INDYCAR IN CALIFORNIA

MIKE CONWAY

It is a small world, but not small enough to show this race in China. It was advertized in Mongolia, but not shown there either. Oh, well! Mike Conway went on to win after an accident on lap 55 that took out the leaders. Second went to Will Power and third to rookie Carlos Munoz.

Mike Conway and teammate/owner, Ed Carpenter, are going to have an interesting year. A one car team with drivers doing separate chores. Conway, who was injured at the Indy 500 a couple of years ago, had decided he could no longer race on oval tracks comfortably. Carpenter, always did very well on oval tracks, but not very well on road courses and street tracks. A match made in heaven.

Tony Kanaan and Takumo Sato were both taken out in the lap 55 pileup.
