100th . . . I am excited ! ! !

If you didn't get to watch it you missed a great race. We saw a rookie learn a very important (and expensive) lesson in turn 4 of the last lap. Congratulations to Dan Wheldon for a great win!

Great finish. But he can still tell his grandkids how he finished second in the 100th indy 500 on two wheels. Glad he walked away from it.

Yes, I agree. The kid did very well and should be proud. I hated to see him collect the wall but it did get me up out of my chair.

My only complaint with the race was the change to 2 wide restarts. I think they need to reconsider that change next year.

I got home to watch the last 30 laps- glad I tuned in. That last lap was jaw dropper for sure. Elation and despair all in a matter of seconds.

A great day of racing but the finish of the Coca-Cola 600 was a heartbreaker.

John, it's by divine intervention that I didn't see the race (watching movies with Val)- saw the video review. I would've lost sleep over Jr. running out of gas and coming in 7th. As a Jr. fan, it's a heartbreaker indeed

on average this year, He's been placing in the top 10, which is great for the chase. But I really want Him to get in that winner's circle this year and break His drought. I think He'll bring one home this year- maybe the Coca-Cola 400 in July, if not sooner.

Please don't revoke my #88 card for missing the race.
