A great performance for Bobby Wilson in his home state as he take the checkers at the Milwaukee 100 with Jeff Simmons taking 2nd by .0893. Matos seals the podium for 3rd. Richard Antinucci, Dillon Battistini and JR Hildebrand are separated by 15 points with Antinucci holding a 1 point lead over Battistini.

That was a pretty good race but I didn't know any of the car/driver combinations. I think Wilson had a little extra speed left in the tank at the end but he didn't want to mess with the lapped cars directly in front of him and gambled Simmons wasn't going to pass him with only a couple laps left anyways.

I have yet to see an Indy Lights race on TV this year but I can tell you that in person they sound awful!

Apparently they televise at ESPN2. But the coverage is only 1/2 long.
I wished they have it for the whole hour. It will be televised on Thursday
at 1 PM ET.
