Yes, how will she handle being on pole?

How many poles do you think Danica will be on during the rest of her career?

Do you think being on pole helps her confidence?

I can go on all day...

Of the top 10 cars coming into turn 3 on the final lap, only about 3 of them made it to the finish line. Buescher was 11th at the time.

Now that was a shock. I thought Smoke had that in the bag after backing off the lap before to get the run on the outside, then Kurt moved up on Joey...

Fair play to Buescher though, you've gotta be in it to win it!

Interesting listening to the commentators before the race talking about Danica & the way she spoke to Cole Whitt after Daytona - i see he is up there in points after 2 races...

ROAD AMERICA

I reckon we can revive this thread with a certain fan of a certain driver on hiatus.

The Sargento 200 Race Page from Jayski

Fellows, Piquet Jr, Mad Max, Jackie V, and some others non-regulars have entered.

Eric McClure is back behind the wheel this weekend after his scary crash at Talladega; good to hear.

Should be a good show or a train wreck...either way, I'll be watching.

Looks like rain is heading for Road America judging from the Grand Am coverage. Will they run on rain tyres?

Yes, they do have rain tires and wipers this weekend and will use them if needed.


Sorry, that question already answered...Johnny Come Lately here.

Looking forward to it! Rain looks like it has moved on, ATM.

It was a good race with people trying to balance the brakes. Great performance from Piquet. Fellows was his usual consistent self. I was thinking Villeneuve was a bit too quiet during the race. Papis was racey. As for Danica, she blossomed. I would've liked to have seen Kurt Busch in the mix towards the end. Boxer Busch versus torpedo Jacques would've made for an explosive finish.

Some of these road ringers should really be at Sonoma.

Even Juan Pablo Montoya said last year he would rather be at Road America than Sonoma for the Cup race. The National Park of Speed is addicting to both fans and drivers, including me, who will be back here for the ALMS in August.

That he is, i dont understand why he needs to wreck people on the final lap when running 5th or 6th. I could understand it if he was gunning for a win... Heard he was running V8 Supercar at Townsville round - he will be nowhere!

Danica did okay, but in all honesty the battle between her and Papis led to her eventual demise. Had she been content to follow Max, their lap times would have improved, and teh train of Villaneuve/Hornish/Scott/Busch wouldn't have caught them, and as a result, she wouldn't have been punted out of the way.

Controversy was the honest truth, too bad that Villeneuve poking Danica.
