If you haven't seen the race (and want to remain in suspense), don't read the following.
Pretty damn fine race. It was tough to be a leader all day long (Junquiera, Kanaan, & Scheckter), and almost afflicted Castroneves. But, like at the cinema, it's been Spiderman's year all along. And it's no different at the 500.
So, regardless of the CART vs. IRL running contention, this race proved to live up to the 500 pedigree. Scheckter especially impressed me. And so did Tracy. While it looked as if there may be some finish order controversy (possible passing under yellow), it looks like the finish order has been put to rest. Nevertheless, Tracy surprised me with his steely, calm demeanor.
Too bad for Hornish, though. This 2nd-year-in-row crash/smash could be foreboding for a 500 exercise in futility for him.
Enough of this...gotta run. Possibly the best racing day of the year - the GP of Monaco is on now.
