Indy 500!!!! Congrats Helio!!!!Brasil!!!!
 
Wow...Helio Castroneves has won 3 times and at his age he might have a chance to win more Indys :lol:.

I was also hoping Rubens Barrichello would win F1 too, but second place is still good.

What a good race results from the Brasilians. After Senna left us, I kind of stopped watching F1 and Indy, but I will be watching more racing for sure :party:.

Was a good race. Shame Marco went out early, he's always good at Indy. Same for TK.

Not sure what happened to Franchitti & Dixon, they should have been stronger at the end.

The lack of passing on the track this year was a little dissapointing, but still a good race.

That was bad driving by the Brasilian Mario who took Marco out. I like the Andretti family and the legacy they bring to racing. Franchitti and Dixon lost it in the pits. Danica got third because of the pits lol and 2 other Brasilians (Raphael and Vitor) got into a messy accident. All in all it was a good day for Brasil.

Agreed on all counts.

Vitor fractures two vertabrae... he took a nasty shot there. Was his first 500 he's crashed out of.

Yes, that was a nasty crash. I'll be watching the Brasilian Channel to here how he's doing.

I took out the e-mail address for privacy purpose. I can imagine how happy all the family and friends are. My daughter and I were cheering on the final 10 laps like we were crazy lol.
