2) Yeah! Big, huge ups to Justin Wilson and the entire Dale Coyne Racing team! As a guy who thought very strongly about buying into Justin's career when he was in F1 (and which I would have done, had I not been flat broke at the time), this was probably the best thing I could imagine happening in today's IndyCar scene. As you can imagine, I'm biased there, but I defy you to find me anybody who's ever said anything bad about the guy, or anybody who was pulling against Coyne, 558 races deep into his IndyCar career without a single win. Just awesome, and I hope that all of the warm fuzzies generated this weekend can last us for several weeks. Hey, we'll probably all be bickering about the downforce levels of the cars again come Kentucky, but a guy can dream, can't he?

You read my thoughts verbatim on point one. I was yelling at the TV, invoking the ghost of Paul Page, who was busy at the hot dog eating contest, allegedly only broadcasting it. Not good TV. Maybe they can watch some F1 coverage to see how that situation should be covered.
Ditto what you said about Coyne. Of course, I have Wilson in our fantasy league, so I was thrilled on that account, but more objectively, he's a great interview and somebody you want to root for. Good for Dale! It was, like he said, too long in coming. Years ago, he paired with my all-time hero Walter Payton in co-owning the team. Spare a thought for him while we also celebrate for Coyne.
Good entries, Speedgeek. They'd be even better if they came out more often . . .
I thought about putting some money into Wilson's career. I'd be intrigued to know how much those who did made or lost on the deal too.
Great to see him win for Coyne - I've always thought he never got a fair crack of the whip in F1.
