I know we have fans of IndyCar on here. I don't know much about IndyCar, but will be watching on Sunday following the Monaco Grand Prix.



Here are the complete results from the Fast Nine:

1. Ed Carpenter - 228.762

2. Carlos Munoz - 228.342

3. Marco Andretti - 228.261

4. EJ Viso - 228.150

5. AJ Allmendinger - 228.099

6. Will Power - 228.087

7. Ryan Hunter-Reay - 227.904

8. Helio Castroneves - 227.762

9. James Hinchcliffe - 227.070

This thread won't get much interest here. Everyone's into just F1.

It should be a great race Sunday. I look for Power and Castroneves to charge to the front. Dixon and Franchitti are having problems. Hopefully they can sort them out by Sunday.

 

^ I was hoping some interest would be rekindled

Of late though, it has largely been F1....also not as busy as it used to be when I started on here.

 

I've gotten into Indycar over the past few years, really looking forward to this weekend. I'm not happy that the top 9 are all Chevy powered, hopefully Honda can get it together before the race.

 

I've been to all three days of all 39 Long Beach GPs and all the IndyCar and Champ Car/CART 500s at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. I love IndyCar!

 

If there is one Indycar race to watch, this is it. Anything can happen, and the pressure on these guys to win (much like Monaco, some guys would rather win the Indy 500 than the Indycar championship) can make some guys crack. JR was a rookie. Had one turn to go and lost it...

Or this one on the last lap last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnXsRffhDXI

I have to say "Go Chevy" because I do some work for those teams (sorry Honda). I can't wait for the race. Great weekend of motorsports!

 

Don't much care about which engine wins the race as long as it is an exciting finish. The fact that there are more engine suppliers in IndyCar is part of what is attracting me to it.
