    Remember this is the track Champ bailed on at the last minute with fans in the stands. Getting dizzy running 20 mph faster than these guys. High banks, high speeds, rookies. Be interesting if I can stay awake, long day.

    I see Milka's 27th. She's done better. Too many G's on the funbags pulling her up on the high line.

    I was in the pits for qualifying yesterday. Danica walked past me only a few feet away...

    She's as good looking in person, I think better, than pictures/tv.

    Michael, thank you for this commentary. Wasn't feeling good today, but you made me laugh so hard I sprayed Grey Goose all over my monitor.

    So...3 races in a row, Marco Andretti has crashed or taken-out team mates (Indy 500- he took at TK) and last 2 races he's taken himself out.

    In 3 races he's wrecked 6 cars (2 of his own). I think the other drivers are starting to get pissed!

    I just saw him interview after the Texas race, and blame everyone but himself.

    Sad :(

    I was there. This time wasn't his fault.

    Good show, actually. Got a bit boring in the middle but worth the ticket

    Race looked great! Must have been fantastic to be there!

    On TV they re-played it a few times and I changed my mind. At first it looked like it wasn't his fault, but if you watch it a few times...you can see he was pushing the other driver down when they crashed.

    Just starting to look like a pattern with Marco

    You've really got to hand it to those guys (and gals). When they bunch up the field after a yellow, it's HORRIBLY dangerous out there at 210+ MPH. It's amazing that there aren't more serious, serious accidents under those circumstances.

    Like father like son.

    This kid has had the perfect role model on how to act like a complete p*ssy when things don't go exactly his way and blame everyone but himself.

    I don't think this kid is all that. He has just been handed every advantage and opportunity.

    Eventually the circus monkey gets the trick, but there is not much skill involved.
