    Also looks like the race will not be shown live, as FOX is broadcasting it at the same time as the Pocono 500(if there is a race)
    IRL is in Texas which to me is the most enjoyable race to watch in the IRL circuit.
    I agree. I remember last year there was a four-way battle for the lead which lasted for over 20 laps with all four cars being side-by-side for the entire time. It was pretty awesome. It's certainly much better than Indy!

      Pretty good race tonight. I thought for sure that Briscoe would win even after Castroneves passed him via pit road considering how dominant Briscoe was earlier in the race. Castroneves' team must have made some great adjustments to improve that car enough to stay ahead of Briscoe for the final run.

        You must have watched a different race than me. If that was a Cup race, people would be talking about how boring it was.

          Well, to be honest, I only saw that last 50 laps or so (I was watching the Nationwide Race), so I didn't have to sit through the times when Briscoe had a 10-second lead. I probably wouldn't have the same opinion then!

            That would explain it.

              Yeah, FOX is scheduled to broadcast the upcoming few F1 races starting with the Turkish GP today.

                WTF - I hate that redneck network. What are they doing with F1? Figures those clowns are doing a delayed broadcast...guess they needed some time to get Gopher Cam in there. Woke up early for nothing.

                Oh, and I will say this about the IndyCar / Texas race. Oval racing - especially a track over a mile long - are as much fun to watch as cars on the freeway.

                Best of all about last nights race - VS saved up all their commercial breaks for the end. So after the last yellow came out and cars actually got together side by side, VS had everyone watching Best Buy commercials.

                    Just another note, NHRA is in town, I didn't do go see it, but I live close by, and just love hearing the engine roars every few minutes.

                      24 Hours of Le Mans is this weekend. Can't wait.

                        Yeah, the Le Mans 24-hour race should be a good one. It's too bad that the GT1 class is going to lose a lot of luster now since Aston Martin has moved on and focused its attention on the P1 class. The Chevy Corvette C6.R and Aston Martin DBR9 had formed a fierce rivalry in the GT1 class, and that's going to be missed. The battle for supremacy in the P1 class should be better, though.

                              I expect Speed TV to show most of the Le Mans race like the network usually does. The race is scheduled to start at 3pm local (French) time which is 9am ET, but there will likely be a pre-race show going on for an hour or so prior to the event.
