dang ovals, they don't favor Will Power at all, he's gonna have to have his stuff together if he wants to beat Dario...
 
Here is the entry list for the race.

Dillon Battistini will be driving the #34 car for Conquest Racing.

Wow, is all I have to say about the qualifying. Will Power gets the pole position and sets a new track record in the process with a 2 lap average of 219.283 mph!

And I am shocked Danica didnt qualify better than 14th. Mile and a half ovals are her specialty. Im hoping for a good race tomorrow.

Seriously? She already has her head in the Nationwide series. Look how she did compared to her team-mates who are presumably running similar cars.

Looks like your going to have to change your signature pic for next year. B)
 
Pit lane was crazy today!

Congrats to Ed Carpenter for the win. That was awesome! It sucks about Marco, had that not happened in pit lane, I think we would of seen that Venom car in victory lane.

What a race! 26 laps of side-by-side with no "Caution" flag needed to bunch them up. Racing the way it should be!
 
Brian Barnhart's gotta go, that last caution was 15 minutes. Of course, he was doing it to help Franchitti, but still... IndyCar would be great if it wasn't for Head Wanker.
 
Man, I knew Power was gonna blow his load, Dario's got him now. Roger's gonna have to wait another year to get another title & WTF is going on with Helio? Geez he's been in Rogers equipment I think 12 years now & still hasn't won a championship, Roger has never had a driver in his Indy cars for this long that didn't win a driving title...

Doesn't hurt (for Dario) when he has IndyCar on his side.

Quick question but how are pit stalls assigned in the Indycar Series? Cause Dario had the very first one and Power had one right in the middle?

The pit assignments for this race were determined by how they qualified on the last oval prior to Kentucky which was New Hampshire.
