Scott Dixon won the Indy 500 as I am sure some of you know. I know a day late and a dollar short. hehe. I have been so busy this month and I am glad it's OVER.

So Dixon won and I have to say it is on the of first times I have seen emotion from him, which was nice becuase I was worried. hehe.

I was so bummed when Sarah fisher crashed out though. She had worked so hard to get in the show and make ends meet when her sponsor failed to pay up at the first of the month. I hope she can work hard a pull it together to make a full-time ride for next season. And I hope this does not affect her chances at running a few more IndyCar races this year.

Marty crashing out was not a surprise for me - I mean I love the "Canadian Dream' - that is what we call him at work. But he has had trouble all month for some reason, though he had a strong qualification run in Kansas (the race before the 500).

Lloyd wreck was kind of scary with him sliding into pit lane - I mean if some one was not playing attention they could have gotten hurt, but luckily no one did. The one causality was the Timing and Scoring cones. The poor timing and scoring people - they lost both set so cones, the ones at Pit in where take down my Lloyd. The pit out cones got ran over by Danica.

Speaking of Danica! She cracks me up. I mean she had every reason to be up set but to take off walking down pit lane after Briscoe. So much Drama. I guess Penske told Briscoe to put his visor Down, Danica was coming to punch him. hehe, of course that is hear say but I can see him saying that.

All in all a good race - Vitor coming in 2nd was awesome but I really wanted him to win, becuase he has never won an IndyCar race, but he has come close so many time. And Andretti fails to get the won again. I am not much for curses but they just have some bad luck at Indy. I meam Marco was also sort of involved in the wreck that took out Kanaan and Fisher. But he did apologize to Kanaan.

So I am off to Milwaukee tomorrow to see if Dixon has any momentum coming out of Indy. Personally I ams still pulling for Vitor.
