There is no way you can count out any of the Penske cars . Just too much experience and track knowledge . In the case of RLL , I wonder if their IMSA effort with BMW has stretched the organization too thin . Assuming all engines are built as close to the same as possible that leaves aero/chassis setup and gearing .

I love to see perceived " lesser teams " rise to the top . Hard work and dedication along with $$$ can get you to the top . But 500 miles at 225 - 230 mph is a great equalizer . One pit stop error or one ill-timed yellow can ruin a great finish . Like most fans I hope for a competitive race , an exciting finish and everyone goes home safely at the end of the day .
