It is a narrow track so Im having my doubts on a lot of passing. I think it may be a parade with many turns but let's hope Im wrong. ;)Quote:

I wouldnt count Danica out Turn3. Let's remember when they tested down here in February, it was colder than normal so we will see better results during the practice. :)
It is true, and the long back straight with the chicane at the end would have been a good overtaking spot. However, it's not a wish list. Barber wanted to host IndyCar and showed that it can pull fans, while Road Atlanta, AFAIK, hasn't even expressed interest towards the IRL.Quote:

DF Did it occur to you it was also cold for all the drivers?
That has got to be one of the strangest bits of reasoning I have ever seen in the 50 years I have been around this crazy sport. :D
Biggest problem against passing I think is all those Esses. Every decent straight ends with fast Esses were you can't outbrake someone. And if you do, you come short on the next corner anyway.
Strategy will be very important here. Since that is Danicas speciality I would not be surprised to see her score a good result.
Now what kind of logic would that be? :DQuote:

That's true Turn3, Danica didnt like the car setup she had when she tested there. So, wait till practice and when she has the better set-up. :)
