--andretti racing has won 4 of the 6 run here with ganassi picking up the other two...michael andretti says that rhr "is in his prime", and who am i to argue with him winning 6 of the last 17 races and four other top 5's...smokin
--kanaan has a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd in the last 3 races here
-- newgarden won here in 2011 in the lights cars with the most laps led...a 19th place finish with the big boys last yr
--vautier had the pole and led the most laps in the lights cars in 2012, but finished 4th...my high hopes for him at the beginning of the year have left me
-- viso has only 4 top 5's in his career (91 races)...that being said, he has a podium finish here and was a strong 4th last weekend...this is my darkhorse
-- marco...if not for the refueling issue and the electrical failure, would he have won last saturday?? hell if i know, but what we do know is he has four top 3's in 6 efforts here (best of anyone in the field)
-- servia's best finish here was a 14th in 3 efforts and it seems like panther should have swapped the two (milwaukee) since briscoe has better efforts here...but what the hell ever since it doesn't matter what i think
-- dixon 4 top 5's in 6 starts here and has run pretty well this yr (5th in points)
-- dario 3 top 5's in 5 starts with 2 wins here...disappointing start to the year for sure, but has rattled off 4 straight top 10's
-- helio with 5 top 10's in 6 tries
--tags...not sure what dumbass would mention how erratic he is and then put money on him the follwing week (that would be me)...he has zero top 10's in 3 starts here and would expect him to duplicate such
--rahal...my other favorite crackhead has 3 top 10's here in 5 starts...i will still look to fade him
-- power 2 top 10's with a 14.75 avg here...interesting quote from him was that "he had lowered his expectations"...i'm not sure how to take that to be honest with you, but thought it worth mentioning
numbers are up, and while i shit the bed last weekend, i'm not scared...gimme:
rhr +550 (unit)
marco +775 (unit)
viso +1950 (.30 units)
--props to Catdaddy for picking up the winner in milwaukee
-- certainly a different type of format for qualifying, but i like this race...good luck
