Anyone know who won the race? I saw lots of press this week, but could not figure out if someone won. I know Danica finished 12th. Anyone?

Onboard starters worked out great on the Panozes. Well, maybe with another iteration of development they'll work better.

When did Boy Wonder switch from calling her "Milk and Doughnuts" to "Charo?"

More IRL/ALMS doubleheaders sounds like a win-win for everyone, although until TV quits showing the two races against each other it won't reach its full potential.
The Mid-Ohio doubleheader has been enough to make me drive 500 miles each way the last two years to be there, even after ALMS moved my other can't miss race weekend (Lime Rock) to the weekend directly before it this year. Road America seems like a natural choice for another one since it had been a CCWS/ALMS doubleheader before.
I know it won't happen any time soon, but I'd love to see the Indy Cars join ALMS at Laguna Seca in the fall, too.

Mid Ohio only proves the point that the IRL needs a new car yesterday. They looked painfully slow when compared to the ALMS P1 cars and we won't even embarass them further by an F-1 comparison. AS far as Milka Duno goes she did fairly well in sports cars and maybe should return to them. Alot of people predicted that she wouldn't be up to the challenge, but if you get rid of all the seat fillers in the IRL you'd be back ot16 cars. She is better looking than Danica, at least that's something

Dude,why do you have to stand up for Danica "LOOK AT ME" Patrick all the time? All she does is drama,she should be sponsored by TNT. Can she ever just shut the [expletive] up and drive? She can drive..and she should do it more and ##### less.

You and Arute must have sold out body and soul to TG. How long are you going to give the little princess a free pass every time she acts like a pompous ass? Hardly anyone with a brain condones her act any longer, and consider her an embarassment every time she pulls that garbage. I guess TG's free buffets are more important than an honest report. Using the "Charo" comment is pretty repulsive as well. The woman has 4 Masters degrees and is a Naval Architect, who is also involved in a number of charities. What's the mediocre little diva done? Oh yeah, posed for a calendar and some other cheesy photographs. I'm curious why neither you or Arute saw the irony of the 20th faster driver (Daniboy)calling out the 26th fastest driver (Duno). That's like Oprah calling Rosy O'Donnell fat. But, I guess when Tony says to applaud her "greatness", the minions must do his bidding, huh?
