My Thoughts and Ramblings...

July 5, 2009
Watkins Glen

Hey everyone! Sorry for the week off at Richmond. Unfortunately, I was out of town and unable to watch the race.

Anwhoo, hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July! I had a blast last night hanging out with friends and was super ready for all the sports events on today: Wimbledon Men's Singles Finals with Andy Roddick and Roger Federer (poor Andy for the loss, he played a good match today!) and, of course, Indycar @ Watkins Glen!!

I think we all need to give congrats to Justin Wilson for pulling out the win today! Finally seeing someone win other than a Penske or Ganassi is great!

Also, congrats to MA for pulling out a top 5 finish. Unfortunately, I didn't see the contact with Viso early on in the race (I'll have to go find a replay of it on Indycar.com), but what a rough break. He was down a lap for awhile and then pretty much came out of nowhere in the last 10 laps or so. He made some great fuel milage and moved up to 6th, and finally got Mike Conway on the last lap for 5th. Yay!

On another note, hopefully TK can turn some of this bad luck around. Jeesh, we haven't seen much of him all season. Super disappointing. C'mon Team 7-11!!! Marco is now ahead of TK in the points championship. Wasn't expecting that this season. I thought it'd be his year, but after some major crashes/dnfs, they really need to step things up.

On to Torontooooo!

Tip of the Hat:

Justin Wilson

Obviously. Haven't seen much of this guy this season yet. With the team change for him this year to Dale Coyne, no one was really sure what to expect. But Justin has really shown his strength on road courses and the team did a great job setting him up for the win at the end with the red alternate tires that proved to be great under short, fast restarts and stints. He really pulled away from the Ganassi and Penske boys there at the end with a 4 second lead going into the final lap! Great run for him and the team. It's always nice to see an underdog team succeed over the big 2. I think it's safe to say that we are all getting a bit sick of Penske/Ganassi dominating. Good job Justin and Dale Coyne Racing!

Greetings Elle,

I'm hoping you had a good Thanksgiving. I watched the last game. This pain won't go away until next season. Hope all is good with your classes.

Greetings Elle,

I will not be able to attend any games this year. :-( I watch them on t.v. every chance I get. I have a Michigan flag hanging in my kitchen window.

I have money on Saturday's game with a co-worker.

Just love the Wolverines!

Greetings Elle!

I totally understand how you feel. We will continue to do better. The next game is on television. Were you able to score any tickets for any home games this year?

I just know we can, I just know we can, I just know we can!

Greetings Elle,

I was totally heartbroken. But it's still early. Whether we're a new team, with a new coach I really believe we can overcome and have a good year.

I'll be glued to the television for every game that's on.

I think we can! I think we can! I think we can!

May the force be with us.
:-)

In His Own Words

From Trackside Online:

Marco Andretti: It's easy to get down on the season we had, especially with the way it ended in Homestead, but it's over with and we can't go back. So that leaves us with having to find the good and learn from where we've been.

We didn't win races, but out of 17 starts we had 11 top-10 finishes. We finished eighth in the points - still inside the top 10. It wasn't a great season, but made we progress throughout the year.

It was a frustrating season, for sure, and it was… Continue

Motor oil runs in Andretti family's veins

Original article here

At the Andretti family resort, the members of a clan synonymous with speed enjoy no end of high-revving recreational choices.

There's a circa-1971 racing boat that Mario Andretti, the patriarch and motor-racing legend, has clocked at a top speed of 210 km/h. There are four-wheel off-road vehicles, motocross racers and jet-skis, a water-skiing boat and more.

And when winter falls… Continue

Teammates Andretti, Patrick insist they're at peace despite rumours

The Canadian Press-By John Kekis

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Marco Andretti smiled at the question.

Sure, there might have been a few hard feelings aimed at Andretti Green Racing teammate Danica Patrick after Saturday night's race at Texas Motor Speedway, but they already were forgotten.

"I just said what I was feeling," Andretti said Tuesday during a break in IndyCar testing at Watkins Glen International. "I was frustrated. But we talked it out. It's not the first time it's happened and it's… Continue

Marco Andretti tries to avoid another close shave at Texas Motor Speedway

By RAY BUCK rbuck@star-telegram.com

The Andretti name opens a lot of garage doors.

The latest benefactor is 22-year-old Marco Andretti, carrying the family baton now in his fourth year of IndyCar Racing.

Marco brings to open-wheel racing a familiar name and a fresh face ... uh, a Gillette Fusion-smooth face, if you believe the latest TV commercials in which he appears.

The 30-second spot was originally produced for Russian and Canadian market distribution, but has since taken a circui… Continue
