Indianapolis 500 - Follow Up


Well, I was pretty close to my predictions. Helio finished fourth, and he was my pick as winner. I did call Andretti's finish, I figured he would make top three. And, once again, the women struggled in the field. Danica did show some passion, and would have probably beat the crap out of Briscoe if she would have got the chance.

It was fun race. Dixon deserved the win, but the biggest surprise came from the Panther Racing squad. Vito Meira is, currently, the best racer yet to win a race.

Here's some good resources on the race.

Indianapolis 500

Well, it's that time of the year. Memorial weekend is a time for all Indianapolis residents to remember we like racing. Especially, Indy cars.

Here's my picks: I feel that experience is tough to beat. Helio Castroneves will come away with the win. Andretti will finish in the top 3 and push Helio for the victory.

It's my feeling, but the women will suck this year. The best performance will come from Milka because she'll be the only one to finish.

The excitement will come from seeing old names turn into Indy flames. Marco Andretti, Graham Rahal, and AJ Foyt IV all show their lineage this year.

My favorite racer this year is Will Power. How can you not like the guy?

My least favorite is Danica Patrick. Unless she's in a bikini serving my beer. Okay, okay...that's sexist, I know. But I FEEL that she's a gimmick.
