Today's Indycar race- is Penske cursed ?

First off I enjoyed today's race it was very competitive . Grosjean had a great race he was really mixing it up . Penske ........ Wow they have lost their winning mojo ! Newgardan had it in the bag until he didn't . Love seeing young faces having success . Dixon being quiet and patient and racking up points like a champion . Indycar has turned into a very competitive series and enjoyable to watch . Anyone know why Paul Tracy wasn't in the booth ?

A good race. J.J. needs to retire. He is too old to race at this level. I am a big J.J. fan and thought he quit cup at the right time.

PT was racing in the Tony Stewart IROC-knockoff series. I tried to watch it last night but got tired of hearing the talking heads try to create drama.

So PT was able to shoe horn his svelte body into a race car ? Interesting �� . I really enjoy listening to PT in the booth.

I agree PT is the best in the booth. The SRX cars are wide. I met PT at the Rolex a few years ago.

Poor Newgardan...as we watched him fade, I told Cindy that when he made it home after the race, he'd probably find that his dog died and his wife had left him. Man, talk about terrible luck!

I spent years watching PT be a big crybaby and punt others off the track. If he was anywhere today, I hope it was in the line of a nice Buffet where he belongs..........Good race today. Jimmy is still learning how to turn right I think...........

J Johnson is a marketing win and a LOSER as an Indy car driver. If were anyone else people would be calling for him to be replaced. The folks calling the race keep throwing out the useless phrase "he's looking better each race" but still ending up 18th-22nd. "Better" than what?
Penske can't buy a win this year.
