I wonder if we will ever hear why the Honda engines were popping at the end.

I wonder if it is has something to do with when they lean the cars out to conserve fuel. No Chevy engines let go. Honda had 3 in the race, plus some in practice and qualifying.

I'm starting to think that Honda needs to get out of motorsports before they kill their core business with it. What a pity.

In other news, I feel like this Alonso rookie kid is doing ok.
DT...I was sitting in the South Vista between 1 and 2. God awful crash! You could hear a pin drop. When he hit the air it was as if it was in slow motion and Helio drives underneath him. And Alonso...the crowd loved him. He was going to take this thing.

The McLarens were 3 for 3 in DNFs Yesterday.. It's a shame for Alonso, would have liked to see how he finished that race. Rennlist's favorite son finally brings home the Big One!!

Thanks for posting that. Wow, what a great (and funny) speech. It's so clear that Alonso truly enjoyed his Indy participation.
