Well, it's not like the races at Milwaukee were great with the IRL cars.

Less then an hour before first practice session. Actually the only practice session before qualy, witch seems stupid and biased really...

True. But I'd take Milwaukee over Texas anytime.

Both are good ovals. At least way better than Kansas, Richmond or Iowa.

Needs more Michigan.

Milka 6th in practice.
