After a day spent in front of the TV -- three fantastic races.
Indy -- Kanaan and Franchitti back and forth in the early laps. Patrick
staying in the hunt and leading several laps legitimately (i.e. green flag
pass for the lead), her "best ever finish for a woman" being a fourth that
any of 28 other drivers would have been happy to have. Finally Wheldon
proving he, too, is the real deal with his fourth win. He's not going to be
under the radar so much any more.
Nextel -- Was it Mike Joy who said the repaved Charlotte had become a big
Bristol? Man, such car-banging, but the drivers just kept going anyway. Then
Jimmie J. wins on a pass -- only half a car length -- out of the final
corner.
F1 -- taped that one so I watched it last. Kimi's tire out-of-round,
Fernando pushing hard enough Kimi could not ease off which led to his
suspension failure on the last lap and Alonso wins #4. Wow. Renault,
Williams and McLaren are showing they are now the equal (or more) of Ferrari
and F1 is competitive again.
A day well spent! :-)
