Then, late in the race, coming up on the group racing for fifth to tenth places, it all goes wrong, but, the three leaders are able to weave their way through the chaos and carry on unscathed. However, the race is red flagged, and they are allowed to service the cars during the red flag stoppage. Seb get's the gift of new tires, and the rest is history.
Monaco is a beautiful setting, but I usually find the race to be relatively uninteresting, other than the tunnel-chicane complex, however, this year's race was absolutely thrilling. And, my man, Sebastian Vettel hangs on for the win. Nothing makes you luckier than winning.
...On to Indianapolis and another exciting race.
The front row introduced to the crowd before the start - Tagliani, Dixon and Servia. JR qualified in 12th, Wheldon in 6th.,
And, they're off...
JR Hildebrand working his way into the lead, while others are conserving fuel, he's got enough to make it to the end.
The 23 YO rookie has the Indy 500 in hand, one final turn to go for the win...err...you are coming up pretty fast on a slower car there JR, no, no don't go on the outside dude, it's all marbles...
Dan Wheldon is gifted the 2011 Indy 500. It's never over until it's over.
And then, there's this, NASCAR Coca Cola 600 at Charolette, the longest race of the year. Is Jr gonna get his game back on after 3 years?...I guess you might as well go for it....
runnin' on empty...oh well, Harvick will take it!
