It is already over, Power wins. Congrats to Will. 2nd place goes to....Dixon, Franchitti, Briscoe, or Wilson.

What about Danica ? She is due for a good race.

What about Danica ? She is due for a good race.

Yea, the first chance she has to do that is Kansas where she doesn't have to turn right.

As for the St. Pete GP, I'm looking forward to it. I think you have to look at Will Power, RHR, and Franchitti as being near the top of the leader board. Even having Rahal in the field will be an underdog.

Should be another exciting race. Doesn't look like rain though at the moment. I know we are still pretty far out from the race, but at the moment, they are calling for a 71.6 F high with 0% chance of precipitation.

Looking forward to this race.

My bad, you're right. I'd expect a top 15 out of her this weekend. St. Pete is an attrition fest so that becomes a possibility for a no talent hack in top equipment. Her teammates look to be near the top 5 though.

And has been for a mighty long time. But yet doesn't deliver the goods, except for one momentous occasion when she should have taken the team strategist and pit crew out for a Kobi steak dinner.

If Danica gets to the top 10, it means she outlasted a lot of guys trying to win and failing with concrete kisses. Sorry DF, this isn't her milieu and you should know that.....

Let her get to Kansas and glue that gas pedal to the floor....like 24 other people (Milka still lifts...)
