Great information. Thanks King!
Buddy Lazier was the best thing to happen to the IRL during it's first six years. He is an outstanding ambassador for our series and the Indy 500. Even though his team and car might not be close in refinement to to the top tier teams, I am certian that Buddy will drive a very competitive race come Sunday.God speed!Comment

Great interview with Ronnie, Dave.
For this race fan from Cleveland, you are truly one of the voices of the Indianapolis 500.
It's a privilege to have the opportunity to participate with you on this IndyCar message board.Comment

So really, it was easy. Just lay the rear wing down. Dial out some front wing to balance the car. Then hand it over to the bulldog from Vail, CO.
And to think I was worried he wouldn't make the race! :,,,,,:
