For a second I thought Marco died. Okay, I like to exaggerate.

With the points for the year where they are, I can just see Dario and Tony blocking for Danica to get her first win - NOT. Somehow, I don't see Dario sacrificing any points whatsoever to help Little Ms. Sunshine.

AGR goes three wide behind Danica, Barnhart doesn't see at thing wrong with it, average race speed is 76 mph. !! OK, since this is a road course race, pretty much 89% of the action is going to happen in the pits, so look for the short-filling, yellow-benefiting, circus-music festival in the pits. Once the pit stops are done, you can go out and mow the lawn until the next pit window. Z-z-z-z-z. Likewise after the last pit stops. You're just staying alert for yellows at that point. The leader after the last pit stop on a road/street race usually wins barring air strike. And remember what Goodyear says -- one thing to catch them, another thing to pass them.

This is one race where Danger Mouse has a real shot at a podium finish. And a contract renewal.

Danica? No. No reason, just no.
Helio? No. Next year, Yes. His string of bad luck will continue

1) Manning (He's hungry. Literally. Foyt pays minimum wage.)
2) Hornish (I hate to admit it, but let the flames begin. Just not a "Sam Fan.")
3) Dario (It's the year of the Dario. Accept it.)
4) Vitor (He's good at coming from behind.)
5) Ryan Hunter-Reay (Yeah, I went there, and what's the deal with the hyphenated last name?)
6) Scheckter (He needs a break, and so does Vision)
7) Quattro (ditto above)
8) Dixon (Sure, why not?)
9) Buddy Rice (He doesn't want to be upstaged by the new boy in town)
10) Scott Sharp (Sure, why not? I always get the two Scotts mixed up anyway)
