KC should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridKC should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
I saw the majority of the race. As usual the IRL cars have a good race at Texas. Unfortunately the nature of the track that was originally designed for 200mph stock cars has struck at the drivers. The wrecks were quite spectatcular and scary for any race fan.

I have no idea what was going through Greg Ray's brain when he elected to pass McGehee on the apron when the lap car was already half way on it. Not a very bright move. McGehee gave all of the track to the lead cars in a most gentlemanly move and got run over for it. It was easy to see him looking in his right mirror wondering where Ray was only to have him strike his left front tire and send them both crashing up the track into Cheever. I bet Cheever was very hot about it afterwards.
