I know that the time is looming near and that Robby hasn't made any sort of announcement pertaining to the 500 . Any word about if he'll be there for one of the teams that hasn't named their driver yet ? Or , will he be doing the NAPCAR thing ?
chat was great because folks left all the misery out of the chatroom and just enjoyed it for what it was...entertainment...thats how it should be every week.
When Lazier got into Foyt's car and did a series of 224's and a couple of 225's I think PT and Howard got spooked. They also swallowed their own bait by believing that because they cranked off some 225's early in the day they could repeat, which historically, is very rare . What was really dumbfounding was that just prior to PT pulling his time off the board he went out and struggled to put together a clean 221+. Same for Howard.
Sunday proved once again that Indy can put a spell on drivers and owners to make unexplainable decisions.
Milka...geez. Her fastest lap all month was a 223.3 and it took a 223.7 average to get in. Like you said, she ran 222's in the morning and at 5:45pm she's going to pull four high 223's out of her ass? She nearly stuffed it on the warm up. Not raining on Duno; she brought the dollars, it's her ride. But it would have been a good sporting gesture to put another driver in and see if they could do something with it.
You think the Andretti crew is burning the midnight oil making DP happy or giving TK something he can drive on race day? I think DP will be lucky if someone bothers to clean her mirrors.
