Wonder what Scott was thinking when he spun under caution. "Oh God I'm such
a menace!" Target team prickness at its finest, it starts at the top with
that fat bastard Chip.

Well, I would rather watch F1 on Fox for sure but since they didn't
overlap.... the IRL race starter 30 minutes after on ABC.

But Fox had way too many commercials than Speed. My commercial-skip button
got a workout.

F2 did overlap but it was a much better race than WG.

Oops. I am going to assume ABC delayed the WG race here on the west coast
because it started at 12:30 PM here, 30 minutes after the FOX F1 show ended.

Here in the central time zone it started at 2:30, 30 minutes after Fox's
tape delay of the F1 race. Indycar was shown live on ABC. I'm sure of it
because I was also watching timing and scoring on the Internet. It's been a
blessing in disguise having the F1 races on Fox in HD. The picture is great
but the 6 hour tape delay kills the timing and scoring from the Internet.
If I had to take one over the other I'd take the HD. Does SPEED show the F1
races in HD? Our cable co. doesn't carry SPEED HD.

Maybe she saw Briscoe and was aiming for him?

Sure were a lot of spinouts though.

Spinning and crashing in the pits is a much worse offense than
spinning on the protected environment of the course. Everyone on the
course is ready for an accident, even if it happens under caution. The
people in the pits are not usually expecting anything to happen, much
less someone crashing into the pit wall, although that is the purpose
of the wall and she proved its need.

BTW, wasn't this exactly what she was whining about Briscoe? Losing
control leaving the pit stall...

This was worse. Briscoe swung out wide as he was leaving his pit, at
a point where the tires are usually spinning and the driver has to
hang on. You see a lot of drivers squirt out a bit wide, then rein it
in.

Danica spun well after she had left her pit, as she was accelerating
down the lane.

Maybe this was normal, but it appeared she drove through many pit spaces
before she spun. I'm used to seeing a car drive across the pit in front of
them (if no one is in it) on the way out, but she looked to cross four or
five in that particular case.
