Hmmm....well Memo has a ride, but at this stage who do we think will win?
Ray? -lets see if he doesnt stack it on pit road this year...
Boat? -?
TCGR?

I thought Memo was born in Mexico.

Boy that field covers just about everybody in racing, doesn't it? I have no idea who will win - I haven't heard of most of the pilotes. But it would be nice if Scott Goodyear won because he's Canadian.

If it rains maybe Billy Boat will win.

hey all.....this my first post here. Menard's cars have always been fast at Indy but making it to the finish has been a problem in the past, although Robbie Gordon came within a lap of putting that to rest last May. Watch the Team Kelley cars this May of #8 Scott Sharp & #28 Mark Dismore, this is a strong team that is also overdue at Indy for some 'luck'.

who in the what now?

[Crash Test]

Any idea who is driving for Brack?

[mapguy]

Wow, a category for foreign born drivers. What's next? Goose stepping during the parade and the crowd saluting "Heil Tony"?

[Crash Test]

Excuse me Liz, i know it is rude to say shut up, but here goes anyways.

Mapguy: Shut up.

There, im happy now
