We were at the race and saw Franchitti's car slowing for a couple of laps. Then, he came by us (turn 4) at about 120 mph and his engine sounded like ****! My buddy and I looked at each other and said, "why doesn't he just park it?" He continued sloooowly across the finish line, and then through turns 1 and 2. It took him so long to get back around the track that we actually forgot about him. Next thing you know, he's stopping at turn 4 with the engine on fire. If the slow speeds and a sputtering engine are normal to Franchitti, he'll fit in perfectly in the EARL.
