Great news - Tomas Enge has been cleared for the race
 Also, Luke, good job on the opening post, but you might want to change the link to the track-website (as it's currently pointing towards Texas Motor Speedway)...

Question:
Is Lazier on the list in a 3rd Panther car this weekend, or was Michigan his last event? |

So Sharp wins! Meira 2nd.
Wheldon the only AGR in 3rd. Barron 4th! and Foyt IV 9th, after running as high as 6th. Obviously I've fallen asleep and have dreamt up some weird result. When I wake up and check the results page, I will expect to see the usual AGR 1-2-3! |

AJ Foyt IV was the biggest surprise of the race for me, and that switch to Chevy seemed to do wonders for that team. Hopefully they will manage to keep this up for the rest of the season.
Overall a good, clean race, and it was nice seeing Sharp back in victory lane

According to the race commentators on ABC, not only was there a change of manufacturers for the engines, but Foyt has hired an engineer to work with AJ IV. They were not clear if this was just for the one race or a permanent move.
It is only one race but it is good to see the kid reap some benefit from better power and competent set up advice. |

For some reason I missed the race, I'm not sure why...
IPS and Atlantics teams have engineers, so whatever make Foyt think he could run competitively without an engineer? It really hasn't been fair to AJ IV. |
