Mutt: Actually I am still complaining about the loss of Mich and the second race at Texas. But you are right in just not watch. I have not missed a lap (on tv) for years, but probably I can miss a few road courses and be OK.

mmm Bubba Burgers!

We should make them the Offical burger of IRL fans.

I hope you are saving all of these recaps so you can publish them in a few years as "IRL historical data" after Napcar finally drives the last fan from the stands and they come over and want to learn about the days of Blendification racing.

Would you people quit complaining about the damned road races. They added races, and we only lost Nashville. I can tell you from personal experience we lost NOTHING in losing this race. I went this year, and it was more boring with less passing than some road courses. If you don't want to watch the roads then don't watch them...it's simple....instead of watching them and complaining about how boring they are...don't watch them, and go do something you DO find exciting. Which incidentily...I'll add...nashville IS NOT exciting...you all sound just as bad as the crapwagon.com crowd.

Wait a minute. I resent the comparison to EJ Viso. I did not hit the wall, I did not hit anyone else and I did not drive through the grass...well strike that last one. I did get us home a heck of a lot faster than Milka...at least I thin I did but I Duno for sure. According to Mark that never gets old.

Awesome! Now I know I can get Bubba Burgers up north if I ever need them.

MMAck:

Your best live blog so far. I enjoyed reading it thoroughly and likened your experience to many that I have had at IMS.

As for the race, my wife and I were watching on the flat screen from our screened porch, and, because of the heat/humidity conditions here in Myrtle Beach, without having to deal with Marty Reid. (Hell, NO SOUND is somewhat better than Marty Reid.)

In the meantime, we were flipping off during the "side-by-side" marathons to the Carolina Panthers/San Diego Chargers game, which was just as good a finish.

We weren't too terribly concerned about the race finish, since it was obvious that no one was going to punt Scott Dixon into the wall, even Helio's teammate, therefore taking away any opportunity that Helio was going to dance his way to the title.

I have to confess, though. I was looking for a bridge from which to jump when Milka was posted in P1. Fortunately, she didn't take anyone out on her way backwards.

After watching the last two races, someone tell me why we are getting more road courses next year. Why? Why? Why?

sorry i missed you. I was busy urinating myself when Wheldon, Briscoe and Helio went three-wide for about 12 laps like something out of the Joi Chitwood Thrill Show. Milkalicious! As Jeff noted, she led more laps than Danica this year. BAAAAAAAAAA.
