After a week off for the Cup series, they return to the track at the Brickyard. Thankfully, they have removed the sponsor from the name of the race and have returned to the proper name for the event.

Have never wanted Juan Pablo to win a race so bad.

Good practice speeds, fingers crossed!

fieldodreams79 · 24 Jul 2010, 11:02 (Ref:2731633)

Indeed good practice speeds for John Paul. Leading both practice sessions shows he'll be the one to beat. Let's hope the 42 team has a smart race.

And Awesome Bill looks like he'll get in on speed and not have to use a champs provisional; top 10 practice times in both sessions.

**Adam43** · 24 Jul 2010, 12:06 (Ref:2731652)

Fingers crossed on the pit lane speed.

Steevp · 24 Jul 2010, 16:05 (Ref:2731720)

John Paul on pole.. let's hope he doesn't fade like in the last few races.

Knowlesy · 24 Jul 2010, 18:16 (Ref:2731774)

He hasn't faded at Indy as of yet.

Please let the luck hold!

**FIRE** · 24 Jul 2010, 18:27 (Ref:2731790)

Hope they have the RPM LED's right this time.

**Adam43** · 24 Jul 2010, 18:32 (Ref:2731803)

and the speed gun/timing is calibrated too

fieldodreams79 · 24 Jul 2010, 20:58 (Ref:2731911)

He'll probably end up going to slow and get passed on pit road!

He's the one I'm pulling for this weekend, for sure.

Sod the lights, JPM just needs to not blow it. Was so frustrating last year as he very rarely throws away wins or makes mistakes when out front. I just hope he can make up for it one day.

I'll miss it due to work...let's hope luck is on our side.

Flyin Ryan · 25 Jul 2010, 17:09 (Ref:2732595)

hope we get a good race

Here's my list of names that've participated in the USGP and Indy 500 that are in today's race:

All 3 races: Montoya, Villeneuve
USGP and Brickyard 400: Speed
Indy 500 and Brickyard 400: Hornish, Stewart, Papis, R. Gordon

Go Robby!

skells22 · 25 Jul 2010, 17:22 (Ref:2732608)

green and yellow off the bat!

MJ_N_09 · 25 Jul 2010, 17:28 (Ref:2732615)

Caution 1: Kyle Busch and Sam Hornish get sideways and take out several cars behind them.

skells22 · 25 Jul 2010, 17:31 (Ref:2732617)

i wonder if this might change the comp yellow to a different lap

MJ_N_09 · 25 Jul 2010, 17:42 (Ref:2732627)

Cars are reportedly overheating. At least 10 cars in for trying to remedy this.

MJ_N_09 · 25 Jul 2010, 17:44 (Ref:2732628)

Caution 2: Robby blows tire and 13 catches fire. This could be a disaster of a race....

skells22 · 25 Jul 2010, 17:45 (Ref:2732630)

er, yellow number 2 just came out and there is two reasons, a fire in car 13 and some derbis and just been given the go-ahead for a top-up

Flyin Ryan · 25 Jul 2010, 17:46 (Ref:2732631)

Grass getting caught in the grill?

The car and track are no different than last year. Unless people are trying to run too much tape. Kinda dumb if it's a hot day there.

**Adam43** · 25 Jul 2010, 17:49 (Ref:2732633)

They might of been caught out as I think it is cooler than they have ran earlier in the weekend.

fieldodreams79 · 25 Jul 2010, 17:49 (Ref:2732634)

Whatever the cause of the overheating, it is an ugly start to the race.

Tires are seemingly blowing at an alarming rate....
