So far this is what I've scored for this weekend as an Indycar Champion member:
Congratulations! You will receive a FREE pit/garage credential for the Firestone 550 at Texas Motor Speedway.
Congratulations! You will receive a pre-race access for driver intros on Saturday, June 9
And I suspect there is more to come! ;D

Entertaining race tonight. There is no comparison with the ABC v. NBC coverage IMO. Loved the blocking penalty on Power. Rahal just couldn't hold on could he? Good to see driving again on an oval.

I loved last nights' race, I'm glad to see that helpless side by side big pack racing gone! It was never fun watching helpless race drivers going around the track......NOW they have control!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting race, I really enjoyed watching. I would say, Calvin, that some of the drivers were in control at least some of the time.
Take Care

What a weekend! This was my 15th Indycar race at TMS and besides all the great family stuff, we got a great race. We sat across from the far end of the pits and could watch both Dixon and Rahal keep getting closer and closer to the wall before shooting onto the front straight. The best thing about TMS to me, is being able to watch the cars all the way arounf the track. The passing was awsome! We were pulling for TK, but it sure seemed the Ganassi boys had 'em covered. That is, until that 4th turn wall bit 'em!
On another note, the Fort Worth paper says Bernard wants higher sanctioning fees and that the planned Houston race was "a slap in the face of TMS." The crowd was announced at 69,000 but I know I've seen 100,00+ there before. Also, after being at Sebring and Indy, the crowd seemed very young to me. I certainly hope that the race continues, because I believe that it is creating new fans for Indycar. Like my sons, I kept hearing "man! they're so much faster than Nascar!" all around me...
Change comes slowly, but it always comes...

That was real, driver controlled, racing on Saturday night. It's a great place! Based on Saturday's race, MORE OVALS and less DETROIT.
Not wishing Dario any bad luck but it was clear that Ashley retired to the motor home early on. There was no need of her theatrics.
The penalty on Will Power was more than justified. I wonder what he said to TK.

I wonder what he said to TK. Both split for the trailor as soon as he got out of the car. He or Ashley never want to talk unless a driver dissed her husband on the track or wins. Looks like she didn't tell Hull how to set up his car like she did for Indy. I can't stand either one of them. As a long time fan of Penske I loved Beaux giving Power the McDonalds tour. Will doesn't need to do that crap to win races. Stupid move. Roger wanted Detroit b/c he knows Power is strong on SC & Chevrolet. Dixon is driving his best, his shunt Sat. is most uncharacteristic. He will steal the CS from Will...with Will's help doing stupid crap. Loved the DF rule. It's what Indycar needed. |

Us old guys would rather watch the race on TV instead of face the heat. They need to move the race to just before Indy so the weather would be perfect. |
