Gil is never fast in morning warmups when he has the pole. He thinks about setup and not about racing people to the top of the warmup chart, for which he gets no points. My favourite part of your summary is the part that says "Andretti continues to struggle."
I'm sorry, I can't like Michael Andretti. It is beyond my ability.
Our local station has decided to tape-delay the Champ Car race in favour of a Nutbar race, so I will be adjourning to Live Timing and Scoring shortly. This will give me time to do the Fantasy Grid stuff before the actual race, and to sit back and enjoy a Penske Win (I HOPE)!
I am so glad we are off the roundy-rounders and back to real man racing again. Forza Penske!
