    James Hinchcliffe, the least-hyped of the Go Daddy drivers, became 'Big Daddy' in St. Pete with a win.

    Well-deserved maiden win for the Hinch. A bit too many yellows for my liking, though. Shame that Vautier dropped out with a technical problem, otherwise he would have been on for a top-five-finish in his debut race.

    Good race. Glad to see a charismatic North American winner, if he continues to do well, that will be good for the circuut. Also good to see Simona do so well, that should stir up some interest as well.

    NBCSN says TV ratings strong for IndyCar opener - Kingsport Times-News Better. I would guess

    The NBC Sports Network said Tuesday it had strong ratings for its season-opening IndyCar race, with 388,000 viewers who amounted to a 78 percent increase over last year's debut race on the cable channel.The race Sunday afternoon in St. Petersburg, Fla., earned a .26 rating, up 53 percent from last year, when NBCSN's first telecast of the IndyCar season was the second event of the year. Last year, 218,000 people watched the event at Barber Motorsports Park.
    Its 53% over last years SEASON opener AND 78%, over last years NBCSN's opener (which was race #2), but either is a nice improvement.

    Have you notice Yahoo news has been focusing on Formula 1 in their daily story headlines? Great to see other forms of racing (rather than just Nascar) included, but I wonder why they selected F-1 vs Indycar?

    Well-deserved first win for the Hinch. A bit too many yellow for my preference, though. Pity that Vautier decreased out with a specialized issue, otherwise he would have been on for a top-five-finish in his first appearance competition . . . . . . . .
