Default Another win for Honda!

On Honda's home track, Dan Wheldon held serve.

It looked like Chevy might actually win a race, but they ran out of gas with just two laps to go. Dan Wheldon's car had the good sence to run out of gas after he crossed the finish line. I'm sure he didn't mind having to walk to the winner's circle.

That's 3 out of 4 for Andretti/Green this season!

Now... if we could just tip the scales in our favor in F1...

Oops... maybe that was the wrong way to put it?

put your money on Indy Cars and on Honda. After looking at the kind of money Honda is putting out to support the IRL in St Petersburg, BAR Honda wishes it had that kind of support.

At St Pete, the Toyotas were actually running faster laps. It was good driving and competitors mistakes that won it for Andretti Green. They're obviously the big boys on the block with a very well run organization.

The one to watch is Patrick. If she can keep her ride together, that girl can drive as smooth as anyone.

I saw the kind of online monitoring equipment those guys have, they knew exactly how much was left and that their chevy couldn't make it. That was a run for the money that made great press, but I have to believe they had already computed that they wouldn't make it and a fuel stop gave them no press.

On another subject......I wonder how you say AJ Foyt's an asshole in Japanese. \

Honda owns 40% of B.A.R, so I'd say they have a fair amount of Honda support..

HRD is fully in support of the team, with engineers in Japan and at Brackley working on the 007 and RA005e.

Agreed on Danica

Is it really a spoiler when the event was already on tv, not to be re-aired?

Would a news headline be a spoiler, too?
