Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
