I assume for #1 you mean the winner of the Indianapolis 500 (might want to correct that to prevent everyone from putting "Helio Castroneves" and technically being right)

I do indeed....
I chased two days worth of e-mails after my visit to Mid-Ohio for the ALMS race this weekend as well as media to attend an event that my employer hosted that got decent coverage today, so I was too busy to change the template that I have created for races for this contest. Feel free to change it, moderators... Thanks! |

Housekeeping Note:
In case it does become a rain-shortened race, the winner will be counted for points at any milestone beyond the official end of the race... Example... If it goes 130 laps and Helio wins it, anyone who had him at lap 150 will get points and whoever had him at 200 laps will get points. I hope it does not rain... But there is a 30% chance of isolated storms tomorrow due to the heat and humidity... Keep your fingers crossed... We want a full and complete 200 laps!!! |

I've always counted both drivers when two tangle and crash out of a race to be the first two cars out....I think it is only fair to do so....
In this case, especially so, since Bucknum caused the wreck by hitting the rumble strips in turn 2 and spinning it. Chesson had nowhere to go.... |
