Yes it is. Now, if only Will Power would of been there too. And I would of put Scheckter or Manning in the #23 car instead of Milka if I was Dreyer & Reinbold.

Milka's gotta be bringing money with her, that's the only explanation.

At the start of the season, Dreyer & Reinbold announced that Milka Duno would run in some of the ovals while Darren Manning would run the road/street courses. So, that plan never panned out obviously. This was decided before they brought Scheckter on board. Scheckter brough along Mona-Vie as a sponsor.
 
The IndyCar drivers just finished a practice session. Ryan Briscoe was the quickest. Here are the results..

I'm happy to see Graham Rahal has been doing better recently. We were thinking about driving down, but I don't think we'll make it afterall.

at least there's a bunch of cars still on the lead lap at halfway, gotta love road courses for that, at least ;) I wish PT didn't wreck...he really should have a fulltime ride with a good team...

I dont know how Mario Morae's car left front wheel stayed in one piece or didnt get any suspension damage after that collision with Ed Carpenter.
 
I thought it was good racing for a road course. I was very glad to see someone besides Ganassi/Penske win :) Congrats to Justin Wilson and crew!
