Now that ol' AJ has dumped his bottom shelf Toyotas for Chevrolet by Cosworth does Fore! get faster or just hit the wall harder?

If he can keep grampy away from the chebbie with his pappies kwality tewls, he will be going faster when he hits it.

There is a certain Darwinian undertone to the whole affair. :gomer:

23 Ed Carpenter (20) 0.5800 25.0765 212.470 35 25.5704 208.366 48 D/T/F Pit


Now, we need to figure out if Fore! actually got any faster with a Chevvie or if they just plug gramp's car number into the time sheet.

Ugh, you're making my arteries harden just saying that.

With Danica sitting on the pole (insert joke here), will this be the week she finally wins one? I say no.

Patrick stays in the Top 10 until lap 56, aided by a lengthy yellow.

Mr. Ed is the last car still running.

AJ4 is still in 14th.

Mr. Ed mistakes the wall for his oat bucket on lap 67. Next stop, a visit to the glue factory, er... infield hospital.

You do know there is a Champ Car race going on right now, right? I haven't seen you comment on it yet this weekend, wasn't sure if you knew it was going on or not. ;)

Patrick stalls it during the yellow for Mr. Ed. Then re-enters the pits with gearbox complaints.

I'm sure that Harris said that Danica was showing great poise & maturity during her utter failure and humiliation at being in actuality just an average, run of the mill IRL driver !

Well, I should at least give AJ4 some credit for running the entire race without losing positions. Just think how bad it would look if he had gone backwards with a better engine.
