[Flavinha]

Well done Tim!!!

I hope Dan Wheldon win at least one of the two last races, so I can do well once this year...

[Alwaysfirst]

I should be shot for a performance like that! I was truly terrible........

[Tim Northcutt]

Wheldon could've won the race if he wouldn't have missed his pit box on the last stop....

It must be very frustrating for him to have come so close in various races that he could've won, only to suffer a problem that denied him the victories.

[Alwaysfirst]

It's certainly very frustrating for me as I keep picking him to win, he looks like doing it & then in that last 7 or 8 laps it all goes wrong & he ends up finishing way behind where he should be. If Wheldon had won every race that he's come so close at he would be the champion already. Damn reliability, tyres, etc..............
