Dixon leading.
 
Hinchcliffe, the rookie, leading Mid-Ohio with Dixon breathing down his neck. They're thinking it's going to be fuel mileage race.

I remember that. I'm sick of Dario. When he wins, all if well. But if he doesn't win, it's everyone's fault except his.

Seriously? It was a STUPID decision by the IZOD Series Officials to have a blind draw for staring positions in a championship series race. Had it been an exhibition race, where no points were awarded, it would be a different story. But when drivers are fighting for points - and each point gained or lost can have an impact on the championship outcome - I totally get Dario's frustration.

Don't be hatin', y'all!
 
Now, as far as the race at Mid-Ohio...

I thoroughly enjoyed that race. It was clean, competitive and despite the fact that Scott Dixon ran away with the win, there was a lot of action back in the pack.

What a fabulous facility! If I could drive a racecar on any track in the US, I would choose Laguna Seca, Mid Ohio and Sears Point, 1, 2 and 3.

BTW, if Riverside Raceway was still in operation, it would be Number One (with a bullet)!

Miss Thang showed why she is so interested in moving to NASCAR. She can't drive for sh!t on road courses...
