Full respect to Danica, she drove an impressive race. But today was Dans day. The guy is a phenom and i can only see more great things for him.

Danica has big things coming to her if she keeps driving like she did today.
Is anyone else angry at the Foyt Family? None of those guys should be in a race car. This is the third race that dumb imbread kid has caused trouble during a race. He could have killed Bruno Junquera today. Seriously, get him and that shitwagon off the track

i don't know about that, but she did pretty well for a rookie. she did have two MAJOR mistakes, and one that caused a pretty big crash. she did lead 9% of the race though

Rookies make mistakes. I was only glad she didn't pull a Dan Wheldon (how ironic under the circumstances) and hit the wall, and flip upside down(as he did in '02).
I am very happy that none of the cars took skyward this year during the race.
Has anyone heared about Bruno Junquera? That damn Foyt boy sent him into the wall pretty darn tootin' hard

i have heard that he was ok from one news report i read, but nothing more than that. They didnt say if there was anything more than that. He's lucky they have the new barriers, or he could be missing two ankles and feet.
Dan wheldon might have to choose between a seat in an F1 car or an indy car next year. Now smart money says he should stick with IRL for another season, however Scott Dixon made that mistake and his season is wasting away, while the guy who got his williams seat nick Hiedfeld is actually looking like winning a race or two

Ah well, could be a spare seat at BAR next year (Davidson might plonk straight in there though if he has the backing). Sauber theoretically may have one too, once they drop Mr V...

BAR is most likely, with the whole Honda Engine tie in. But then again DC might retire this year so red bull coul also have a seat.

that sucks. Your right something needs to be done about Foyt.

One of the clauses in Button's contract is that if by some point in August, he has not scored 70% of the number of points of the Championship leader, he is free to leave.
There are a few more though...

its safe to say after this season Button will want out, first the cheating accusations which will stick with him, whether he knew or not. then the poor form from the BAR Honda.
