I don't see Danica in F1 anytime soon. I don't think she is good enough. Though there are some in there who make you scratch your head some.

I do not think that Danica is unable to compete in IRL/CC. That being said, a move to Sportscars could be very good indeed for her - especially if it is with Rahal.

She might not be a 4th place winner in sports cars though.

Back to Topic:

It seemed clear to me as I watched from the stands on Sunday that AGR was working on race setups and getting their cars comfortable in traffic, because with 10 laps to go, they were holding the top 4 spots....they were smooth and in contention (with the exception of Herta) most of the afternoon, and they really turned up the juice in the final 30 laps..

Kanaan went down to the grass to pass Dixon (who "helped" him get down there by trying to protect his postion),

and the sequence where Kanaan ultimately took the lead from Wheldon was one of the most exciting exchanges I've ever seen at Indy....Kanaan passed him wheldon cam alongside through the short chute, they split a backmarker in turn 4 and raced for the line, with Kanaan winning the drag race on the front straight....fantastic action, and most of it happened within my view of the race!!!

The main reason why Michael was there was because of his late Top-Off for fuel at the end of the caution on lap 162 or so, which allowed him to cycle back through as others had to pit for a splash of fuel....same for Hornish....

But Sam was fast...I do not believe Michael had the speed to be a top 5 car without that pit decision at that point in the race...good call by both...and I beleive that call actually put Hornish in position to win it at the end...

BTW....AGR went home with $2 million in prize money from this weekend....last year, they came home with about $3 millin due to Wheldon winning it...not a bad payday for the Month, eh???
