Sorry.. There's a slight mistake in the opening post, of course the driver of the #4 car is Ryan Briscoe this weekend... Anyway, I'm looking forward to this race.. Sonoma is a great race track and let's hope for an awesome race!

Not anymore! I edited it. What is this "Sonoma" track you speak of though? Sorry that place is and will always be Sears Point.

Hey Gary, good to see you again! Well, the track is officially called Sonoma Raceway.. Of course it is and always will be Sears Point hihihi.. What do you think about tomorrows' race? Will Dario be able to get his first win since he won at Indy in 2012?

[FormerFF]

I have to think if Dario is in P1 and Scott in P2, somehow Scott will manage to "get by." I hope it doesn't come to that.

Do you mean teamorders? Please don't let this become the second Formula 1... Penske didn't do it with Briscoe either, last year...
