ll be back in an Indycar next year. I hope I’m wrong, but I think today might just be the last straw.

Will be rooting for Rahal but I’m expecting Dixon to win, maybe Briscoe. I’m putting Kanaan ahead of the other red cars on my expect to win list.

It’s an ABC race, so cross your fingers for casual fan-appealing racing and watchable coverage.

Driver’s track + hot streak + no more monkey + Penske car = Will Power winning. Or I could be wrong…

I’m super excited to see this race again. The last time I went, in 2009, the race produced a late pass for the lead in the middle of an era of particularly boring racing and pronounced inequality. With a more equal field, I’m looking forward to the event. Even if a Penske car ends up winning.

I also hope the event is a success. I’ve heard little about it locally, the online seating charts show a LOT of empty seats remaining and the organizers had me concerned when I purchased my ticket last night. I’ll try to be optimistic, though, and am looking forward to Sunday.

I have a hard time believing Dario or Dixon won’t win this. At least Briscoe showed some life in Texas. Helio is still MIA. Time to hang it up?

Milwaukee is undoubtedly my favorite oval race. I love the Speedway and all that goes with it, but the Mile is just the best racing that this series has. Loudon could challenge that this year…boils down to the 1-mile tracks where, to an extent, the driver can carry the car (nod to George about the debacle that happened with PT in AJ’s car…there’s still an engineer making decisions trying to get it right) rather than just flat-foot it around the 1.5′s. Too bad Phoenix got in bed with NASCAR, and has now been forever altered (to its detriment). Ah, well…
I’m hoping Oriol has a great run here, along with JR Hildebrand and Ed C. Tag has run here a number of times with CART/ChampCar, may do well too. TK is not to be underestimated, ever. Then of course there’s the dreaded red cars along with the Captain’s bunch. I’m expecting all of these to be competitive…this is shaping up to be a good one. Really good.
