Bottom post of the previous page:

Every year I manage to miss this race. I have it scheduled on the DVR this year, so no excuses. Looking forward to a good race. Unfortunately, its also the first IndyCar race I've seen this year, so I have no idea what to expect.

Well, it's only the second race of the season. :wink:

Chip Ganassi was a complete disaster yesterday, none of the cars making the Fast Six.

Following Askew's wreck, the race has been brilliant.

Dixon just ran away with it. Plus the track is a bit dull. They need to add a bit more to the track. Similar idea to Daytona road course where the back straight is also part of the track.

Rubbish track, and I can't say the race was anything amazing - but watchable enough.

Getting the back straight in there would be a great idea.

Dixon is bossing it.

Dozed off for a nap with about 20 laps to run. Woke to find Dixie going up on the scissor lift. From what I did see, not half bad.

Agree with the above. Not the most thrilling race, but at least they are racing.
