Peak Indy 300 - Chicagoland

[DanicaFan]

The last race of the season already (ones that count anyways). It makes me sad really. This year was a good one and it went fast. Danica got her first win and will finish 6th in points.

This will be a good race. Im going to this one. I am heading out today to Chicagoland Speedway to pick up my credentials. The weather seems like it will be good.

I figured I would start a race discussion thread on this race. Here are some details for this weekend's race..

Well, the last race of the season. Well, that counts anyways. It was a good year and it went fast. I figured I would start a thread on this race.

Looking forward to it, though I figured they'd be running practice today, not tomorrow. Would be nice to see Helio win, and Dixon clinch the championship.

I think the same : Helio winning and Scotty clinching the title...that would be awesome.

i had an idea here guys, i just finsh up playing my xbox indycar game, i played Chicagoland, i played on hard mode, and yes i ran out of gas lol,

but on to my idea here, what if history re-plays itself again, and dixon runs out of gas, and helio wins the title? how weird wolud that be? could last year race happen again?

This is a "preemptive" quote of DanicaFan after the first practice...

"Well first practice is over and Danica is 9th fastest out of the big 8!! I look for her to easily win the pole with that speed and blazing talent. She continues to show that she's the one to beat each weekend...she's ahead of Mutoh!!" Woo Hoo...go Danica!

Now that qualifying is actually over (or about to be anyway), I'd take back my mocking comments about DP and her sweetheart but, Marty Roth qualified in the top 10 also. Just goes to show that anything can happen with only 1 car on the track and everybody is flat out from the pit box to the finish line. With a track full of cars, things will likely change but I'll hand it to AGR, they seem to have found something for qualifying at the very least. 3 cars in top 6...including Danica.
