You can congratulate Back of Pack Danica for a 4th place finish but it had NOTHING to do with her driving an awesome race. She didn't pass a single car the entire race, including that of Ed Carpenter when Ed was out front of her. She, as usual, was the roulette winner that got her a place in line.
All in all, for these cars the first time to LB, I have to say how depressing of a race that really was. There were virtually no passes, except for Power passing Danica and Tags passing Hunter-Reay. Dario made one but seriously, that parade was worse than Belle Isle. Very disappointing action from LBGP in my opinion.
As far as Dixon, what was his deal today? He single handedly took 6 cars out of the race or contention.
Yeah, whatever Turn, Danica cant do anything right to you.
Fantasic Result for Will :D - I think they dont have the third car til Indy :mad:Now I love Ryan to bits everyone knows that but sometimes he can do somthing silly that gives you the urge to pull your hair out! Fustrating day out there today but he will bounce back, its going to take more than one race for me not to keep the faith!Quote:

She finished 4th on 2 complete luck yellow flag pit stops and she DID NOT pass a car the entire race. So no, unitl she can finish a singel timed session above 18th and start making competitive passes you're right, she can't do anything right for me. She shouldn't even have a ride in this series.
All you have to do is explain to me with facts and stats why I should consider a professional race car driver. You've never even tried because you can't.
Point of the day is....does anybody else agree it was a boring race? Too much fuel conservation, too many marbles, too similiar of cars, etc.
It was a typical street race. That's why I'm glad that the IRL probably won't be adding any more of these soon.
All in all a pretty good (street) race IMO.
PS. Way to go Danica!

As wet as it was, the F1 GP of China was much more exciting and fun to watch. Now, bring on the drive-fast, turn-left portion of the season. Wake me up when its over....Quote:
