Indy

[The Ruptured Duck]

Anyone else excited about Indy this year?

There is definitly reason to be interested, there are so many story lines this year.

1-Danica Patrick-23 year old hot chick driving for Rahal/Letterman who nearly won the pole position.

2-Buddy Rice-Will not be competing due to a concussion suffered in a rear-end practice crash.  Ironically, the driver who he replaced at the end of 2003 will be taking his seat for the 500-Kenny Brack.

3-33?-Will there be 33 this year?  

4-Champ Car- Bruno Junquera and Sebastian Bourdais being the only CCWS drivers in the 500 have not qualified well.  Will they do better in the race?

5-Stopping the drivers from being ameture aviators- Who will be next to take to the sky this year.  In the past 3 years, Hornish has flipped, Rice has rolled, Brack has caught fence, Wheldon ended up on his back, Mario Andretti found out why he quit racing, and Tony Renna's life was taken.  This has been a bad habbit for the IRL.
