Nice to see, but if I was him I'd have spent the rest of the season testing the new aero package for Indycar, if possible

He has nothing to race for this year but he might get ahead of the game for 2018 that way, and make him even more employable if he isn't locked into a contract already.

Tasty!!! Finally a fast oval, nice banking, I love how the car flows through the smooth surface ^^

Iowa and Phoenix are also fast, but it's weird, they should have less downforce on those tracks. Here seems nice.

Power breaks it again, Penske lock out of the top 4 positions, they were on average 3-4mph faster than anyone else

I mean, this feels like this should be a bigger deal than it is

when you say person? He hit a human being or a parked up car waiting to go out? :8: :?
