Congrats Helio!
What a month for him, about a month ago he could have been wearing a jumpsuit and in jail for Tax Evasion, and today he is the 3 time Indy 500 Champion! Go figure, I am happy for him. It was an exciting race, even though I lost the satellite for about 25 laps or so due to a huge storm that blew through here. OF course I can't complain too much I needed the rain at the house. But back to the race....
Andretti's should just stop trying to win, as Marco was taken out on the first lap, this curse is worse than the Cubs curse. I don't even thing John Andretti beat Milka Duno, who I think caused at least 2 wrecks today.
AJ Foyt - His teams never have the luck, but after his ABC Supply car caught on fire, was doused with water/soap, they fired it back up and he was back on the track. I was amazed, how could it be running? I mean there was LOTS of water. Well anyways a couple laps later he was in a bad wreck, I hope Vitor is OK.
Target Chip Ganassi - You can't win every year even though you have the "Super" team. What is up with that nick name, so they have Dixon who is very good no doubt, but Dario who tried Nascar, which didn't work out well at all, and now comes limping back to Open Wheel cars and takes a ride away from the Second Place finisher. Dan Wheldon, good for him. I also like Dan's car the best, computer cammo for the National Guard. What better sponsor can you have for the Indy 500...
Danica Patrick - Can any blog entry about IRL go with out a Danica mention? I guess not, she did great, finished 4th, so good for her. She ran an uneventful race, which is unusual for her, and didn't get in any trouble. Maybe one day she will have a shot, but not until Helio finishes racing, this guy has a chance to win 5 500's...
Ok just another 600 miles to go, but alas there is rain in Charlotte, bummer.
