What is the podium like there? I can't seem to find a picture of the full podium but only of Dan Wheldon, do they do a full podium?

They don't do a full podium (first three places), just the winner. "Victory Lane" is so tight there, once you bring the car in plus the team plus the wives and sponsors, there's no room for anyone else.

Great race overall, and one of the best 500s in years IMO.
I didn't get the watch the race until about 1am. I got up and watched the Monaco F1 (which was a great race as well) and recorded Indy since I had things to get done. We spent the evening at a friends who had a big party and watched the NASCAR race (snoozefest, glad they had plenty of beer).
Got home around 1, slightly buzzed, thinking I'd just watch some highlights before I logged on or turned on something and go the "spoiler" results. I ended up watching the entire race.
Gutted for Hildebrand. Most likely the adreneline rush got to him. It was like watching a train wreck. One second I'm thinking a rookie is going to win Indy... and he just kept driving in deeper and deeper... and at that point it was clear he was in the marbles and it was over. I'm sure he's going to hate life for a while, but worse things could happen.
As for the "side by side" ads, they do get annoying and seem to take forever sometimes, but it sure beats when they cut away, only to come back and replay a great pass or something.
And having lurked on this forum now and then to catch up on Indy news, I know how merciless you guys can be with DanicaFan. But I'll give him a lot of credit for loyalty. And for that reason alone, I'll remind everyone that a lot of your favorite drivers probably didn't make the top 10. It wasn't misfortune... Danica owned everyone behind her!

I am wondering, this was the one hundredth anniversary of the day of the first five hundred; will there be as big a lead-in and celebration for the actual one hundredth race in a few years on?

To quote the latest Dirtfish podcast.. Is Toyota is crisis ? Hyundai now lead them by 13 points and Neuville and Tanak are 1st & 2nd (=) in the WDC. Is their Driver line-up flawed, is the No...
