Judging from that video clip Teixeira should be right at home in the take to the skies dullaras. Sonangol is going onboard as a major F1 sponsor it appears, too bad they left Superleague. |

The revised entry list shows that China Racing has evaporated (yep...vaporware) from the list and that the #16 car is gone as well.
I don't think Pagenaud will get a seat, unless a team grabs him to step in, but he is not in ROP this Thursday, so I don't think the $$$ or the deal came together. |

Very good interview with Townsend Bell, Will Power & JR Hildebrand here after todays practice. Of particular note are Bell's views on the new car & speed...

Does anyone know if the Hot Wheels ramp is making spectators mad?

Simona Di Silvestro did NOT receive medical clearance to return to action this morning.
No indication as to when she can go back to be re-evaluated, but HVM should probably look at Plan B for this weekend to get someone else in the car to at least qualify it. |

Well, I was hoping Danica would of made her qualifying attempts earlier in the session but instead she will be in the heat of the day. Oh well, she is showing speed, I think she will do just fine. |

Scott Speed is a dick. Sorry, but he is. He'd rather leave his team hanging than use his "oh so great ability" to sort the car out. I hope he doesn't get back in the car, and if he does then I hope he ends up bump day the lowest bumper.
Sorry, no time for this bloke. |

If they are, Paul Tracy will be out of luck yet again following Indy. Haven't gotten confirmation of the Dragon demise, but that one has been whispered by lots of people since Sunday morning. |

Junqueria has been booted out in favor of Hunter-Reay.
Now I know this has happened lots in the past but man, it sucks! What the heck is the point of having bump day, if the following day you can just buy yourself in anyway? So basically, RHR is a ride buyer for the 500 this year. |

I was in the Hall of Fame museum today (what a collection of winning cars!), when who wonders in to have a look at the Clark Lotus? Dario Franchitti...
my attention though was later taken away though when the "Indiana Dairy Princess" entered the room |

On the race, I think that will emerge the usual big names... but be careful, the history of Indy tells us that everything is unpredictable, even last year if the race was finished under the green an outsider would probably have won...Tagliani and Servia are in the front row and this is not so much a surprise, because they were fast for the entire week, as well as Carpenter (which I expect to make a good race)... the same for Meira...if I have to make a surprise name that will make a good race, I say Baguette...howeve,r I expect first wild laps like last year...

Dragon will be at Tejas with Tracy. They still have the car that Paul drove at Long Beach that was not crashed at Indy.

The xfactor. The new re-start. Don't forget it. Hope no one gets run over.
You think anyone in the seat is asking "how do I do that"? |

I think they've taken a pansy approach to the three wide starts with the leader guaranteed to lead the first lap, and the failure to throw the yellow when the guys don't line up. The drivers seem more worried about giving up inches of track position behind them rather than being closer to the car in front.
As far as the two-wide restarts go, good for the show, and the drivers for the most part have the skill to handle them with ease, it's just whether or not they have the desire to handle it. Chris |

I've been enjoying the Indy 500s on ESPN Classic this week. Too many to watch, but makes excited about the coming race and a little bummed that "it ain't what it used to be."

That was a very raged start, Dixon clearly had the advantage.

Who would have thought it. What a finish, makes up for Monaco. Feel so sorry for Hilderbrand; turn 4.
Congratulations Dan Wheldon and Bryan Herta. |
