... on the pole for Saturday nights Indy Car race at Kentucky.

That is awesome baby. Kind of makes the whole thing worthwhile for me. When was the last time a sprint car/midget/SC guy got the pole for an IndyCar race?

Sweet. He looked good at Chicagoland last week. He's great on the mile and a halfs. Too bad they are sort of going away. Love to see him get his first win.

But! But, I thought those short track drivers couldn't drive a aero-formula car.

nonwing · 9/3/10, 11:12 PM

so will I. One of my "To do List" to do's is seeing an Indy Car race someplace other than Indy. So my son Eddie and I are traveling with a graphic designer buddy of mine who is taking his son as well. We live in Brownsburg so we plan on a quick down and back. Too bad the show doesen't start until 8:45pm.

Great to see Ed on the Pole. How the heck did Milka out qualify Tony K, Ryan Hunter, and G. Rahal? You would think those three had mechanical probs. If so, once they get around the moving chicane it will be fun watching these three move to the front.
