That's awesome. Hopefully other races, and TV ratings, will also start to climb back up.

Try Finnish TV. Two years ago MTV3 televised it live in full HD quality, no commercial breaks and original ABC commentators. They virtually didn't advertise it at all and probably the ratings were bad enough for them not to show it again last year. What a waste.

That would make 33. Shank has had to pull the plug as well.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Ganassi is having a press conference tomorrow at IMS. Charlie Kimball, Kyle Larson & a Noro Nordisk representative to be in attendance.

What could it be?

Both drivers running Noro Nordisk paint liveries during Memorial Day weekend? (most likely)
Kimball running a 3rd car at the 600 or the Xfinity race at Charlotte? (just a thought, doubt it tho)
Larson running a 5th car at Indy? (too late for 2016 IMO, Ganassi wants Cup wins first for Larson, Larson entered in other satellite shows for the 600 too)

Indy Star reporting that Kimball will race #42 in the 500, and Larson will have Kimball's name on one of the doors in the 600

So, tests starts today?
We have 1 week for test prior to qualy? And then another for the race?

Questions are...

How much sandbagging where Chevy doing?
Did Honda really had a reason for all that whining?
How much the new settings are going to affect the racing? And would that be for the better?
(harder to drive can separate the mans from the boys, but last year overtaking was already hard enough for Montoya to display that on the best fashion...)
If it's going to be harder to drive, who's going to show of, and any surprises on that group? Or out of it....
How about track speeds in race in qualy configuration?

And....
Are the aero lift-offs over?
