Well, I don't really agree that the old days were any better in this regard, but it is a shame to see guys like Oriol without rides.

FAZZT closing is only a rumor at this point, so hopefully the team can stick around and continue their recent success.

I don't like the new Pole Day format.

I loved they fight all day for the pole, oooh blah blah blah is the #1, oooh Blah Blah knocked him off Pole!

now its ho hum ho hum but still kinda ok to watch battle for Top 9 & Top 24, and You will still have the Pole fight for #1 but will it have sort the same exciting feel?

Helio got buzzed on his way in by Dixon. On an unrelated note, what is up with the Andretti Autosport cars? They are all slow and TK just slurpee-ed his second car of the weekend in the Turn 1 wall.

On Saturday Danica was interviewed and threw her entire team under the bus for not having a good enough car for her talents. The fans apparently heard this over the loud speaker and booed her like crazy. Maybe, finally, Danica mania will start to wind down.

Glad to see Tags qualified so well. No one else is going to be able to beat Penske or Ganassi but Tags may be able to give them a run for their money.

If I remember right, the Andretti cars have been painfully slow for most of the year.

Sucks for Tony that he backed his second car into the wall this weekend. Wonder how many cars they bring since it takes so long to build one of these things.

AJ Foyt IV is being replaced by Jacques Lazier. Him and grandpa really need to avoid teaming up again in the future.

Basically what this means is IV wanted to make changes. Grampy said "no car's perfect it's the driver." Old man Foyt does this quite often and rarely lets the mechanics make changes to the cars to make them better off of driver input.

hey, can anyone clarify on Sarah Fishers comments about SFR not being guaranteed prize money for the team due to the 66 failing to quialify for the 500? I only caught just a bit of what she was talking about.

Sucks Tracy missed it, good to see Herta team get in with very little funding. And it looks like AJs driver switch really paid off.

Man that was sooo exciting!!!

I am Estatic that Saaverda got in, when he crashed in practice I was like noooo!

Then I was shocked Tracy & Howard took themself out of the race and just handed it to him lol

Hope Saaverda is ok, he's in hospital, and has to get another car. Rabbit would he be the 1st ever Double Duty driver in Indy 500 history?

And if Kanaan missed it he would of repalced #43 John Andretti, and John knew it as he stood with #11 team the entire time lol

I assume she meant they wouldn't get the prize money from the 66 which is obvious since they DNQ'd
