Vitor has GOT to win one of these freaking days!

Looks like Hunter Reay had the "Danica wiggle" in the pits What no one's gonna bash him for almost killing people?

Poor Helio - 1 more cup of fuel would have done it for him

If he does it three times, I'll start bashing.

It was a good race at the end, but i had a hard time staying awake in the middle (Tivo'd it and started it at 11:00PM). I think if Viso (I think) hadn't balked Marco he would have been 2nd.

I was sitting down by the start/finish line. I had a good time watching it. It was pretty entertaining watching andretti tango with everyone in the top 3 spots for the last half of the race. Helio came out of no where during the 3rd stops. I didn't have access to a radio to know that he was only doing a 2 stop. Nevertheless, it was one sweet finish!

At least it's HD:

On August 7, 2008, Versus announced a 10-year deal with the Indy Racing League to broadcast at least 13 IndyCar Series events a year in HD, beginning in 2009. Versus will also broadcast extensive pre-race coverage, a one-hour preview show the day before each race including qualifying highlights, qualifications for the Indianapolis 500, a Firestone Indy Lights weekly telecast, replays of all series races a week after original broadcast, and at least 10 hours of ancillary programming.

The network also broadcast various motorsports series on its Lucas Oil Motorsports Hour program such as USAC, ASA and Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

Versus is owed by Comcast, the biggest cable provider in the country. Versus is also on other cable providers service.

CNN is owned by Time Warner, which is also a major cable provider but it's on the other cable provider's service too.

Versus started life as the Outdoor Life Network and changed their name to OLN when they wanted to cover other sports than just outdoors. Then they were bought by Comcast and changed to Versus in an effort to compete with ESPN.

Don't count Versus out just yet. Remember, at one time, a little car company from Japan offered an alternative to the American automakers. Now Honda is one of the biggest automakers in the world.

Conway tests for Panther. Been following his career for a few years, he's alright. But not a top noch driver to be good in Europe. He should do good here. Hope panther fields 2 cars for infenion.
