Congrats to...
Helio Castroneves and Team Penske on winning the Indy 500!! This was Helio's 3rd and Roger's 15th Indy 500!! I was glad that Castroneves climbed the fence, even if race officials were trying to keep him from doing so!! A 3rd place for Danica! She may just pull it off one of these years. The King and John Andretti scored a 19th, although I was really hoping for a top 10! And Vitor Meira is crazy!! Suffers burns on his face and yet continues, ending up in a viscious wreck later on in the race.

Great job by the whole Penske team. Would have had the 1-2 finish if Briscoe wouldn't have had to have pitted. Either way, seems as if you always have to contend with Penske to win at Indy.

I'm far from being a doctor, but Meira broke two vertebra in his lower back and not even a surgery? Just a brace and a few days in the hospital....

I was so happy with Penske getting another win. I always go to the race and I sit in turn 3 and I just have to say, it was a packed track! I was very happy to see the turn out for the greatest race in the world. I do have to mention that Danny Wheldon had a great race finishing 2nd, and that Danica is the biggest blocker I have ever seen! Has anyone here noticed that? I have nothing against her but I usually go to 4 IRL races a year, and every race she gets in front out of the pits and blocks faster drivers. On another note, Sarah Fisher had a good race and I was happy to see that, and does anyone know why Ryan Brisco pit with about 20 laps to go? Was he short on fuel? Either way, it was a great race.
Back collecting full time! Always looking for Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki, and Larry Bird autos/gu/etc.

yeah he was short on fuel-Penske short filled him on the stop before so him and Helio could team up.
