Indy 500 !
« on: May 28, 2006 - 02:54:18 PM »
That was an exciting finish!!!!!!!!!

 How Hornish blew by the rookie Andretti at the last fraction of a second!

Only downside IMO...it was a Honda   :(

Had it on & could not stay interested in the 2nd annual Danika 500. Did see the finish
& that was good . I think they took a page from NASCAR, that little scrape of the wall took 7-laps to clear up?  :naughty:

Yeah, a great ending on that race.
Years ago, the Penske team ran Chevy's. Then they switched to MB's. But Honda's were kicking their a$$. So they switched over to Honda.

Did you hear her laugh when they interviewed her after the race?  OMG, it sounded awful.

The lady definately has a talent, but all the hype has to be just as distracting to her. I didn't watch the race, but saw some of the post race coverage on speed, you would have thought she had won from all the talk about her driving skills. Of course she has skills, so does every other driver out there, otherwize I seriously doubt a car / team owner would put her behind the wheel. But all in all, good for her.
