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 .

Having driven that track in my street 911 with my wife in the passenger seat, I really can't imagine 220MPH speeds with just inches between my tires and the competitors tires.
We got to do a dozen or so laps in single file, and I did hit 90 on the straights. I always thought the track was flat, but they have some pretty steep banking on the turns.
No worries about what turn is coming up next!
