Cars 7 and 18 did not make a qualification attempt.

I wonder why AGR couldn't put the Princess in a backup car to qualify after she stuffed it in practice? Mikey cheaping out on the IRL program and banking more of the Honda ¥en this season? Or isn't the Princess Permapout that important any more?

NHL ins't getting the oval thing going.

[Don Quixote]

Let me guess, is this a high banked momentum racing track where the little aero doo-dads outweigh the driver skill?

Yes. How else would these four :tony:'s be faster than Wilson? :yuck:

Hmmmmm... almost all of the "transisiton" teams are struggling except for KVR.
You think KK got some extra little aero bits from TG as part of his "merge"?

Servia has been faster all season on the road courses too.

Whose idea was it to start this race at 6:30pm when I'm napping on the couch digesting too much grilled tuna and fried rice?

Tuned into the radio and caught the last few eggciting minutes of fuel conservation drama. Helio gets his 7th 2nd place of the season?!!! Penske's gonna Sneva his skinny @$$ pretty soon for nonperformance (in the race car, silly!)
