I've heard of this stuff, It looks well good. Didn't Nigel Mansell used to do it?
I'm more into Formula 1 at the moment, although the 2005 f1 grand prix in Indianapolis really didn't do very well for the sport.
I blame Michelin!

i wonder what happens when you poke him with a needle? I dont really watch that, but I love explosions and crashes, and i really love crashes that result in explosions! And I REALLY REALLY love explosions that result into multiple crashes, which lead to explosions, which results in everyone soiling themselves. Except me.

6th: Dale Earnhardt Jr. #8
7th: Kyle Busch #5
8th: Carl Edwards #99
9th: Tony Stewart #20
10th: Kurt Busch #2
16th: Jeff Gordon #24 
This was the 13th Brickyard 400.
Winners:
1994: Jeff Gordon
1995: Earnhardt
1996: Jarrett
1997: Rudd
1998: Jeff Gordon (2)
1999: Jarrett (2)
2000: Labonte
2001: Jeff Gordon (3)
2002: Elliott
2003: Harvick
2004: Jeff Gordon (4)
2005: Stewart
2006: Johnson
The Record Top Speed for this course is 186MPH set by Casey Mears some time ago.
Jimmie Johnson drove well this race. He blew his tire early in the race but managaged to win in the end.
But still. The best driver this race really does have be Jeff Gordon. Early in the race he somehow broke his Splay Bar, which holds the outer shell of the car to the frame. So Jeff has to drive his shaky car to the pit stop where its worked on. By the time its fixed he is 3 LAPS BEHIND. Luckly a new rule set a while back allows him to pass the pace car when there is a caution. So while everyone is forced to drive slow he hauls ass around the course and joins the rear to be 2 Laps behind. Several more cautions later, he's Last place but on the same lap. He then manages to sneak his way into 16th of 43 cars. He passed people like 5x more than anyone else.
Didnt see any real crashes but I did see some spilt gasoline on pit road go up in flames. 2 Seconds later its put out with an extinguisher and smoke whafts everywhere. : ) |

Whoo Hoo!
Jenson Button won his first Grand Prix!
A British racing driver hasn't won a Grand Prix in ages!
Come on Alonso! Or Räikkönen!
