Air Wick must be the sponsor? That will be a somewhat odd livery!

It'd be great if she could win it without a very high attrition rate, but it surely has to be rather unlikely? Unless, of course, she has made big improvements over the off-season.
http://www.airwick.com/index.php?flash=true It is a company that makes air fresheners of various forms. It is a major brand in Canada, at least. |

Conquest will put Alex Tagliani in their seat for this weekend
Both Tags and Manning are one-race deals, with "hope" they can find enough sponsors to help them work their way further into the season. |

I quite like that. I mean, I prefer the Targte livery by far, but that's alright.
I have an Air Wick freshener, so I shall cheer Dario into victory lane with even more of my might. |

Dario Franchitti topped the morning practice session charts with teammate Dixon second
Justin Wilson, Ryan Briscoe and Dan Wheldon rounded out the top five. Rahal & Doornbos were 10th & 11th Marco was the top AGR car in 7th, and Kanaan didn't run at all in the session. |
