Power gets past Patrick; both cars off-sequence, so if the field pits ahead of them, they're, in a sense, 1-2
Now Franchitti pits...........stays on the blacks; his team told him to "light the burners"

Full-course caution
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:40 am
Scary moment in the #02 pits; Rahal started to leave before they uncoupled the fuel nozzle.........fortunately, no fire or other problems
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:42 am
Tagliani also had problems in pitlane as well
On a humorous note.........with the timing of this caution, both Franchitti and/or Patrick could be adding Mike Conway to their Christmas Card lists if things work out for either of them........
