Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well the race day is over. There was some fun though. Here are the stories (in a nutshell) of the two great races, The Indianapolis 500 ans the Coca-Cola 600.

Indianapolis 500 (at Indianapolis Motor Speedway)

Scott Dixon stared the race and finished the race in 1st place. There were some challengers towards the end but Dixon prevailed. But the biggest story was Danka Patrick. She has some ups and downs. But she would have her first DNF in the four tries at this race. It turns out that the newest Penskie driver clipped her in the pits causing her suspension to break. She would be so angry that she tried to confront the driver. But security and IRL officials stopped her.


Coca-Cola 600 (at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Charolette, NC)

Kasey Kane became only the 6th driver to win both the Sprint All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600 in the history of Lowe's Motor Speedway. Kyle Bush started the race and did some dominating despite voltage problems. Dale Earnhardt Jr. would also dominate until he crashed in the wall. But he did salvage a 5th place finish. Brian Vickers also led until a crash caused the driver's side rear tire come loose and bounce into the campers area. Jimmie Johnson would fail to win at the track that sponsors his car. His car suffered engine failure in the final 100 laps. Tony Stewart would have had the win if a tire did not go flat on him with 3 laps to go. Kasey Kane would wind up the winner of this race.


Any thoughts? If you also want to mention the Monaco in this thread, feel free to do so.
