Simmons - RPG - Coke 600

Simmons - RPG - Coke 600

Here is my guesses on the top five in no order...

Biffle
Kahne
Busch, Ku
Earnhardt
Johnson

I'm really struggling with David Ragan. My gut tells me he should be on the
list, but my mind sez he doesn't have the experience to run all 600 miles.
Undoubtedly, I will kick myself.

Bonus Indy pick will be Castroneves to win!

Have a great Memorial Day weekend and God bless those who have served and
are currently serving this great nation. Let us remember always those who
have made the supreme sacrifice so that we may enjoy our freedom.

Semper Fi!

LOL. He's lucky track security was on the ball, or he'd likely
have been on the receiving end of fisticuffs.

I was kind of surprised to see it took that long for somebody to get
out to her. I was sitting here 1800 miles away, and just by the way
she was walking, I was thinking "Somebody better go stop her"...

take care,
Scott

"Danica Patrick failed to finish for the first time in four trips to
Indy, though it wasn't her fault."

IMHO after analyzing my own accidents and being the guy who called
yellows @ Homestead for a while I disagree with this analysis (even
though Michael Andretti started it in his interview). I've spent a bit
of time on the water and have a little knowledge of Admiralty law. In
their opinion almost always both captains are at fault in a collision.
In Danica's case she should take at least 5-10% blame as she saw it
coming and did not move out of the way even though she had at least a
foot or so clearance from the wall. Yes it was mostly his fault. but
if she wants to win races and not just pout like a little girl then I
hope she learns something from the incident.

Too bad too because I am rooting for her. If she were to win the Indy
500 it would be a huge draw. As it is now I am now remotely
considering going to another 500. For the last few years I would only
watch it if it was convenient whereas before the split I would not
miss it for the world.

I dunno, it's pretty hard to see any way Danica is at fault to
any degree. You can't fault her for not predicting Briscoe
would suddenly move out a lane - basically a rookie mistake on
Briscoe's part (altho he's not a rookie). Certainly the way
Briscoe moved over it wouldn't have made much difference if
Patrick was a foot closer to the outer wall.
