Takuma for the win!

Takuma for the win!

Close, but no cigar.

Quite unfortunate race for the Andretti team that was so strong in qualifying. Hinch out early, RHR out as well and Marco seemed to have the car to beat in the beginning, but had to save fuel towards the end. Ganassi on the other hand has had a good race - nowhere in qualifying and finishing 1-2-3.

Nice drive by Kimball. A couple more laps and he may have had a shot at a win.

This was one great race! I have enjoyed it very much.

[Granatelli]

Good race. Surprised Ganassi was 123. Makes the season even more interesting. Double points in Toronto!

I set my DVR to record the whole show plus extra 2hrs of padding in the end. I watched the race today. For some reason they started the show from lap 60 or so on cable. This was weird.

It started at 12 noon eastern US time on ABC either broadcast or cable.

Well on my U-verse DVR box, I simply found the Indy race listing and set it to be recorded. The listing was I believe starting at 12pm, central time. It seems like either ABC or the cable company screwed the listing.

I forgot to ask last week..


What was Takuma Sato thinking to rear end a car in a pit lane. Such a rookie mistake.
