Camping World Grand Prix at The Glen

[TURN3]

dammit I was about to say this too :

but in reality, Power is gonna be back in force this week

Yes, Power and J-Dub. Don't discount that Ganassi has no doubt had plenty of time to work on the roadie bits. Dario and Dixon will be there too. Will be interesting to see how badly PT gets outdriven by J-Dub too...no fault or anything of PT but he's hardly had the seat time to be fair.

I have called it the bus stop since they added the chicane - isn't that what most of the racers call it?

That's what I have heard most cal the inner loop added after TK crashed hard in the Intrepid.

Sadly, the "REAL" Bus Stop chicane is no longer..... At least it was called what it was, a bus stop....

[garyshell]

The track itself refers to it as the "bus-stop".

Thanks for the link, Gary. I didn't realize they had stolen the name.

You threw me for a second there, I was trying to imagine what Kanaan could've possibly done in a rental car on track, and how young he must have been lol.

Yes, Kendall had a massive smash there the same year that J.D. McDuffie had a fatal crash in that corner. I'm sure the combination of the two crashes (1991) are the full reason for the inner loop. Cervert was long ago even then ('73), and his crash was in the uphill esses (fyi there was actually a chicane at the bottom of the hill before the esses put in place for a little while in '75).

Anyways, looking forward to this one in a big way, the new paved runoffs will continue to make WG racing great!

The REAL Bus Stop Chicane was actually a bus stop at one time.

My dad and I had just walked throught the tunnel down from the messes and were standing right in front of cevert's crash. That was the first crash I had ever witnessed right in front of me at a race. I was 8 and didn't know for quite a while that cevert had died.

Here is what Adam Carroll's car looks like. I love this paint scheme but this is Danica's paint scheme and always will be. They should of done something different.

[beachgirl]

No, actually, it's the Boost Mobile paint scheme. Just because it was used on Danica's car doesn't mean she "owns" the paint scheme or has proprietary rights to it. Just like when Danica eventually leaves Indycar, for whatever reaon, her number will not go with her. Another Andretti driver will be driving the 7. Like it or not, that's life in the big leagues.
