Nope, nobody is doing all 1100 miles this year
whee Still, the Indy 500 was exciting, Dankia Patrick being the first woman to lead the Indy 500, and she even came close to winning it
surprised .She had to drive conservative to save fuel though...
I felt a bit sorry for the winner though, Danika was getting more attention than he was.
1) Nobody can do the 1100 mile weekend due to timing constraints. They pushed back the Indy 500 start time making it IMPOSSIBLE to do all 1100 miles without being cloned.
2) Danica did her best, and it was her rookie attempt. There will be other years. Dale Jr. never won his first Daytona 500, now did he?
3) Danica sold the Indy 500 this year, Tony Kanaan even said it at the post-qualifying dinner that Danica would be more interesting than the race itself.
1) I know that. however, Major Ursa asked the question in the first post so I answered it.
2) You make it sould like I was overly dissapoined. Maybe the "....." and the end of the sentence threw you off. As much as people hoped she was going to win, there was little chance that she would pull it off, and I was well aware of that. However, it looked like she had a chance at the end. A very slim one, but a chance nontheless. But it's not that big a deal.
3) You're right. Danica was big news this year. However, I would be a little dissapointed if I won the Indy 500 and the driver who finished 4th was getting the lion's share of attention (Just a little though, since I would have just won the Indy 500)
