I was at the 1992 race....memorable for pole sitter Roberto Guererro spinning out on the parade lap before the start of the race.

"Go Danica Go !!!!"

I thought she ran a whale of a race.

She had the bad luck of taking 2 pit stops under the green when just a lap later the yellow flag came out. She still ended up in 8th.

Otherwise, she was right up there with the leaders. Very good, consistent driver.

It was a great race - and as exciting a finish as I can recall in the 38 years I've been watching it!

I'm jazzed. Should the thread for next year's gig start right now? Maybe not.

Talk amongst yourselves...

I have a feeling Helio is going to be hard to beat. Hornish hasn't finished many if any Indy 500's.

I am sure everyone is happy I can only bet with my money..!!..

Oh yeah, everyone in the pits said "what a moron" It was because qualifying all month was in the heat, and a storm blew in on Saturday, and it was 58 degrees on Sunday. He punched the turbo and spun his car into the wall.

No.

But what a class act Marco was not blocking.
