Default 5/15 - 5/17 Race weekend RECAP

So who watched what? Post up race results of the different qualifiers and races this weekend.

If the race you want to report about has already been posted, now's your chance to play commentator (unbiased please!). Offer up any notable highlights and/or YouTube or Google Video replays (as embedded files please).

For those of you wanting to stay in the dark, DO NOT read this thread....if it works out, this should/would be a horrible spoiler thread for you lot.

With that, I have not watched anything this weekend....busy with a 3 year old b-day party, a wedding, and a 'honey-do' list.

Not really a race, but it was exciting to see Ryan Hunter-Reay bump Alex Tagliani by .0324 of a second, and seeing John Andretti make the field on his final qualifying run.

(Alex Tagliani has since replaced Bruno Junqueira in the lineup.)

That's total that Tagliani is going to replace Junqueira. I understand money is money, but even if you finish last your looking at $275,000+ I don't understand the willingness to give up a seat for money. Epic FAIL on Junqueira's part, giving up a seat in the INDY 500

I watched the Sprint All-Star race on Saturday night and it was some pretty good racing in the last 10 lap shootout. Tony Stewart passed Matt Kenseth with 1.5 laps to go to take home the $1,000,000 pay check and his first win as an owner.
