The Andretti Curse strikes again! Marco really looked like an Andretti on Sunday (Mike or Mario). But Long Beach is next weekend, and the Andrettis have had much success on those California streets! Good luck to Marco, and congrats to Helio!
A definite "A" for effort by the drivers for putting on an entertaining show on a track with little passing opportunity. The 2010 IndyCar World Series looks to be getting better race by race.
I don't think that Marko Andretti not winning here had anything to do with The Andretti Curse! They just chose the wrong tactic, that hasn't anything to do with bad luck! But of course it just sound better for the history books to put this under The Andretti Curse again.

So what is Dixon's problem? He clearly passed Andretti (SP #4) before the line, so now he complains that he didn't pass Castro Neves (SP #3) until the first turn? So then he's running third, HCN is running fourth, and Andretti is running fifth. How is race control supposed to put him back behind Andretti and NOT put him back behind HCN? Gee Scott, perhaps you can explain that one!
@ceeam then all it would be is run everybody out of fuel, maybe the tires will die out, whoever makes it the farthest would win. where would be the fun in that?
Does anyone know what happened to Simona? She was running in 5th for a while, then I had to go watch the Blazers beat the Lakers. Hope she does well soon.
@ToroQ3000 she posted @ Twitter: Had a great race until I made a mistake!!! It didn t want to go down in gears and accidently went into 1st!!! I feel sorry for the team!!
I have to say... this is track is great, and there are many other great tracks in the US. Shame that they aren't known here in Europe.

She fell to 6th when passed by Briscoe, then spun and lost fire when running alone in 6th, brought out a yellow, and lost a lap getting restarted.

Nice track, but a bit of a boring race. They should probably ban pitstops (at least on road and street courses).

@ceeam why? pitstops make it funny specialy during yellow flags ^_^
the race wasn't so great, but it was good, enough fun.

I felt sorry for Marco. He's been driving like a mad man lately and should have won this race. Great job by Helio and Penske.
