Been out and about, so just catching up on the qualifying results. Surprisingly decent effort by Plowman, solid base for Pantano to build on and Tung faster than you know who. Looking forward to the race!

Ah now I remember why I've not missed the IRL. What time does the actual race start so I don't have to sit through this pre race drivel.
Seriously!!! Is there a worse pre-race show?Quote:

Was Iowa really a worse race than this today?

At least Iowa had plenty of passing. I think Rahal's pass on Tag was the first of the day today.
Pretty embarrassing race for Andretti Autosport so far (and a fairly lame race overall).
I wonder if Andretti will let Danica run out of gas in any of her final races like Rahal did at Michigan after she told everyone she was leaving his team while saying it was all Bobby's fault she didn't do better.Come to think of it I heard the old car is running right excuse again today. Sorry Chad but her current running order may indicate just how much michael had to do with whatever success she has had. Before he would have been making statagy moves designed to get her farther up, doesn't appear that is happening now. She probably will do better next year, she won't need michael to move her up, nascar will make sure she has good finishes.
Not the most exciting race in the world, but still enjoyed it. I can understand why they don't use the extended final turn layout, but it does rather strangle the track. Nice drive by Power and with my "support the underdog" hat on, I thought a great display by Pantano. Kept Bourdais behind him and brought it home in the top six, which was more or less the "best of the rest" behind the Penske and Ganassi boys. I'd say that constitutes a good day in the office, given the circumstances.
Congrats to Will Power and the Penske team for a 1-2-3 finish.
