Dixon and Wheldon take out the front row, with Marty Roth taking a remarkable 7th.

Race starts in 90 mins or so? Moraes totalled his car in qualifying, touch and go whether his car will be in a raceable condition.

Vision racing have really upped their game this year. That 20 car is worth the Menards sponsorship, very reminiscent in performance of the Team Menards cars from Indy's past. Can't wait for the race to start, will be watching it on IndyCar.com because TSN Alternate feed hasn't been working for me in my experience thus far.

Oh dear, Roth just almost ran over most of Schekter's pitcrew
 ...and now Roth baulks Wilson and costs him half a dozen places. Last edited by cos; 27 Apr 2008 at 21:44. |

What a terrible race. Can't wait for the "new" guys to get up to speed. I hope that they can make some serious gains during the month of May.

It wasnt great admittled
and can someone give me a rundown of the rules regarding backmarkers and indy - I dont know who the idiot was who kept blocking Ryan but it cost him a chance at a podium.......I was so angry , no ___ed off more like it  In any other motorsport if a backmarker doesnt move off the racing line after a point then they get a penalty Last edited by ozrevhead; 28 Apr 2008 at 11:19. |

It's really difficult to get out of the way on an oval if you're racing someone else as the leaders come by. If you were running on your own, and weren't really concerned about your own race *sneeze*Milka!*sneeze* you could pull onto the apron and complete the majority of your race offline, but these guys are all racers. I haven't seen the blocking that occurred but if it was blatant a black flag should have been shown. However, if Ryan hadn't the speed to safely complete the pass, he's on his own there.
Chris P.S. Got to watch the race on TV as TSN Alternate worked (finally). Hooray for sitting on a comfortable couch while watching racing! |

On ryans instance there was room and i think its the onus on the backmarker to get out of the way - hes not racing for position. What happend next time when the 'backmarker' has a car problem and takes the person for postion out - could determ the championship at the wrong time Last edited by ozrevhead; 28 Apr 2008 at 12:48. |

They have a real problem with this closed pits rule etc....It's an absolute farce when the leader sops for fuel and is penalised by being in the pits when the yellow comes out. Those on the track get a definite advantage and it has nothing to do with the racing....
TG, Cottman & co will do nothing about it until it almost destroys the Indy 500 and then we will probably get knee jerk reaction with another stupid rule... It ha provided two out of the box winners in 4 races and is bound to affect more races this season. It virtually turns the series into a lottery. |

The more rules you get the more room for 'interperation' and foul ups. All of motorsport needs to back to axiom #1. the infamous kiss rule: KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!!!!
