It was a ferocious impact - Remarkably, the drivers survived a spine chilling moment. As for Alonso, he performed brilliantly. It was amazing how quickly he learned the finer points of racing on an oval track. It was a shame - He was going strong battling with one of the fastest average lap times in P6, with twenty laps to go and Honda's engine fails. How ironic - McLaren-Honda's power units in F1 have been a complete failure. It was an exciting race.The battle between Sato and Castroneves went right to the wire - Nice to see Sato win a historic race. What a great race to watch live. Caution, Caution is out - Harvick hits the wall - Takes out Al Bundy's favorite driver, Kasey Kahne got to go... Best, D. |

Alonso will 'definitely' return to the Indy 500 in the future
By Edd Straw @eddstrawF1 the last two weeks. I came here to prove myself, to challenge myself," said Alonso. "I know that I can be as quick as anyone in an F1 car, I didn't know if I can be as quick as anyone in an IndyCar. "It was nice to have this competitive feeling, leading the Indy 500." http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/129831 |

Alonso had the fastest avg lap speed today.
He lost time in the pits, but that's expected since F1 doesn't have fuel stops. |

Sportswriter is ‘no longer an employee’ of Denver Post after ‘disrespectful’ Indy 500 tweet Quote:
http://deadspin.com/denver-post-colu...-in-1795634687 Professional journalists inform - Tweets have to be retweetable. If journalists did not learn by now that social media stupidity leads to firings, they deserve to be on the street. I cannot believe Frei's original apology included a plug for one of his books - What an moron - All the way around. |

I don't quite follow his sentiment but why fire him? Can't journalists have a controversial opinion or must we all follow the same exact approved thoughts?
Btw my family was at Pearl Harbor and there were tons of Japanese tourists taking photos. Rubbed my parents the wrong way (my grandpa served in the Pacific during WWII). Is that wrong too? Maybe. But maybe not |

I think many people share a similar reaction. It's not disgust or hatred, just a bit of uncomfortable cognitive dissonance. Disquieting may be the best word for it. It really is a bizarre thing to witness. |

Holy cow. Is anyone else watching?
Huge crash, huge fire. Driver is lucky to be alive. He was in the fire for a long time. I’ll post the vid once I can get back to a PC. |
