Over or under: Milka goes a lap down within 30 laps.

Bah...I think she'll go down a lap within the first 20. On a similar note, what are the odds she finishes the race? I say 50/50 at best.
 
Don't know if anyone's watching pre-race, but I think I just witnessed the most rediculous driver interview job ever. Not sure the guys name, but he was interviewing Danical Patrick about the deal last week with TK. That alone is bad enough (it's over and done, c'mon guys), but he continued to follow her, (with camerman in tow) all the way up the stairs, all the way acorss the stage, all the way down the stairs, and as far as he could (even while she was being presented a check).

Driver introduction to the fans in the stands should be their moment, and shouldt be spoiled for the fan by the TV crew.:mad:
 
Awesome job by Tony Kanaan. A great win for Andretti Autosport.

What'd Ms. Duno[HowToDrive] do now?

Lap 21, getting lapped down low by Power, she over reacted as he was passing her and darted up the track. Almost took out second place Andretti. 9 laps later (yes nine whole laps), she's being lapped again.

They need to kick her out of the series. I know that would mean one less car in every race but for safety reasons she needs to go. The problem I find with this is Hugo Chavez wants a Venezuelan driver to drive the Citgo car. EJ Viso is also from Venezuela and is a young talented driver as you seen today with his third place finish. I dont know what it is but this is why the series gets put in the shape its in. Viso has no sponsor after the year where im guessing Milka will continue to drive for some team.
