Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

We're all back to square zero!

Juan Pablo Montoya, lap 42 at St Pete's, March 30th 2014
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
