2006 IRL Rd. 14--Peak Antifreeze Indy 300
Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 3:14 pm
It's almost hard to believe, but time really flies these days.......case in point, the 2006 IRL IndyCar Series has just one round remaining. Just more than five months ago in south Florida, the series began its' 2006 season on a somber note; now, one race remains to crown a champion. Four drivers--Helio Castroneves, Sam Hornish, Jr., Dan Wheldon or Scott Dixon, get one last shot to capture the title; for Marlboro-Team Penske, it will be their first IndyCar Series title; for Target/Ganassi Racing, their second. But don't think for a moment that the other drivers will simply get out of the way; far from it. From the drop of the green to the waving of the checkered flag, it will be 200 laps of full-throttle, hold on to anything racing; and as we have seen many times this year, the race will likely come down to who makes the least mistakes.
Here is the event schedule for the 2006 season finale..............

~~and, both the tv/radio simulcasts can be seen on the United States Armed Forces Network
As always, I'll have qual. and race summaries, commentaries, and anything else that comes to mind; since we are in the heart of "Blues Brothers" country, don't be surprised if you see two individuals in Blues Brothers' clothes driving a two-tone 80's cruiser.....speaking of which, has anyone seen julian? It could be worse, though; there isn't a plider flying around, is there??
