    Just spotted Gene Simmons and his posse. He's chillin' with Carmelo Anthony. Don't know if their car will make it to 75 laps.

    Isn't Anthony hooked up with PDM? If so ... well, he could've chosen a better team.

    Annnnnd the hype is on, even before a real lap is run, with the lead announcer saying the butterfly wings are "as big as a 747," and Scott Goodyear calling Indy the toughest track in the world. Uhhh, no.

    Oops, so much for PJ Chesson.

    I'll bet Carmelo is disappointed.

    Everybody in the media center cracked up when the dude from ABC said the National Anthem lasted longer than P.J. Chesson's day.

    That was an excellent line

    I really don't like the ABC announcers very much. Even without Todd Harris (thankfully), everything is so breathless and dramatic. One of them gushed, "Great race" already.

    I hope it's not going to be like this for NASCAR, but it probably will be. (sigh)

    Marco Andretti makes a hand gesture toward Tomas Scheckter as he passes him at 220 mph. Welcome to the bigs, kid.

    Wheldon 14 second lead! Geez...

    Still, as we all know, that doesn't mean he's going to win it. Too long of a race.

    Hey Keystone, something flew into the grandstands when Scheckter crashed?

    EDIT: Wow, they just showed it, some of the wing flew up there. Yikes.

    Scheckter crashes at pit entrance.
    Everybody in the media center to the bathroom!

    A wing flew into the stands. No word yet.
