Firestone 550K

[harvick#1]

Milka being that fast was a fluke, probably lots of tow. Look for her in the back of the field come qualifying.

Danica will be just fine. She will get speed. Look for her to be in contention for the pole. Front 2 rows for sure.

So why are you badmouthing Milka all the time!!!!!! sorry but she only has 1 less win than Danica in the IRL.

why dont you stop being so biased to your driver and see the sport in a unbiased point of view for once.

No pole, no first 2 rows.

Does Alex Lloyd win a medal for being best in class, in quals?

Danica said that Texas suits her because "the car doesn't slide around much at Texas". We know DP. You can't drive a car that isn't mechanically stuck and aerodynamically perfect (thanks to your sorry-ass crew/team).

I am simply done listening to posters tell me some secretary in danicas agents office sitting in a cubicle posting how great she is what type of fan this sport needs more of

[Scotty G.]

Can we get some more red and black cars? Seriously. Are there any original thoughts out there with paint schemes in mind?



Mutoh predicting a huge pack race tomorrow. At least it will be interesting to watch (which very few Indy Car races have been in the last 4 or 5 years). Hope some of these drivers keep their drawers clean.

[Mark in Oshawa]

Milka being 20th or so just says how easy this track is to drive with the aero aids the cars have now. Keep your foot to the floor and your heart in your mouth and after a while it is easy. The only tough part to it will be racing in a pack all day. God knows where anyone gets huge amounts of entertainment out of that at times, but I will watch..and pine for the days when people actually had to display a skill in getting the car around the track rather than hanging on and trying to guess the draft.

Oh well, Danica's not on the front two rows, but she did do better than P11-15 that I thought she'd manage. Looks like tomorrow will be quite a close race.

[Easy Drifter]

Milka will be a menace there but I expect her to drop back quickly. Surprised at Tags and Simona. Wish Sarah was in the new car.
I also expect the Princess to drop back at the beginning as she does not like close racing.

[Alfa Fan]

And just look at who the five drivers who are starting around her are. I suspect she'll get in the way and collide with one of them and then throw a hissy fit. In fact that's so likely it almost goes without saying.
