2010 Indy 500 Program

The 2010 Indianapolis 500

marked the first time a driver would be attempting to join the elite 4 time winners club since Rick Mears won his fourth '500' in 1991.

(Helio will make his 7th attempt at a fourth win in the 100th Indy.)

 

 

Dario Franchitti won the 2010 running of the race

and went on to join Helio as a three time winner in 2012.

 

 

Recognize two of these Indy Lights drivers from 2010

that have gone on to win Indycar races?

Charlie Kimball finished 2nd, and James Hinchcliffe finished 3rd in the Firestone Freedom 100 at Indy that year.

 

Two great drivers were featured in the program in 2010. 

 

Dan Wheldon and Justin Wilson.

We're glad we got to see them race.

17 DAYS till the 100th RUNNING of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing!!!

Pagenaud Wins Grand Prix of Baltimore

The top 6.

 

Pagenaud (his second win), Newgarden (his highest Indycar finish ever), Bourdais, Justin Wilson, Simona De Silvestro, Kimball.

During the race there was no way to predict who would be where since there were so many crashes.

 

 

Second Place Finisher, Josef,  pre-race. 

(Josef is looking at us because, as always, we shouted his name really loud).

 

Pagenaud, Justin Wilson, and Josef. 

 

Josef Newgarden's first podium in Indycar. 

Alex is watching intently.

 

 

 

Josef's #1 fan ecstatic he finished 2nd.

 

 

A tough day for some of the championship contenders, like Ryan Hunter Reay. 

Helio increased his lead to 49 points over Scott Dixon and Pagenaud moved into third, 70 points back, with 3 races remaining.

 

 

The GP of Baltimore won't be back on Labor Day weekend in 2014, but hopefully they can get in on the schedule somewhere.

 

WE LOVED THIS RACE AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WEEKEND!
