Auto racing 2011

The Biffal spoiled the All-star race for me when he put Kasey in the wall. I'm not a big Biff fan, so that just jelled my opinion.

If that had been any other drivers involved they would have made a big deal of it, but I noted they down played this one to the hilt.

Nascar is saying that there wasn't anything in the grassy area that caused the damage that Edwards got on his car. The media guys were saying he must have hit a manhole or something. Nascar says it is just grass and dirt no manholes. Its pretty bad when the most exciting part of the race is the victory race car demolition by Edwards.

I wonder if things would have been different if they ran the Indy 499.7?

I screamed I was so surprised at the end of the race.

How the heck did that happen? I thought when he hit the wall and it brought out the caution, the race order stopped. So he was still in the lead but the other driver passed him after the caution and won?????

Twice in one day?

I don't know Indy car rules, but in NASCAR, when the caution comes out, the field is frozen, HOWEVER, you must maintain a reasonable speed. So, if you wreck and can't continue, or slow way down to where other cars pass you, you loose those potitions.



What a finish to the NASCAR race. Wow!

I believe officials were a few seconds late on the yellow flag,from
what others reported. I didn't know what "spotters" were before reading
their role in the race. This Sports report explains the race details.

I wonder how many US races the Aussies will win this year.
Maybe all of them.
We love enriching ourselves at the expense of your slow drivers

Wom,

When I first heard Ambrose being interviewed before a race, I really had to 'listen' to what he was saying.

Usually, the drivers drone on and on-that interview was actually entertaining.

I was hoping he'd throw in some 'Dundee-isms'!
