Today is the Indianapolis 500, "The Greatest Spectacle In Racing". Now, I'm not a race fan, but even I know that this is the grandest auto race. I also know that the winner of this race, since 1933, has enjoyed some ice, cold milk, ha! But, I didn't know that the drivers had a choice between whole, 2% or skim!
So, what type of milk did your favorite driver request?!? Take a look and see!
As heard on WBKR today, Dario Franchitti won the 96th running of the Indy 500 on Sunday by holding off a charging Takuma Sato, who crashed on the last lap. It was the third Indy 500 win for Franchitti, making him one of 10 drivers to win the race three or more times. Piloting his red No. 50 Target-sponsored car, Franchitti won despite starting 16th.
Danica Patrick has proved time and time again she can run with the boys in the Indy Series and she's ran a few times in the Nationwide Series, but can she make the complete transition to NASCAR? And heck, maybe WIN???
It's true, not once, but twice on Sunday, each potential winner of the Indy 500 (J.R. Hildebrand) and the Coca-Cola 600 (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) were both losers when the checkered flags came out.
Danica Patrick has qualified to start 26th in Sunday's Indianapolis 500 after nearly missing the field for the first time in six years. Patrick got a second chance after her car failed inspection, then the rains came and after a pause in the weather Sunday, Patrick was able to nab the second-fastest average speed to make it into the 33-car field during Bump Day.
