Who brings out first caution...

[Andrew Longman]

...for contact with the wall?

Does he/she take anyone with him/her?

Me?

Hornish tries to lap Chesson on lap 12 and they both hit the wall.

[Wheel-Nut]

I say Hornish is first to tag a wall.

[trauma1]

take your pick, you can't go wrong with any of these :rofl:

[Chitowncartfreak]

All 33 - same corner, same lap.

[Accipiter]

Cheever wipes out the back of the field, and blames it on someone else.

[IlliniRacer]

How can you NOT pick LarryBoy? Its it truly an IRL race with out hear "The Yellow is out! Looks like ______ Foyt has made contact in Turn ___."

[TKGAngel]

Cheever wipes out the back of the field, and blames it on someone else.

I'm thinking Marco Andretti and Cheever, in Turn 4.

What's the over/under on hearing "And Andretti slows on the backstretch?" on Sunday?

[pchall]

The Princess, if she actually tries to drive in traffic.

[rabbit]

It'll come from the Chesson-Foyt-Cheever-Luyendyk cluster.

[EDwardo]

Electrical, transmission, handling, engine, tire, driver illness, dirty air, wall.....

did I miss any?

[Racing Truth]

Just a thought:

Scott Sharp is showing speed. Scott Sharp was quick in '01

Not suggesting anything here.

:D

[Spicoli]

It'll come from the Chesson-Foyt-Cheever-Luyendyk cluster.


:rofl:

cluster ****, eh? ;)

[cart7]

Depends on how they run that pace lap. If they get way strung out like a few years ago where everyone was virtually single file and P1 was going through T1 as the last row was still going through 4, then I'd say someone will lose it due to their sheer excitement coupled with wankerness.

Arie Jr. will run into someone.
Larry Foyt will spin himself out.
The Andretti's will pull the Cheever split ala 1992. Age and inexperience on the part of the 2 Andretti's will foil the move.
Danicle hits someone during her early charge to the rear.

[rabbit]

:rofl:

cluster ****, eh? ;)Or, as TK would say, a "fuster cluck." :)

[Michaelhatesfans]

First caution comes from me. Don't watch that ****.

[Fio1]

Arie jr when he gets lapped on lap 7.

[L1P1]

It'll come from the Chesson-Foyt-Cheever-Luyendyk cluster.

Throw in another Foyt, and if it happens, I'll buy you a beer. No, wait. I'll buy you a keg.

[race chica]

father/son turn 3 lap 17 (or any lap ending in 7).

I dont know why, just had a dream about it last night.

And the winner is....

PJ Chesson! So much for the new sensation. :gomer:

I'm watching Monaco, and have this Mindy thing on in PIP. I just flipped it over when I saw the wreck and I thought they said Chesson started it. Yes, Bucknumbnuts started it. Bummer. :gomer: ;)

[Cam]

Stoopid commentry team haven't even said which wanker was the one that actually spun! :shakehead

[rabbit]

Bucknum spun all by himself and collected PJ on his way to the wall.

[rabbit]

Nice save, Marco. :eek:

[cart7]

Marco's all over the place.

Uh oh, looks like a piece of debris went up into the stands. Hope no ones hurt seriously.

I'm pretty well convinced that Bucknum's wreck at Road Atlanta last year scrambled his brain.

[rabbit]

Eight cars left on lead lap... all eight are former CART/Champ Car drivers or teams. :shakehead

[Stu]

I must have missed something.

At one point in the 2nd half of the race, Danica pitted and as she left the caution came out.

One of the announcers said she would be a lap down, but when everything shook out, she was still on the lead lap. What happened there? How could she have not been a lap down after that caution came out?

All the leaders pitted, which left her among the cars behind the pace car but ahead of the eventual leader. The IRL apparently has a rule that allows everyone in that position to go by the pace car and rejoin at the rear of the field.

The pace of some of those backmarkers was incredibly slow. This is the first year I can recall in a long time that there were that many cars on the track that were merely moving chicanes.

[TKGAngel]

It also didn't look like it was a good day to be in the pits. One of Simmons guys was hit and Sammy Ho almost burned his pit down. I'm amazed that he managed to come back from a drive thru penalty and win the race.

Penske took the blame for the pit incident. He said he thought the fueler was clear and told Sam to go, but the nozzle got hung up as the fueler tried to take it out.

[Rogue Leader]

In fairness to Chesson, that was all Bucknum.

Bend it like Bucknum?? :gomer:

[oddlycalm]

I'm amazed that he managed to come back from a drive thru penalty and win the race. No problem in the Yellow Flag Racing League.... :cool: :thumbup:

They really do need a name for a FCY where someone manages to wreck during the caution laps. How about Compound Yellow ? Gomer :gomer: Yellow ? Tooth Fairy Yellow ?

8th place...twice as good as last year. :gomer:

Sam is still The Sham. :saywhat:

That said, and perhaps thanks to Barnhart, there wasn't quite as much wankerdom as I thought.

It actually makes a bit of sense. That way the back markers are in the back and the lead car is behind the pace car. While it artifically give people a lap back, it also avoids the leaders having to artificially pass a clump of backmarkers just because a yellow came out.

Pick your poison.
