2006 IRL Rd. 11-Firestone Indy 400
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 2:22 am
Since 2002, the Indy Racing League has made the trip up to the Irish Hills of central Michigan, to the 2-mile Michigan International Speedway, and it's been a blast every time.......this wide, moderately-banked track is a driver's track and an engineer's nightmare.......the fast speeds and close-qtr. driving can test a driver's mettle; the fast speeds can also test the engine's durability(as evidenced by the occasional BBQ'ing of an engine). Long a staple of NA motorsports, Michigan is in the heart of "horsepower country" and whoever's got the most horses underneath them should likely come out on top. Here is the event schedule for this weekend.........(note, all times are U.S. EDT, -4 hrs GMT)
