Milka Spins!

Too bad she collected Ryan Briscoe. Only 5 cars on the lead lap. Marco at the front...back to green at lap 142!

WTF? I don't believe that any organization would actually throw the green flag with a broken car leading the pack. Unbelieviable! :confused:

Too bad Tony Kanaan got caught up by a lapper. Couple of guys in there I've never heard of. He did a good job of avoiding what could have been a much bigger crash.

Congrats to Scott Dixon. Good run by Dan Wheldon, but he's not one of my better liked drivers.

Well, it wasn't Champ Car but I guess that's all we get? It was cool to see a full grid and I'm hoping next week's race from st. Pete will show some more excitement?

I was very surprised that Barnhart didn't call Kanaan in. I really do hope that Cotman will take over Race Control. I'm not sure it'll happen but it would make me feel better. It did help that Kanaan pulled it low or it would have been messier. The start wasn't exactly great either.

That said, I look forward to seeing the CC heritage teams being closer to the front on the road/street courses and being able to get some heavy testing/practice at Indy. The traffic did provide some pretty good passing chances that would not have happened otherwise in a 17 or 18 car field.
