And A Race It Was

That was a great race! Before the race, in practice Danica Patrick and Vitor Meira collided while entering the pits. They both got their cars fixed before the race and even though changing engines they held their possitions on the grid. Some problems on pit lane, its a very bumpy pit entrance and exit at kentucky speedway and a few people had trouble with that. First we had Ed Carpenter spin out on pit exit and then we had Marco Andretti was too high on pit entrance and drove into the grass and Scott Sharp spun out at the same place Marco had his problem. Only one crash during the race and that was Kosuke Matsuura which lost the tail end while running high in turn 3 and ended up damaging the soft wall, which then took 15 laps under full course caution to fix. So in the end it was a great race with Hornish in first, Dixon in second, and Castroneves in 3rd. Danica Patrick broke the top 10 and finished in 8th. While Sarah Fisher didn't have too good of a race with 12th... just not her day. Marco too had a shitty day finishing in 17th with only 2 laps led, disappointing race for him today. This was quite the race, and hope that its online soon so Sir Yannick can see it from a point of view other then bullet cam. For todays Daily Check we have the almighty PistonHeads:) Enjoy, Bye!
