Seriously....What Happened to Dario was enough to consider firing the offender but to have it happen to Dixon as well? Wouldn't be surprised if somebody is turning in his Target uniform.Quote:

I'm not an expert on car/fuel terminology. What do you mean by "check the fuel pickups"? Keep in mind that the problem happened with both cars, just a bit later on Dixon so he got the hiccup late on the last lap. Do you mean that Ganassi had some fuel pickup that was meant to burn the fuel quicker - ie more speed - and thus they went through their ideal load quicker than expected? I guess what I'm asking is, did they screw themselves by cheating a little and then not covering it up with extra fuel in the tank?Quote:

the top story lines so far in Indy have been awesome, Tags nailing the pole and to see Sarah Fisher Racing get in the Fast nine, Ed did all he could to save the car from wrecking but it was great to see they tried.
extremely happy still to see Tags win the pole over Dixon, refreshing to see a face other than a ganassi/penske driver taking the spotlight. Andretti Autosport, they might be lucky to field 2 cars in the field :eek: its great to see the smaller teams taking it to the big dogs this year.
I'm aamazed at the emotion some people showed yesterday. It really shows which people are doing this because it is more than just a job or paycheck. The reaction all day from Tags and Sam and the 77 team showed just how much it meant to them. Dario's reaction really shows how much the 500 means to him. Sarah and the 67 team was just amazing to watch. I could go on, Servia's interviews whilst he was sitting on the pole with 2 cars to run, and so many more.
I think bump day will indeed see some big names not qualify, and it is sure to be emotional too!
That is certainly the story line for qualifying, but may also be true of the race looking at practice times.Quote:

The second was the inability to get Briscoe's backup car up to speed. Very un-Penske like.
Bump day should be wild
