Observations: Great Race! Scary crash by Rice - good that he's okay! Good to see that Ganassi and Penske are back going.
Bad that I keep forgetting to put my predictions.

I finally got to catch a replay today , thought i wasnt going to get to see it at all.

well done to Adrian on a fine drive

excellent race with lots of dicing and some great passes or attempts to pass.

Frightening crash for Rice and what amazing shots from mannings car , unbelievable , glad he and darren are ok though.

some good racing by guys that havent been up there much this year too , like Scott Sharp , AJ Foyt and Dixon as well.
