Oh, boy; Team Penske locks out the top two rows for tomorrow's race. :clap:

I want to go with my man Scott Dixon, but I just don't see anyone breaking through the Penskes ATM.

My Picks:

Pagenaud
Power
Montoya

Hunter-Reay has worked himself back to seventh and Power is knocking on JPM's door.

Oh, Power tries the pass and gets his wing clipped, literally. JPM still leads with 8 to go.

Looks like the Honda aero kit bits are very prone to falling off at the slightest touch. :(

Good to see Kanaan get in there & somewhat spoil the Penske party up front.

Here's how we did:

IndyAndy: 4 points - picked Power to finish 2nd, got JPM out of position.
Retroram52: 2 points - got Power & JPM out of position.

Neither of us are off to a flying start. There's still plenty of time for others to join in the fun.

Next Up: New Orleans, on April 12. :)

I caught it on DVR, and I guess that's the issue with complicated aero kits. The more pieces you add, the more that can fall off.

And I just have to say that Rahal's drive through penalty was BS. I think Kimball thought it was Graham that poked him (It was Pagenaud) and then decided to race Graham even though his car was damaged. Kimball was all over the track and with a stricken car, he should have gotten out of the way.

Yea forty_three. The IRL is apparently trying to catch up with F-1 with all those layers of fins and sech. But F-1 has their aero packages down. Very concise and all very functional. I have read that the drivers in IRL really like the new aero packages because of the car's stability and downforce in many different situations. When somebody knocks off a piece or two, the difference in handling is significant. Should be an interesting year.
