10 mph off the pace... :rolleyes:
:saywhat:

Marco better watch out or he might get Junqueira'd...

[Sean O'Gorman]

I guess the special engine doesn't work out quite as well on the road course. :saywhat:

[devilmaster]

Genoa Racing

let me guess....

This team is the profit the deli man made on AJ's sammiches?

[Jervis Tetch 1]

:laugh:

[racer2c]

Marco has pole? Whodda thunk. :gomer:

[theunions]

Connor subsequently trashed his car big time and the team withdrew, so Ed is now starting DFL.

Speaking of USGP futility...was I the only one who found it hilarious watching Kyle Krisiloff, who's spent many a year pimping the USGP, committed to spending USGP weekend racing ARCA cars at Michigan and battling for a top five spot against Ken Weaver? :rofl:

Connor reportedly got clobbered by Arie Jr., causing him to flip.

Arie, Jr. survives quals at Indy only to jeopardize another driver in the subsequent MIPS farce.

I can't wait for the photos to show up.

A horse is a horse unless, of course, it's the famous Mr. Ed!
