Running Indianapolis 500 thread

Thought Judd's postrace interview was fine. She actually knows racing. I remember when Franchitti won at Milwaukee a few years ago and she was interviewed. Went through the strategy that got him to the front as if she'd come up with it.
Only problem with Judd is that she and her hubby, tailed by Curt Cavin, didn't walk up the other side of the cavernous press center.
Only problem with Arute was that his questions with Franchitti were too long.
Heck of a race. If they could arrange for dark clouds to loom all day and not bring rain, it would be a 200-lap trophy dash. As it was, Franchitti was the lucky one, needing to pit after the delay because of the cut tire. If he doesn't, Dixon, also in at that time because he was low on fuel, is the winner. Unless Lazier doesn't crash out and create the Kanaan spin, and we go past lap 177, when Franchitti (and probably Dixon) would need to pit. Quite the crapshoot.

Kanaan got Franchitti and good tonight. At the awards ceremony, with Franchitti wearing a tres expensive suit, Kanaan dumped a cream pie on top of Franchitti's head while the winner was at the mike getting the million dollar plus check.

Ashley didn't look bad either in the audience decked out in a revealing dress that made her look as good dry tonight as she did wet Sunday night.

Just in case anyone thinks Kanaan was being bitter, Franchitti told ABC during the rain delay that the AGR drivers would pull some good-natured prank on Kanaan if he had won.

And Crimsonace, you're right that AGR as a team has been successful, but Kanaan personally seems cursed.
