NJTank Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I think Will Power is going to win, because he will use his mind and determination while avoiding temptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I don't know who's going to win the 100th Indy 500 - I have no idea who will be racing in 2016.For the 95th Indy 500, however, I'll go with Scott Dixon (NZL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'll be there on Sunday. Andretti Motorsports has bought the #41 machine of Bruno Junquiera and Ryan Hunter-Reay gets in the race after all.I've got Tags becoming the 21st driver to win the Indy 500 from the pole.

NEW.ERA Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 This race isn't what it used to be that's for sure, my attention will be with the Coke 600 later in that evening. I will still watch though good to see three Canadians in the race so i'm hoping for any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Will, they are marketing it as 100 years of the 500. I haven't been following, so if Sarah Fisher is running, I'll vote for her. Met her a couple times when my stepdad was doing security in gasoline alley...shes cool as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met her a couple times when my stepdad was doing security in gasoline alley...shes cool as hell.I know how they're marketing it - it's the 100th anniversary of the first Indy 500. But it is only the 95th running given they took breaks during WW1 and WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Thats why they are not saying its the 100th race. Their is a difference between 100th Anniversary and 100th race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkell007 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'll be there on Sunday. Andretti Motorsports has bought the #41 machine of Bruno Junquiera and Ryan Hunter-Reay gets in the race after all.I've got Tags becoming the 21st driver to win the Indy 500 from the pole.I saw a interview with Bruno,. MAN what a stand up guy, just give him spot #34 like when they messed up in 97? i think and had 35 starters. josh nope she is retired and expecting kid #1, ed carpenter is driving for her team she owns so i guess u can root for them.

deezy Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I am very excited about this 500. The little guys are going to make it hard on big teams. The playing field is as even as it's going to be (since the new cars roll out next year). I like Ed Carpenter, Townsend Bell or (FROM NOWHERE) Tony Kanaan.

Magnus Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I'll be a homer and root for the Canuck who took the pole position today, Alex Tagliani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'd like to see Danica Patrick win the 500. SInce I have no idea who to pick to win it, I'll just go with some European guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Dario might be the only European I think, still not a bad pick.Edit: Dan Wheldon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJMorris3 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 What a way for Dan Wheldon to win the Indy 500.Or is it more what a way that rookie J.R. Hildebrand lost the Indy 500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hildebrand lost the Indy 500?Lapped traffic forced him up the track into the marbles on the last turn, with the other cars coming fast, he couldn't do anything about that.
