Please post the last pole she actually won, that wasn't because qualifying was washed out. I'm curious.Quote:

Two Americans in the top 6! USA! USA!
Will Power gets four in a row! Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!
DanicaFan, do you sleep with a life size card board cut out of DP? I bet she's covered in your love juice.....
Opps. At least reports indicate his flight into the tires it was a brake failure, not a failure to brake. This one may be on the team.Quote:

Went to a race in Richmond about 6-7 years ago and DF's hero had the pole. Within a lap she running tenth or worse.....a real racer!
I say that because she is awesome on ovals and she runs at the top of the charts on them. They are her expertise.Quote:

June 2004 - - Portland, Oregon

July 2005 - Kansas Speedway
Aug. 2005 - Kentucky Speedway
Sept. 2005 -Chicagoland Speedway
What has she done in the past six years? Nada, zip, zilch. Oh wait... she has acted like a spoiled brat, that's something.Quote:

She is good enough to take advantage of good race strategy or luck, but not good enough to win races without it.
This one is definitely on the team.

I agree with pressdog, we need more of this sort of thing:

Helio, Simona, and Danica all out, RHR missed the turn and smacked the tire barriers
Over/under on car finishing:13
Man, Danica just took Simona out. What was she thinking?
Hard to place any blame on the racers .. Thats just wet and slick
We all knew a hand full of drivers weren't going to make it thru.... They just happened to be the 5
Sato is P6!!!!!!!
They need to throw the clock up right now
Downpour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kimball P8!!!! gonna be alot of mixed results and who can keep it on the track.
Red flag
I _was_ looking forward to the race....but they finally made the right decision to red flag it. Feh.
And here's where that expertise got her in qualifying on the ovals last season :-Quote:

It's better than her record on other types of tracks, granted, but to claim it's "awesome" or indicative of a likely challenge for pole is something of a stretch, even by your standards. I'd love to know how you can discern she's likely to be challenging for poles on the basis of the above. Top ten maybe, but top six is unlikely and I'd wager pole is vanishingly so.
Did I miss the Danica interview?
This is IndyCar! The clock is kept secret until someone says there are only 5 minutes left.Quote:

Did they just list helio as a 4 time winner of the 500?
Hey they gave him 1, why not another?Quote:

So soo good for the series
It's dryer than the start let's go racing
rain rain go away.....
The radio guys are great .... Really enjoying the 2010 Indy recap
The cost of the satellite feed is gonna be astronomical to show a bunch of cariocas sweeping water off a track for 2 hours. Are they going to get this thing going a gain or not? And if they call it, what then? Don't they have to go at least half way to call it a complete race? I think that's what CART did, but I'm not sure about IC.
Negative. Danica got squeezed down in there, nothing she could do.Quote:
