XM Satellite Radio Indy 300 @ Homestead Event Thread *SPOILERS*

Dan Wheldon grabbed the pole ahead of Sam Hornish Jr while Dario Franchitti, Tony Kanaan and Marco Andretti from AGR rounded out the top 5

Great to see that AGR seems to have caught up a bit to Ganassi and Penske. Great job by Sarah Fisher, after a rather long absence, to put the D&R car in the 9th starting spot.

Full line-up:
1. 10 Dan Wheldon Chip Ganassi Racing 24.9438sec 214.322mph
2. 6 Sam Hornish Jr Team Penske 24.9466 214.298
3. 27 Dario Franchitti Andretti Green Racing 25.0147 213.714
4. 11 Tony Kanaan Andretti Green Racing 25.0429 213.474
5. 26 Marco Andretti Andretti Green Racing 25.1276 212.754
6. 9 Scott Dixon Target Chip Ganassi Racing 25.1301 212.733
7. 8 Scott Sharp Rahal Letterman Racing 25.1431 212.623
8. 3 Helio Castroneves Team Penske 25.1459 212.599
9. 5 Sarah Fisher Dreyer & Reinbold Racing 25.1575 212.501
10. 22 A J Foyt IV Vision Racing 25.2160 212.008
11. 4 Vitor Meira Delphi Panther Racing 25.2443 211.771
12. 2 Tomas Scheckter Vision Racing 25.2651 211.596
13. 15 Buddy Rice Dreyer & Reinbold Racing 25.2707 211.549
14. 7 Danica Patrick Andretti Green Racing 25.2848 211.431
15. 20 Ed Carpenter Vision Racing 25.2975 0.0127 16. 17 Jeff Simmons Rahal Letterman Racing 25.3240 211.104
17. 14 Darren Manning AJ Foyt Enterprises 25.4298 210.226
18. 55 Kosuke Matsuura Super Aguri Panther Racing 25.4355 210.179
19. 25 Marty Roth Roth Racing 25.5182 209.498
20. 98 Alex Barron CURB/Agajanian/Beck Motorsport 25.7473 207.633

Just seen it, bloody hell.

The car didn't really move a lot, it just sort of stopped dead at the fence and disintegrated from the front. He must have some pretty bad leg injuries?

Pablo Perez and Sean Guthrie was racing side by side when they made contact in one of the turns, sending Perez flying into the catch fence in a nearly identical way to how Ryan Briscoe did it at ChicagoLand in 2005.

Perez was taken to hospital with leg injuries.

EDIT - Bleh, beaten by two minutes.

I jumped back to when the crash was shown and the commentator mentioned Perez had suffered "extensive injuries to his feet and ankles", and also that there hadn't been any further update on Perez' condition.

The web reports I've seen so far haven't mentioned any details, other than Perez being in stable condition, so we'll have to wait and see just how severe the injuries are.

You two thought you could have fun without me.

Dixon is pantsing them at the moment.

Solid run from Dario...

Must be some sort of technical problem - he was about to be caught by Marty Roth, I believe, before he pulled into the pits.

You know you've hit rock bottem when Roth is after you.

Hornish locks it up into the pits. Had a thought about doing a Dixon.

I'm not sure what I think about the smaller fuel cell...

Howdy Hazza....

I just can't adjust to this IRL night race at Homestead crack. Night races at this oval are designed for Dodge Chargers to go careering into the wall backwards, erupting into flames.

Mr Hornish in the pits, hopefully lost some time.
