Managed to get the last 30 laps or so last night, just saw a highlight clip. Great racing. I love the way IndyCar is racing this season.

I used to be a fan of Hinch, but the guy just makes too many mistakes.

Every time he has half a chance of a good finish, he ends up in the wall.

If he was only as good behind the wheel as he is behind his Iphone, he'd be a championship contender, as it is, his talent usually runs out when he needs it most.

I find your lack of faith in the mayor of Hinchtown....disturbing

errrr, he's right in the championship hunt :o the only DNF's he's had this season are Detroit (not his fault) and Iowa in which he lost it.

Yeah, two DNFs isn't really a reason to panic, especially when he's rather consistent. The schedule heavily favors Will Power, however.

Indeed, although Dixon has given him a run for his money in some events this year

What are you talking about??? :?

2012 so far...

Round 1 - 4th
Round 2 - 6th
Round 3 - 3rd
Round 4 - 6th
Round 5 - 6th
Round 6 - Retired, lose tarmac
Round 7 - 4th
Round 8 - 3rd
Round 9 - Retired, crash

Hinch is having a great year, each finish has been a top 6 finish. I fail to see your point.

I'm talking about his career in general, Indy lights/Toyota Atlantic and everything else, not just one race or the season so far.

He just makes too many mistakes, for whatever reason.

A young driver makes mistakes. Whould've thunk it?

It is much easier for a fast but erratic driver to cut out the mistakes than it is for a slow and cautious driver to speed up. And he has cut out the mistakes. I don't think Dan would have done any better in that car.

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.

Yeah, looks like typical new driver stats. By that logic, Josef Newgarden makes too many mistakes, as well.

Codename is just mad that he's not the next PT, bashing everything about the series. Like I said before:
