@indyracefan I would doubt it, because TNT was covering this race. I don't think that they would give the IRL every shot possible, let alone NASCAR allowing it. So I'm sure an IRL employee was handed a hand held and told, "Show Dario coming down the front stretch, and shut it off."
The video description says Dario executes 3 laps, why does the official IndyCar YouTube channel only have 10 seconds of him coming down the front stretch? Where's the other 2-1/2 laps? Certainly there's more video than just this,...right?!
Happy that IRL is coming to Loudon. Once Bruton Smith bought NH, it was only a matter of time that IRL returned. Top Cup cars qualify around 131-132 MPH. There is some belief that Bruton is bringing IRL to NH to compensate for a NASCAR date he might move to KY or Vegas. NHMS is in a dispute with the Loudon Police on cost of security during NASCAR weekends.
@Brantoc Buddy, you're confused. I didn't compare NASCAR to Indy. I used Indy at Milwaukee as a benchmark for what to expect from an Indy car at Loudon.

@fordfocusonme that would never happen. Besides SMI and IRL are teaming up to take down the France family owned NASCAR and ISC.

@BooBooToo Yea you are right, some reason I was thinking Milkwaukee laps were 23s, so 21s compared to 29s :D

@fordfocusonme I love that sound too! I have heard the engines for years. I live about 10 mins from the IMS.
