If this is anything like last years race, it's going to be unmissable! Especially with 29 cars!!

Last years race was so awesome, it was like pack racing the entire race, kinda like nascar when it goes to a super speedway, can't wait, gonna be such a good weekend, indy at chicagoland, nascar at Montreal and F1 at Spa!

Is the starting field regulated to 27 cars? If so, it'll be great as Milka will be out-qualified.

It isn't. Actually IRL by-passed that rule for the last 4 events, because of the high amount of entrants.

Under 2 hours till qualifying.

Briscoe grabbed pole, Duno outqualified De Silvestro

Remember how misleading statistics can be.

Back in 2008, Milka Duno led more laps during the season than Danica Patrick.

Well that was Danica being crap all season and Duno being able to stay out while everyone else pitted.

I love it that IRL actually has to allow extra big fields instead of extra small fields as it almost was just a couple of years ago.

Well this will probably be the last race IndyCars will have on this track.

Chicagoland showed a middle finger to IndyCars - http://www.indystar.com/article/2010082 ... is-weekend

ISC playing hardball in regards to letting Open Wheelers run on their ovals?

Shocking.....

Dunno why 3 races a year is all the track seems to want though, there's a lot more going on underneath this story, I imagine.

Shane Hmiel has a back injury that was discovered during his IndyCar physical, so he will be replaced by Arie Luyendyk Jr.

Blessing in disguise. Allows them to look at other tracks, rather than play second fiddle to NASCAR.

That's such a shame. Indycars will be missed by all of us from the Chicagoland area

Race starts at ca. 2:45 am CET
