HILDEBRAND, CASTRONEVES AND HUNTER-REAY
Just like in 'Field of Dreams,' build it and they will come. Push the corn stalks aside and "poof" there it is. A small oval that reminds you of the tracks in the 50's at only 7/8 of a mile. Just turn left and keep on turning. It was the 30th win for Helio Castroneves and this is going to be his retirement year. Well, at least for Indycar and everyone will be sorry to see him go. Happy, friendly and extremely poplar guy that will be missed. It seems amazing to me that this was the first time the Penske team has won here. J.R. Hilldebrand, from my current favorite team, came in second. Ryan Hunter-Reay coasted into third.
Tony Kanaan came in 9th and Takuma Sato was 16th. Ed Carpenter, also from my favorite team, came in 12th. Rookie Ed Jones, who I have been watching, came in 18th.
