She went a bit wide and brushed the wall. At first it seemed she would be ok, but there was some issue with the car and they wound up parking it. She took the entire blame in the interview and apologized profusely to her team. Real standup job.Quote:

It means "get out of the way" not "stay exactly where you are".
Nope. The passing car is required to pick a safe place to pass. Kimball was low and the idea that he was suppose to suddenly change his line at the last moment is silly and dangerous.Quote:

Was Bryan Herta Autosport cooperating with another team this month? If so, who???
Sam Schmidt Motorsports owned the Chassis.Quote:

And for once, a race that made me forget about the spec-formula racing debacle.
I was dead wrong about SSM this month. When I saw they didn't go out for Opening Day practice, I was pretty skeptical that they must have been spreading their resources way too thin if they had so many cars they were collaborating with, and then not even doing a full program on any of them. Turned out to be a pretty good month for them, and I have to say, I'm very glad it was. Great team and I found myself supporting many of the cars they were affiliated with on the basis of being underdogs with a real chance and having some great stories within their participation. Glad to see a class act like Wheldon win with some help from another of the paddock's greatest people, Sam Schmidt.Quote:

Their loss; most of us, I hope, had a wonderful afternoon. I know I did.Quote:
