THUMBS UP!

Pippa Mann, is going to try to make her 2nd Indy 500 this year in a car for Dale Coyne racing.  We always like seeing women drivers at Indianapolis so we hope she makes it!



Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon will be driving to give the Target Chip Ganassi racing team its 100th victory this weekend at the Sao Paulo Brazil Indy race.  Their first win came with Michael Andretti way back in 1994 in Australia.




THUMBS DOWN.

Could Indycars race on the old Formula 1 road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway?  We hope not.  Indy is a special place for the 500. So we agree with Robin Miller's article on this. 


Driver Oriol Servia will be without a ride after the Indianapolis 500 as his team Panther Dreyer Reinbold Racing cannot find enough sponsership and will be shutting down.
