Special Ed brought out 3 red flags for 3 separate incidents in the same 30 minute warm-up session at 2012 at Mid-Ohio. Put him on a track requiring left and right, up and down, braking and accelerating, shifting gears and...god forbid, some moisture, and...well...he sucks!! As for Karam. Yeah, a few risky moves but nothing we haven't seen before on ovals. Carpenter should just shut up and drive or retire. |

Apparently, the Iowa Corn 300 is NBCSN'’s most-watched race since 2011 at Baltimore.

I think that IndyCar ratings are increasing because NBC is cross-promoting on Nascar broadcasts and shows.
In Hispanic America, ESPN has three channels. They cross-promote every sport in every channel. Fox Sports also has three channels, but they don't cross-promote. So when I watch Fox Sports 3 (ex Speed), I get no football ads... and viceversa. (Curiously, Fox does cross-promote other channels, like Fox+, Fox Life and Nat Geo. Ew!). |

Finally watched it on PVR. Very entertaining. Big congrats and a shot in the arm for RHR, and great for IndyCar to have a podium full of American drivers (plus more near the top).
Wow - Graham Rahal does it again, comes from nowhere multiple times for a great result. And... second in the points! As to Ed Carpenter - I agree with the sentiments expressed above. I've heard this guy complain so many times over the years that it's getting old. Props to Sage for not getting drawn into a playground argument. Sure he was aggressive but he wasn't swerving and blocking, just driving a line. Final thoughts - those grandstands looked quite full and the track looks great under the lights. A nice jewel on the IndyCar schedule I think. |

I love the sunset races like this. When the race starts at black night, it's not as nice.
