IRL

So I guess the IRL wants to be like NASCAR eh? For some dumbass reason they decided to try the old white/green flag deal and unfortunately the yellow light stayed on. The move made the league look more amateurish than normal and was dangerous as well with the some cars heeding the light and some the flag.

In what was a pretty good race until the end, Dan Wheldon claimed his second win of the season, but he was certainly not the fastest car out there. That claim had to belong to Julio who was chasing Wheldon down , but due to some good pit strategy, Weldon would not be headed. Horny was fast this weekend too, but an altercation with Wreckter took him out of consideration when his car stalled after spinning.

The end of the race was a joke. With Wheldon leading and Julio getting the jump on the last lap as they went green, the yellow lights on the track stayed on. Brian Barnhart said they had to leave it as yellow, so Vitor Meira picked up third place.

Dario Judd had a solid run, but finished off the pace with car problems. AJIV actually managed to soldier home in 11th.

All in all it was a pretty good race until the end. The crowd pretty much sucked again and there was no announcement form Roger or FTRG regarding any unification of the IRL and OWRS.


NASCAR/F1

You are reading it here first. Jeff Gordon will be in the Williams BMW car next season. His dominating performance in yesterdays race at Infineon has led me to believe it.
