Welcome to the

2009

Indianapolis 500. We'll be coming to you live from the track just off pit road, just under an hour from the green flag drop hello everyone, I'm Brent Musburger, well, like these drivers, we have a long way to go today there is the return of Elio Castroneves, there is the new super team of Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon and, of course, there is a celebration of the centenary of Indianapolis Motor Speedway but everything revolves around around the brave 33 taking to the start line today 29 of the drivers are looking for their first victory at the Brickyard and Jack arute is alongside with one of them Ryan Briscoe teams up with art with Team Penske and Ryan, what does it take to to finally enter Victory Lane here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway?

Oh, I don't know, I hope I can tell you at the end, but you know I certainly have butterflies moving right now and it's been a great month for Team Penske. You know, we've been very fast, very consistent and we just want to continue that into today's race work with Elio and hopefully we can fight at the end of the race. good luck today thank you very much Vince in the history of this race Tony Kanaan is the only driver to lead seven consecutive years but Tony, you have never won, how much are you willing to bet to win today?

Oh, we're definitely betting, it means I think this morning when we woke up, we saw the weather, it's a little bit humid, more humane than Friday, but we're going to take our chances. I think we finished second, we finished third. What matters to us now is the wind we have. I'm going to take a big risk there, secretly, if we can drink that milk. Brent was runner-up today. He is one of the favorites to be the winner. No, thanks Vincennes from two drivers still looking for the first victory in Indy, 2-1. He already has two, now all Castroneves has never failed to thrill fans at the Brickyard, but recent off-court problems have made this year a difficult one for the Brazilian star.

When we go back to difficult times for a two-time champion, it was very difficult. You know it was the hardest thing I had to go through. I'm Gonna Pray for Justice,

2009

Indianapolis 500 Broadcast Presented by godaddy.com godaddy.com, where you can make the web your domain with a.com name for less than a Buck Amana and Firestone, the first name in Indy Racing in the history of the 500 with a warm driver, he won his. Castroneves pulled off that extraordinary DoublePlay and I don't want to know that two wins would come off the court like Castroneves Minh did.

Dancing with the Stars in 2007 to further enhance a remarkable success story, but 2009 began with a very different chapter for the Brazilian, that's what one of the most likeable athletes in all of sports experienced. Some of his darkest hours among the rookie 500 opened wide. of opportunities to do different things that I never thought would be possible we need to dance the stars for me, we certainly crossed the barriers, you can see the defense full of us and start to recognize you or your name, which is a great Indy racer and former winner from ABC. Dancing with the stars Helio Castroneves turned himself in to federal authorities this morning.

He has been accused of using offshore accounts to hide millions of dollars in income from the IRS. I'm going to pray for justice, it was very difficult, you know, it was the hardest. ever had to go through a seven count indictment, it lists him along with his sister/business partner and his lawyer for a maximum of 35 years in prison if convicted, obviously my family is involved in that too, that was my sister, you know? With a 10 month old it was difficult for me you know and to be honest she was the strongest, they are always trying to protect him and during the trial there was nothing I could do for six months you know?

You're thinking about so many things that there really was a cost to emotion. The latest is that we're almost done and everyone involved expects us to deliver this to the jury, if not Friday, then certainly early next week. I'm your business. manager I knew we hadn't done anything wrong, so I didn't have any doubts. Indy driver Elio Castroneves has been acquitted of tax evasion charges. The two-time Indy 500 champion was found not guilty of six charges and one conspiracy. the charge resulted in a hung jury my mind wasn't thinking about anything else the only thing I felt was my lawyer Huggy me the fans thank you so much I can't thank you enough for all you guys have been saying prayers and it was like waking up from a nightmare, They say okay, you have to take your bags and go to Long Beach it was a rollercoaster of emotions, seeing it as a big word, like coming in, reestablishing your self and things like that, enough of the sustained objections, cancellation as if there is no impossible if you believe in something elio with everything you have been through in the last few months you come here you win the survey you win the fastest pit stop challenge and practice how in the world you have returned to success on your return to India a lot of faith strong faith and family around you you know has kept me stronger and this is what I know what to do.

I love running. This is my job. I hope I was born to do it. It's a bomb. I feel fantastic. And this is incredible. Seeing this crowd is just incredible, so now it's time for me to go. I have fun because it's about knowing and it's having fun, okay. Elio Castroneves seeks to become the sixth driver in history to win three times here at Indy. Brent, well Jamie Elio getting this year's poll only enhances one Roger s Penske's notable Indy 500 resume. One look at his record here and one wonders if it worked, the dominance is strong enough, especially when you consider the 94 drivers facing each other on the board.

Warner Trophy 15 percent of them drove for this man, but even though Roger is the king of Indy, Chip Ganassi is the owner with a target on his back, literally the team that is, this symbol has the last two champions of the 500 and the series. We'll take a look at his super teammate Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon when the 2009 Indy 500 gets underway here on ABC. I think you know the goal as a team that has that pressure all the time. You know they are definitely a team that has their goal in mind. When people chase them, they never realized the irony of this until they had the target of impact: the great Eddie Rickenbacker drove in the second Indy 500 and became the most decorated American ace in World War I.

He bought the Speedway in '27 and under his rule, traditions like drinking milk and the BorgWarner Trophy began after the track closed during World War II. Rickenbacker would celebrate Tony Hulman's yard in 1945 and that started the modern era here at the track and a man who is synonymous with success here is Roger Penske, but one man who has been chastising is Chip Ganassi. Roger first, you are about to go after your 15th Indy 500 victory, how do you put together a team that has had so much success? I think it's teamwork Jack, you know we've been together, I think this year we'll have over 800 years of experience in the team, we've got good drivers, great sponsors over the years and again it's teamwork Here, I work as a team and in all races, but I have to try to beat this guy.

He knows how to pick my pocket, I'm sure he made that chip last year, but tell me a little about the spirit of the rivalry between the two of you. You like nothing more than those eight hundred years of experience that they just left me there on the asphalt. I don't know, man, we certainly don't have that, but you know, hey, if you don't have someone to shoot at, you know it's not fun to be here and then Rogers set the pace for many years and I like to shoot. at them and we like to shoot at each other from time to time, but hey, there are plenty of other cars up there that make us both race.

I hope it's between the two of us, but I'll tell you a lot of guys back there I got some speed too. Good luck to both of you. One thing you should know is that Chip Ganassi in his effort to come after Roger Penske has put together a super team and he did it in an unlikely way. We will win so hard because you have a chance here the whole team has to do their job you are going to do your job you have some luck when all those things come together to do it Dixon and Franchitti will go side by side down the line until the last The race between Darío and I and the winner was going to win the presidency.

You know, we were pushing as hard as possible. Fuel ran out. Dario Franchitti went all the way with Darío and just lost the way we did it. I think that was the most frustrating. In part it was quite dramatic and I don't think it gets any more dramatic in that last corner, the last lap after a season-long battle, it's great to have won the two biggest awards in the sport in one year. Dario left Andretti Green Racing to try it. NASCAR with a ride from his former opponent, Chip Ganassi, racing every year. I asked myself the same question: do I still want to do this?

I've gotten into a question if I'm not sure and thought, well, maybe I should look at something. different, that was a motivation that will need a scar, try something completely different. I didn't realize how different it was until I got there. It takes a lot of things to work well and to be aligned with such a small number of people in the world who have done it is the height of excellence, that's it and unless youintroduce almost everyone you'll meet again as a member of Indianapolis, one of us is very, very special, a year later, the tables had turned Scott Dixon.

Now I was on top of the world while Darío was struggling in his new company, you know, watching the

broadcast

and stuff, it was like we had never been there the year before, it's like the old seven race hadn't happened, which in the 500 I watch and Scott does his thing, I definitely felt like I regret a hard break for Dario Franchitti, he is learning the hard way, they sure call that the ice bath, but today he is red hot and it is the winner. Scott Dixon concludes. The 2008 championship, from the highs of o7 to the lows of an average level.

I learned a lot about myself. I can tell how much I miss driving the IndyCar. There are still apartments. I wanted to go and continue in NASCAR and try to be successful. butThere is nothing better than driving an Indy car. The goal is a team that has pressure all the time. You know they are definitely a team that has the target on their back. People chase them. They never realized the irony of this until they actually had the goal. The goal of impact, part of being a successful team is that people want to move on and to be called a super team, you know, that's great, you always have to have that extra respect. 15 minutes, you want to beat them, absolutely, I want to beat them.

Scott obviously wants to beat me with Darin, now it's definitely a strong team, the last two 500 champions, the last two series champions, hopefully one of us wins the big race and another championship will be very happy, very happy and, like You can see, the Indy cars are a good fit for the Kiwi Scot beyond the 500, but all that success was when they were competitors. Today is his first race in Indy since his teammates are doing very well so far, both They are in the first two rows Frank Keeney in third place while Dixon starts in fifth and will no doubt have a say in who will put his face next to theirs on the Port Water trophy, of course the question on everyone's mind.

What they want to know is: when will we see the first woman to honor this sacred silver lining? She's tough on the court, she appears on the cover of countless magazines, but she was also a daddy's girl. we come back a side of Danica Patrick you've never seen before. This is like the best photo ever, of us hugging after the race. I didn't say anything I don't think we did it so I just said I just said I'm so proud of you Hi, I'm Danica Patrick, welcome to the

broadcast

of the Indianapolis 500 presented by godaddy.com on ABC weather. so far so good, 70% chance of sun rising the rest of the afternoon a large crowd available at the reminder program this Wednesday ABC extends through the summer.

Wipeout is back with new obstacles. Crazier contestants and even bigger Wipeouts. ABC's Wipeout sees the season premiere Wednesday at 8:00 ET 7:00 Central Time on ABC Well, it was 1952 when 22-year-old Troy Ruttman entered the history books as the youngest winner of the 500 Miles from Indianapolis, but the youth movement has no strength in the Brickyard this year and that 57-year-old record is under serious attack. Three drivers in the first three rows are younger than Rutland, of course, Graham Rahal and Marco Andretti got to see their last names on the BorgWarner trophy, courtesy of dad Bobby and grandpa Mario, respectively.

Right now Brienne Pedigo is with one of the young second generation Indy driver, Graham Ray Aubrey, and so far so good for Graham Rahal, who will start today's race from fourth position. Graham, a lot of people have pegged you as the Dark Horse to win today, how do you feel about that? I mean, I think, to be completely honest, the MacDonalds team has worked really hard this month and, for a dark horse, I don't think it's really fair to any of these guys because I feel like they know we've got such a good car, Like I said, we've worked really hard, I think we should be one of the favorites, not one of the dark horse.

I think if we can run to the front with the first three there and hold on or if we can get out to the front McCarthy on my own, so if I can get out to the front, I don't think anyone can be biased, that's what we hope. You're technically not a rookie this year, but you haven't completed it. about the Indianapolis 500, but how will you tackle the 500 today? Yes, I mean, it will be difficult, it will be a little different today, but for sure and other important things, patience and obviously the main goal has to be to get McDonald's car to the end and of course we want to win the race , but you know we only have one car in tenth place, we're not going to put it on the fence, that's certainly good for one of the younger drivers in the field. one of the oldest John Andretti is with Jamie Little and John making history today as the first driver to drive a car in the Indy 500 for the King Richard Petty John, what's it like driving for the King here in Indy?

Well, I've driven. for him for a long time and it's always been a pleasure to drive for Richard and all the small businesses at Richard Petty Motorsports and for Richard to take time out of his schedule to come here means a lot to me personally and you know. everywhere you know where it is because you all have a little tracker people and I'm going to thank Window World for making it all happen because they are the dirt, the glue that held it all together and Ryan Ryan races for his team and that tenacity of the race seemed to help the race team get into this race John, it was a struggle to get here, we know we've been watching you, you made it on the course, what are your chances today?

Well, no I don't know, I mean I don't know much about the car we did on induction day, we just ran on worn tires and you know, trying again and getting a feeling that worn tires don't really give you many clues. So we'll see how it goes at the beginning here and we'll try to work our way and get comfortable and we'll work on the car all day and the long race, who knows, maybe we can get the win for the world near the front and I mean, a top ten would definitely be a victory crossover it's been 40 years since Andretti was in the field and I think you think your family is, let's go to Brienne, we're getting ready for the driver introductions, this is Brian, we're getting ready , I'm here with the The newest member of Team Penske has willpower, but what does it feel like to be part of a team that has won this race 14 times?

Yes, there is a lot of pressure now, but it is a fantastic big team. It's been a really good month for me, very comfortable and two good ones. Teammates and all of us, it's very good, you are getting ready to be introduced to the huge crowd here, we will start with knife today Brent, okay, saved, thank you very much and while we are here at the end of the pit row at the front. Straight from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it's amazing to think that a hundred years ago this track was here, so the surface changed and grandstands were added, but in an age where stadiums are built and torn down, as the movie says, it's something pleasant. to have a place where sports resonate history and tradition and one of those traditions is the driver introductions here now, Indianapolis Motor Speedway announcer Dave Calabro, ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to the bricks in the yard for the grill start of the 2009 Indianapolis 500, right? ready outside Canada's Indy 500 rookie Alex Tagliani and last year's Florida Rookie of the Year middle Ryan Hunter-Reay on the inside another French 500 rookie Nelson Philippe on row 10 on the outside his third Indy 500 from Venezuela Milka duno his second start also from Venezuela EJ Viso on the inside in his tenth race in Indianapolis from here at home is John Andretti on row 9 on the outside Indy 500 debutant from England Mike Conway in the middle east is not one for BorgWarner Trophy from South Africa Tomas Scheckter and inside in his second 500 from Spain Oriol Serbia moving to room number eight on the outside his third race to the California 500 Townsend Bell in the middle of 500 rookie from Holland Robert Doornbos I'm making his night out from Idaho Davey Hamilton grows seven outside starting our 8 500 from the commercial point Ohio Sarah Fisher Connecticut Scott o'clock I'll be in on his six five hundred from Texas a technical point in the fourth raise six outside his seventh start, England's 500 champion in 2005, Dan Wheldon, his six races at his home Indianapolis track in Carpenter, his second Indy 500 start from Tokyo, Japan, Hideki Mutoh, overseas room 5, his second start from Sheffield, England, Justin Wilson in the middle of its 7,500. of Brazil Vitor Meira Mansa is 600 Indianapolis of Canada ball Tracy of Brazil Rafi Oh Lemas in the middle making his second start from England Alex Roy Indy 500 Carrasco Illinois Danika trip Road three out of his second race in Indianapolis of Australia will drive in the middle making his four starts here from Nazareth Pennsylvania Marco Andretti of Brazil Mario Mariah's - announcer his eight stock car Brazil TK Tony Kanaan Scott Dixon doing the second round in the damn and in row number 1 on the outside his six stars that he won here in 2000 Franchini in the middle starting this time race from Australia and it's 9 stars there you can see the drivers gathering, that's the traditional photo of the starting field in that brick warehouse in Patrick, of course, one of them is the first woman to lead laps. in the Indy 500 and the first woman to win an IndyCar race with her milestones added to her media coverage reaching a saturation point, sometimes it's hard to remind people that underneath that fire suit helmet is some daddy's little girl.

I had premonitions before. I felt like she was going to change, I might tell you something different because she was winning our 810 drives, they all beat me twelve or fourteen miles ago. It's hard for me to understand how determined and focused he was on it so it didn't really seem like there was much work for me when you want something so bad I'm driving over the sandwich we're friends except he keeps chasing me in turn one now it's 24 I'll go out for a light fight was turn one coming from going next to the pipe, the white flag and if you look very closely, she goes over the right foot still on the accelerator.

They chose me, all the guys invited me to the synagogue in September and I asked them to come back, we looked at it like that. which one to do for Leighton so at 16 I went to Europe and went to a school of hard knocks They didn't invite me everywhere They didn't call me very often I don't know, they just left me alone a lot She had a skin heart hard, what do we call it? You know, I was much more reserved and he's cautious. I learned that yes, I had to protect myself from being vulnerable, so yes, I didn't learn much about Rose. like the best photo of all time, I was just walking and walking through the garage to the pits, it's like a problem, yes, my chest comes out a little more, it feels good, it's something you don't see on every tray I take out. about each other, you know it's a cool bar, actually I mean it's fun too, right?

I get rid of all the time. I just saw him look like me and then he comes, the lady comes. Danica Patrick wins, it was almost like it was really happening and then it was just a feeling here I have with this trophy it took a couple of people to carry it I just couldn't believe that first verse, the second thing so different that I am, I didn't need to go to Vicky's flashlight to make me happy, it was more fun, it's the best day of my life. I have dreamed of it. I'm very proud of her.

Happy / place. There was a day in the library. He got a mare. There are many other days that worried the paparazzi and Biown fans. wherever Danica Patrick goes and it's no different as she headed to the car and Danica what most people tend to forget is that you're a Brickyard veteran here, so I'm wondering about those experiences, how do you take advantage of them today? or on a trip to Victory Lane I guess I feel a little different walking into this one than some of the others. I have a kind of underlying calm, but you know the fear of the unknown is still there, you never know what you have until you go out.

So I think you know my experience tells me to make the most of opportunities, but stay calm. I was watching a bunch of races on ESPN yesterday and it's like the ones that won seem like they really came up with it, so I'm going to be smart and let me know now that you have a race announcer who never won the Indianapolis 500 named Andretti, but Michael has many turns. What did he tell you? The key to the win here, well, I think you know Mike has really helped me push myself in the areas that I need to push myself in and you also know that that experience and the drivers' knowledge of when to go and when not to go, I think that's been well and a little bit with the car set up as well and just his experience in all his races here that was worth it for him so we took that and put it in the race car and ready to go Brent there's a new attitude with Danica Patrick and she is my choiceto win the Indy 500, Jack, as you can see, Andretti Green has been very close here in recent years with his current group of drivers and it will be a good thing, Jack, if he lives up to your pick and check out three . generations of true memories, Marco Andretti's races today the patriarch Mario has drunk the milk here Michael, of course, knows very well the anguish that his track could cause.

He is on that long list of great drivers who never want in the Brickyard, unfortunately that list was shortened by one this year with the passing of Laurie Ruby Ruby was a driver and a mainstay of the Indy 500 during the 60s and 70s. One of his His best chance of winning the 500 came in 1969, when he became involved in a battle with a young driver named Mario Andretti. Lloyd from 1969 was probably the last one that really challenged me throughout the race, by the way, you know through this situation, if Ruby is out of the race, he walked away from the connected hose and ripped the neck off the fuel pack . of those who repeatedly like to be a potential winner, it just never happened 2009 Indianapolis 500 broadcast presented by godaddy.com on ABC presented by Firestone the first name in Indy Racing and the top of Brazil experienced well our energy the pagoda the pylon the stands Is it so impossible to come to this beautiful track, see the enormous humanity that surrounds it or feel the roars of the car that thunders on the track and not know that you are in a special place, of course, if you live to run, if speed flows through your veins and through a brick patio? fill your dreams at night then you will be drawn to this sacred ring like no other place on earth it is the biggest race in the world I would rather win ten championships or 185 the answer has to be rather within the planet we have the legends you have the best drivers who have been on the face of the earth you are part of this four time winner of the Indianapolis 500 it is our Super Bowl if you want to win a race put another race to win I am back because I missed driving Indy cars, I miss Indy 500 I was trying to fool myself, I didn't, but our family did, we live our lives around sports and we definitely live our lives around his career, it's actually been 40 years this year so it's going to be very special do it in 2009. our family I think has paid the dues here we're probably a little over the top buddy michael is slowing down michael is slowing down we have a car backwards it's Marco Andretti this track really grabs you and it's not you doing that 500 mile race, the track will choose who deserves to win well, if that's true.

I'll probably lay on her every night and tell her bedtime stories and put blankets on her to keep her warm because I really want the track to want me to do it. You win if you win you will make history if you don't win and you could leave a big scar for the rest of your life. I headed seven of the seven times I've been here, not on the right turn. I mean it was coming out, someone blew an engine, it turned into French. Buddy Rice passed me 15 laps later, it rained and they finished the race.

I was in the lead, my teammate tried to overtake me and we got into trouble and I hit. the wall I was crying I was so excited she didn't say anything because she couldn't I mean she was crying she was struggling so hard to get the team together she built her own team I mean you can't see how hard she I worked all the money, my husband and I have given everything to build. It's in pieces and I don't know how to remove it. It was a very depressing day. It's a place that can take your entire life, but it can.

I also said it much more correctly. I think I have unfinished business. I feel in my heart that I won the race. I was able to pass Helia on the outside three right at the same time. It was also an accident. You know, the yellow one came. and obviously right there I got up and saw that he was continuing ahead. I was screaming and shouting and very happy and then I got a radio transmission sent that problem, you can argue until the cows come home, guy who won, who didn't work on the day's trophy with my face, that's the only thing that It's missing now when you put your face on that trophy and the citrine come true, it was incredible, what a feeling to win the race, it's one of the best feelings, providing an experience when you do it. when you get even hungrier winning again is the one that everyone wants to win changes your life his grandfather won here four decades ago but Marco Andretti has not been happy with his race car this May Marco, how sure are you that?

Today may be the day you drink the milk in Indianapolis. I just think it's a little bit harder for everyone, for whatever reason, this year. You just know I don't have the car I had last year, but we don't think anyone does. I think it will be a very close victory for whoever was able to win, so we are prepared for war. The End Ready family has 60 Indy 500 starts, but only one victory, that's the highs and lows of Indy Eddie Cheever and Scott Goodyear. They both felt those emotions firsthand the year I won in 1998. I experienced those highs and lows in just one race as I turned the first corner.

I got hit from behind and had to pit and when I came out for that first restart. I was the last one at that time, the hiders threw the strategy of caution out the window, I drove as fast as I could and when I passed the start and finish line I remember thinking what that milk is and does it taste like. I have to tell you Scott, he was hot and you know. Eddie, this race track is the toughest in the world and it plays with your emotions. In your case, drinking milk and victory lane was the high and for me emotions were high in 1992 while chasing Allinger Jr.

I crossed the line finishing second and the closest finish here in the Indianapolis 500 and again in '97 chasing Ari, but the heartbreak for me really had to be 1995 while I was leading. I thought they won the Indianapolis 500 only to be disqualified and then denied that final. Left turn you took onto Victory Lane as I was coming down the pit lane so 33 drivers will start this race today but only one will make that special turn onto Victory Lane Brent thank you guys and trucks Mr Motors it will be back to the ABC coverage. from the 2009 Indianapolis 500 in the 500 this is the Centennial era, many things have changed over the years but in the end it all comes down to the cars and the drivers, this classic is one of the absolute beauties on the sporting calendar, an American summer race and Looking back at some of these great cars from the past, each has its own memory and of course this has always been a special tribute to the Armed Forces.

Marni Reeves made good here in the 1998 Indy 500. Eddie Cheever's champion took a gentleman. Hello again everyone, you know as we celebrate the Centennial era. Traditions are built over time, for example. The engine start order was started by Wilbur Shaw in the early 1950s, but I can guarantee you one thing: the 33 drivers with their engines running behind us are worried about tradition, they're worried about the Centennial era, they're not even worried because of its place in history, but yes. worried about concentrating absolutely on the next 500 miles and each of them has to plan and this place will take the start, they concentrate on fine-tuning themselves and their car so they are ready for the end, they have to stay calm, they have to absorb everything what is the race track.

I'm going to give it to them, but I have to add that if there is a young gun and that leading group at the end, that unbridled courage and tenacity could be the wild card to drag a start and a finish, the cars are already on their first flying lap, let's talk. about what's about to happen, the most dramatic moment in all of motorsports, welcome to turn one of the danger zone here in Indianapolis and all these drivers today know that this is the most dangerous start they will ever have in his career and especially for the Rookies: today we have five rookies in the field, four of those rookies already crashed here during practice at the track for the Indianapolis 500 and the key thing we always remember is that you can't win this race and take the first lap, but you can certainly throw it away at that point as you can see the car is already on the home stretch, we'll show the starting grid at the top of your screen and get our final updates before Let's get out of the pit lane.

Vince Welch Europe, but Marty Castroneves of course is in the field today Danica Patrick Graham Rahal Marco Andretti, all famous names you're familiar with if you're a racing fan, but will this be the day an unknown name steps in? become familiar around the world, maybe it's Mario Mariah's? the 20-year-old Brazilian who has been in the news for his speed throughout this month but had never run 500 miles before, whose day will be today at the Indianapolis 500. The key to starting this race is choosing the right time to attack and weave through traffic, but when you build your life around speed, patience isn't always easy, drivers can get all the glory, but from eight to eight.

Ten times today, for nine to eleven seconds, the guys behind me will put everything on the line to get their driver to Victory Lane, but each of these guys wants to compete impeccably because the only thing on their mind is between their performances. God, don't let me be the one to ruin this race, it often takes precedence over life, not just for the drivers, but also for the reason that three drivers in the field Scott Dixon, edy carpenter, Alex Lloyd, their three wives are expecting children. Samantha Lloyd will be born today. She just informed me that she is feeling contractions but it had an impact with her husband and the team they don't say a word why today he is focused on winning the most important race of his career and then he disputes a line and his wife Marty rides a meteor.

The last thing Alex Red wants to hear right now is for the ladies to start his contractions. Here is our godaddy.com. What you should be paying attention to is the most important thing for Leo Castroneves at this moment, even though he won the pole and he and he were the fastest on carburetion day. He won the pit stop competition, he has to make it to the end of the day and that will be a difficult task for him with all the emotions he has. You know the start here in Indianapolis can be really shocking, but he's in the perfect place, even though he's on pole. the air is clear and a great month is over and the super team we talked about earlier on the show, from Scott Dixon to Dario Franchitti, both drivers winning the championship and the Indianapolis 500 the last two years, that's the new super team at Penske I.I think I'm worried now.

I would be worried about you too because you are both veterans. They have everything they know. To get to the front we will have to work together if you don't work with someone today. re and as we've also heard from Roger Penske and Chip Ganassi, you know there are a lot of other drivers there ready to break through and get here in front of Indianapolis and there are a lot of teams like Newman/Haas Racing and KV Racing to have Drake drivers are in under their belt right now and those guys have a chance to surprise everyone here today.

Expect the unexpected. I think you should expect the unexpected, like you said, but you should really take photos of the Penske and Ganassi drivers we have. Eddie was less crowded, but you're at the front of the field, the air is clear, you know who's around you, the further you get, there's so much turbulence you can't really get your bearings on the track because the cars are moving everywhere, let's take a look at Tony Kanaan's drivers, the tremendous emotions 13 countries represented in Lebanon's 33-car field of Americans when they reach turn number 4, they line up in lines of three, the only one where you'll see it happen they make their way , let's explain that party, the rule is that you're supposed to keep three wide all the way - the main stretch solar groups in rows 300 feet apart and then take the green as you enter.

On the frontstretch, no doubt, Eddie Elio Castroneves had fired right there in turn four, we talked about him keeping his emotions in check. I think he's so excited right now that he wants to keep going, even though he's really the guy setting the pace. So maybe if it started as early as it did, the other one smothered the enemy and continued, but in the driver's instructions, Brian Bartow tells them where they are supposed to accelerate and, from here, just as hard to see if they need to. , you will have to reach it. because your first comment is actually true, he said the same thing about driving, but we know the instructions were recently so we'll try this whole thing again since it was just a joke photo of this huge crowd of about 300,000 people that we just met arrive today. a trick, but here we go once again as the field forms.

Taking a look right now, I'm trying to see who it is before we talked about this year, winning the emotions inside the drivers' pockets, right now they are crazy, it's Mario's five cars Mariah has been flying under the radar and has been performed extremely well. Look at that heartbroken expression in the booth, he just can't believe his race was over before the first lap and he was one of the favorites going in, everyone is talking about Dark Horse and he was definitely someone we were all counting on what would happen if when I saw it it looked like it was on the outside and then another car jumped on it and there just wasn't enough room between the wall on it.

Look about a quarter of the distance back and you can start to see the car inside moving up just a little. too much the spotter should have told him that there is a car on his high side on that car that moved up was actually Mario Mariah so he should have known that the other car that I think might have been Marco Andretti was there yeah , it was Marco and You could see that he also had contact with the wall, it is definitely not Markos' fault. The young Mario Morales at the age of twenty-one, one of the young people we talked about at the beginning of the broadcast had the opportunity to break the record of the youngest winner.

His day was over before it really started here on lap number one, it really wasn't necessary because there was a lot of room further down the track, they had all the room they wanted, they weren't up to speed, he didn't have to. being so high is simply that either the spotter didn't give him the right information or he was too busy looking ahead and trying to think what to do with the race, he's standing there wanting to have a few words with Marco, he'll probably try to shake his fist when Marc passes by obviously had entered the pit lane Jack Arute the front wing panel for Marco and Rita's car has been a shield on the left side of the car completely flat as well and voila it is off the car with less than one lap completed in this race, We talked about luck in Indianapolis, this is not Marco Andretti's fault, but the one who starts for the fourth time and finished second in his first 500 four years ago will not finish today.

We'll go together. side for you while you take a heavier fuel for something all day long here at the Indianapolis 500, the 2009 Indianapolis 500 TV Broadcast presented by godaddy.com godaddy.com where you can create your domain website with a name.com for less than a Buck between prescription flomax and Firestone, the first name in indy racing when you look up at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is, let's get an update on the Marco Andretti situation, Jack Arute, yeah, we catch up to Marty, what happened? Marco, the boy doesn't understand. he I will never feel so bad for the Venom boys.

I mean, you know, you would think you know that someone would know that there's someone sitting right outside. I mean, no one inside him, he just has no idea and he was really worried about it. from the beginning and you know for sure when he saw it and where you were, when there was a warning or it happened too quickly. Yeah, I guess the warning should have been who I'm competing against, but you know that's the way it is. Disappointing, I mean, I'm sitting outside the guy, you have no idea, guys, if you look at this accident, it certainly brought closure.

Marco Andretti is a dream today, he certainly did it, but we always talk about risk and reward. Eddie Marcos is right to be angry the other car passed him, but that's really not the best place to be at the start of the race because things like that can happen, we're always better off if you're lower and not too high, and that happens. There's nowhere to go, but I think, to your point, that climb also had a lot of room on the underside. Rious is slower on the outside, he just doesn't even realize that someone may be approaching because he is being watched by the people above him.

I mean, on both sides, I don't know, I totally agree, I agree, I'm just saying it just happened at the wrong time, let's check with Jamie, the rights to little mario have been released and now I'm very upset, we just hear from Marco Mario what it is. your opinion I don't know what he said, you said you obviously didn't know or had no idea what your tape is, I know that hit me okay I was in front I was holding my line and he just hit I don't know about where did you work where are you going now?

I will ask. I'm going to go talk to Marco. Sure, he's okay guys, good news, okay, bad news, first driver out of the Indianapolis 500 field on the first lap. you might want to pull him up to a monitor and take a look at it because I don't know if that will support what he thinks happened there. They are both angry right now. They are both out of the race, obviously they did it. There's a mistake like Scott said he should have listened to his spotter, but I want to say it again at the beginning of a race like that, you have to accept that, you have to put yourself in a position where nothing bad can happen to you.

He said at the beginning of this broadcast that you can't win this race on the first lap, you can lose it and that turn first, the thought has happened so many times, yeah, just ask Scott, he was the one on pole in 2001, he did it. parked against the wall, but they are emotions. that are working because he's heating up to plus 500 just one thing you'll look at, you see, he said he kept the life of him. Muriel Mirage didn't make it with her life, she's squeezed and done, optical, absolutely, she moved to Markos, okay, as you see this huge strong look at the box section Guys, I mean they can't find some empty seats here and we are preparing to return to green flag racing.

There's a view from the top of the godaddy.com helicam, so we've already done five laps, but we'll give it a try. get more than half a lap under green now the race hasn't really started it hasn't even started yet okay let's restart it for you it's Elio Castroneves our poleman up front Dario Franchitti second and then Ryan Briscoe third Scott Dixon Fourth Tony Kanaan fits into Ram Ray Hall six and will boost seven, so while we heard that they will remain under yellow, one more thought that we were going to go one more time for the next race coming up in Milwaukee next Sunday, which we have. on ABC too, but I can tell you from past experiences here, try to understand the words of the viewer at home, weeks working for this moment, the national anthem lasted longer, but you are absolutely right and that is what goes through their mind in this moment. watching everyone, so he's on the track playing on his home field and when America isn't ready, that's amazing, it's a very difficult learning lesson for both of us, he had a chance to win the race today, Eddie, we talked of that, but kV competes with a talented. great engineering team, have stepped up everything last winter.

I talked to them about production, downforce production, which incredible and as we go on, Frank Keeney quickly pulls away and the serpentine, so now with his Franchitti Castroneves and Wisco, while all this goes on just until you that Alex Lloyd had to enter the pit lane with his taillight as we speak, that's going to lose the champion if I run, satisfying what happened, he continued to try and LinkedIn his lead by four times in six five and Marty that first lap turned into almost 218 miles and everyone drivers are wondering exactly now is the morning at least 15 to 18 degrees warmer than we've seen here all month.

Dress up Alex Roy, who repairs Castroneves. Lord is in a tough position right now because that's why the Gotham konna strangers. group in front of it because if you don't they will gobble you up and spit you out at the back, the race will change its strategy, just a little full of fuel, so in that scenario they won't try to just stay here, they will drive. exactly now only twenty five ten thousand one hundred rpm 10 3 is opening the air so Castroneves, who might be detuning his engine a little bit, gives him a little less fuel so he can start putting there are two ways a driver can do it. use the gesture on your steering wheel and return to one hundred percent acceleration until you reach 96 percent Java, the same for all cars and starting with 26 drivers who consume less fuel for nothing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway when the smoothest services They were on the verge of not existing. 12200 came out of the original Transpo, it was two inches of free travel into the fresh limestone and then three million bricks were placed on top presented by GoDaddy at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Dario Franchitti has a half-second lead over Elio Castroneves Dixon is strong and Tony Kanaan, facing the 1986 winner, gives us an update on his situation.

He feels good. He already did only 36 laps last year. I really know how the hundred miles will challenge you. We definitely know he won't finish. He raises another dog. What he is doing now. absorbing all these experiences, what is making the call, but he stays in this field, remember Paul Tracy, well, he has moved to the top 10, he is competing with crazy people for miracles in the ninth position, there he comes too late, she has some unfinished business. here to fight today we really are two groups right now it's the first six - seven Jack, you have more this on the Kentucky Jimmy Vasser on the left side of your screen and talk about this race yesterday that they determined is some kind of The Derby Kentucky, but going back to the final moments, Jimmy just told me that we won't show those we have, a very artistic touch, you can play because it is like that and before you make this plan and nine times out of 10 it changes, but he got.

I think Paul has a Motor Speedway, he's 21st in pit lane right now, he's about to exit turn four and whatever problem he had, he came down and told his team that Ford slowed down right in front of him. him into turn four and probably had to stop accelerating on another short day and these cars are really good at speed, but every time you take off the gas and change direction quickly, all the balance just goes out the window or remember that Ryan Hunter-Reay was the Rookie of the Year last year here at the Indianapolis 500 and unfortunately his day will end and he will finish in 31st place if my numbers serve me correctly, we already have two other cars, now this has changed, we are looking, They both look a little tall and I'm not sure there's any problem there, with the exception of Eddie, who ran out of wine and a little tall coming around the bend and got into that gray area and got up below he for To me, it seems like he is too high, like I said he died.

I didn't really say Ford slowed down. I can, maybe it happened early and we didn't see it, but high last year the same thing happened.High on four is bad. place to be and that's probably the one I think one of the worst airs is that a Nelson, we're getting on board now and that's just a horrible feeling, now this is setting up the first round of pit stops, but they won't open the pits. . until they can get the car out of the pit lane entrance, so this could only take a few laps, so Ryan Hunter-Reay, who finished sixth last year in his inaugural Indianapolis 500 race, will finish in 31st place in the east record The track surely started hungry, yes, there are three cars and we have done a total of 21 of the 200 laps.

Let's look at Danica Patrick, since she started in the top ten. She is running in 11th place right now. Let's listen to the radio, so that's a lot better than what she was saying, during carb day she moved up to third on the speed chart, carb day, the last day of practice we had here on Friday, she said some of same comments that were kind of shaken below He seems to have a lot of mechanical grip on the track, but he also says he's adjusting his front bar and it makes him feel better going into corners.

On Friday we felt that the car was very nervous at the entrance to the corner and at the rear. I wanted to get closer to her, so the team was going to make some changes for race day here today. You know what I really liked about that radio communication she had, because she was totally calm about it, it's the cars, okay, we're making progress. I feel comfortable and she is approaching the race, I think in the right way because it is very early and she is trying to get up. She takes a little shine. Nazzer's information improves, and as the group progresses, you'll be able to dissect her car a little better.

Better Chile is only about a mile, they were wrong and she said in the initial interview, just before getting into the cockpit, that she was very relaxed this year, which helps the driver get through the race and makes the guys understand what is doing. saying in the pit lane a little easy, okay, the pit lane is over, but remember you're going to have to tiptoe a little bit because of the fact that you have debris that you're still cleaning up right there, you can see that our The leader of the race, Dario Franchitti, is really slowing down as they go down the front straight and we prepare for the triple pits of Brazil and Vince Welch, they are making good progress with these three drivers, all three have stress over the course of this week.

They want to make sure the first pit stop is good and solid, build confidence in the team, it won't be the fastest of the day, but they want to make sure it's efficient and there are no issues with the air pressure settings for Dario Franchitti and Ryan Briscoe. Watch everyone as we lift Brazil on pit road Dario Franchitti will remain the leader Ryan Briscoe takes one spot ahead of his team and take a look at Danica Patrick, her team earned two spots for her, moving up from 11th tonight , so there it is. aboard remains there under this caution period, our second as we've had nine total caution laps here at the Indianapolis 500, let's talk about what's going to happen on the NASCAR motorsports calendar now the roundtable is the 5:00 Easter tomorrow on espn2 and then NASCAR Nationwide Series action for you at Dover and that's Saturday at 2:00 and the NHRA will run the O'Reilly and a qualifying cheer for the Summer Nationals on Saturday on espn2 on last Sunday at 4:00 and then of course the Indy cars, well we will be in Milwaukee, it will be on ABC at 3:30 Eastern next Sunday, so we continue under our second period of caution here on lap 26 of 200, our race leader is Dario Franchitti with Ryan Briscoe, Elio Castroneves, Scott Dixon and Graham Ray, their top 5, the biggest loser in that first round of pit stops.

Townsend. Bell lost nine places, had moved up to 12th, and came out 21st the next time. Bye bye, you'll be passing under green, so since we've gone through our first round of pit stops, let's review our godaddy.com rules. the race are yellow for the simple reason that the workers are on the track in danger, we had it earlier this year, in fact, the Firestone tealights race where a driver did that and was penalized and is out of the series for a certain amount of time 22 gallon fuel capacity, that doesn't mean they all put. I saw six men on the wall to do service work.

I guarantee that every time they come out of the pits, but for the last pet stop they'll make sure they're playing too and they could win unless, but you're right, that's a big number, six people over the wall, that's the rule, let me ask you guys, were you getting ready to go back to the cream, everyone says you don't want to be the leader. in the reboot we saw what happened in the first reboot, keep closing here. I'll tell you one thing. Emily or Castroneves are down to four, so the last round of pit stops we had the first time they did the service work is an opportunity for The fit says we see some big dice on the side that will become this star v and a lot of moves up in the air, but the team name watches the battle for second place right now Scott Dixon, last year's winner, once a piece of Ryan.

Briscoe and the Pinskys in the first two or three laps, then the Penskes seemed to get base and got more comfortable, I guess it was Friday as the whole race continues here as we watch Tony sometimes let the pace go seven times never has gone have a little more of that and then lo and behold, during the pit stop, the exit for the outside rear tire changer to send the replacement. We could have done that winter shift with an extra second or something too to have an angry cannon behind him, but we're starting early in the race that way, what's ahead?

What do you learn so far besides the fact that Kaname is 20, but now that was fine coming out and that my costume they only mentioned that maybe that line was? It's not exactly where I wanted to be while you finish enough babies, there's and uh, I don't think so, it looks like he started the first two quarters on the way and he went up quite a bit and I guarantee you that when he got that high, Devon's pants. Paul Scott Burton just arrived on the radio. It seems like they've seen that problem too, so they're trying to get him into the car around the school.

I have a slight history, including our leader, Dario Franhitti, what the curse was for the 500 originally. 30,000 plus 2 is 14 Mary you are seeing 32 of the 39 laps mm very solid return just behind him is Ryan Briscoe looking for his first time I notice it more Briscoe gets very close to Franchitti at the end of the entrance straight There is a lot of load in the curve aerodynamics or training on the field, there is Raphael Matos, he started 12 boxes of something in Danika positions, he is someone I have always gone to for advice on what to do on the track and now that he is present more often I can do the most questions most frequently and I respect them a lot, so I always try to do what he says and because he's my boss, but because he's good, look at the hands, the real one, she's doing some just on the teams in the front end, chat handling. wait, helicopter, that can help you move some weight, just grab that little button on the steering wheel and put some weight on it.

He hasn't been here since 2002, he only ran one race last year, guys, he would do an amazing job and behind me, Miss Vito, a mirror. Tracy is racing and sadecki Muto is the third to call that freight train completing that trio, let's check out in the jungle as a second generation spot near jjcc news, a NASCAR driver in his own right, has taken on the responsibilities of the fourteenth ABC Sinatra. Ro told me, he says he cleans his car until he finishes second twice and eight times in his career, that's still too much for the entire race, all of you back in the brick yard, let's check with the race leader, there There is Dario Franchitti. /10 of a second ahead of Scott Dixon Kelly, okay, happy to give you that was 540 cops out of 200, welcome back to the capital of motorsport, your leader Dario Franchitti and a second ahead of Ryan Briscoe may have enough damage to to make it seem. she may have filled in chunks, well you could see the white on the outside of her tires, she certainly has grazed the wall, now look at this, coming around the bend in that gray area and catches it, they're following it and giving them ten grand . points so it's not just a white wall that was on the Weber board what problem now that's also happening to a bike the problem you have is going to have some damage possibly Brienne Pedigo higher pressure setting so I'm not shaking but sliding Your dog gives a little more courage, but now they have turned off the engine.

I'll get back to you as soon as we know exactly what the oven does. Dornbos raced here in Formula One, in the 500 it seems like a maybe, I think. so nothing scarier than having to spin has actually been there before and you should get up and they say they can fix it and you're upset because it was you, you could say that spinning around and suddenly Franchitti falls again while we were putting the point on Robert Doornbos, we have a change for the lead and suddenly Brisco and his team analyze Dario Franchitti by his teammates and engineers this month in the garage about the duration of fuel consumption to do.

Make sure the car doesn't fall off in those last five or eight laps and what happens sometimes is the tires start to disappear. Then look how our strategist's cars finally got into traffic. Take a look at the top of your screen. Brilliant. draft coming out of a four, so there's no doubt that Dario Franchitti had a much slower pace in turn four than he did before Ryan Briscoe was just killed right behind him. Now look back from Frankie's Park, here comes the first thing, get involved well. and clean that was the perfect execution that's how you keep up with the risk oh yeah, chopped that's right and now finally the kids are trying to catch ryan briscoe crystal has four cars in front of them and they're all piled up, which one is the The worst kind of traffic you can have, so you have a check you could pay, even though you are too far behind.

The happy point here we will find out, the race begins and during the pets we will start again and it seems that it is turn number four. since we have our third yellow flag of the day with a car against the wall, in the same corner in which he crashed, which took him out of the event, that is on lap 36, last year it was on lap 56 of this year and Graham with his team for that Martin Newman Hannes. Lanigan Racing have brought some of the ship's drivers to the Speedway Mario Andretti Nigel Mansell the team has never won you have to wait to get back to looking like a pretty good robbery cornered under the Besson wing I would say it's a pretty good coup no I'm going for , I mean the first thing I want to see again.

I got back out before it's hard, it started probably 400 yards before we saw it on the screen and there it hit the safest barrier and you can see it just hit the safest barrier. where the two marks are on the wall, look at the edge of us right now hitting the safest barrier and then the concrete wall starts coming down the straight, that steel and foam energy reduction system that's been employed here for the last years. really helped the water push Braham out of the car, he seems fine, let's go back to last year and it will look like deja vu again, only a different color just got behind someone who was entering pit lane, no He had time.

That's right, you give it a little air from the front wing, you get into that gray area, Eddie and you lose direction, the steering wheel goes light and bang, let's look ahead and see what happens here, it seems like some kind of scenario here in the car you are testing. put gas in it and you know something is when you have to have a little more patience and experience to bear fruit that was almost a photocopy of what happened last year he was dodging a car that was in front of him I don't think It was a matter of air, you just had to give up a spot from time to time.

He still had Kanaan breathing on his back. He was in a hurry and simply went to the wrong place. There is no grip on the outside of the fourth period. so if you keep racing there he will eat your lunch later and it's a shame because he was really having a good race, yes he was and we mentioned some of those names that have driven for Newman/Haas Lanigan here at the circuit, we mentioned to Mario. of course, Nigel Mansell, Michael Andretti, Paul Tracy, Bruno, Jim Garrett and winning here in the 500, I mean, it was almost a bluff that helped him have that, I'm not saying from the wrong place, but he had it under pressure, okay, they are currently closed. but here's an opportunity we've had a couple of times, two stops for drinks now the kids are closed which means we must be running out of gas, see they put enoughfuel and put enough fuel and kiss him again. speedway Eddie is ready for another one on the track, he will have to commit again when the pits are open for his regular tire service work and if he wants to make a change to the car he can only do it then, but that will put him in a really bad position until the end, yes, because I was running in six feet or the carrier was and now, as you said, he will fall back into the clutches of the pack at this time, I wouldn't want to be in 50 feet before, it wasn't Vitor Meira who made that call.

I mean, he was just running out of gas, obviously he didn't get as good gas mileage as maybe some of the other guys. I wasn't saying if it's anyone's fault, I'm just saying it's a bad stroke of luck because he had his car up to 6th position, okay, we talked about this at the beginning, we are preparing for now a few more pit stops and not before Getting into that, let's get an update from Jack Arute. The tone suggests an open field, guys, and it's more fortuitous than it was because not only was Paul Tracy fuming, but so was Tony Pann. at 422 claws over the line, but it's been 35 laps since their last pit stop and that's stretching out the window as much as we estimate anyone could, so here they come all led by race leader Ryan Briscoe, Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon, his first three sixties. miles per hour is the pit lane speed and a couple of cars will be left out EJ Viso in 13 I'm also Alex Roy remember it's one lap down, let's rip it to pieces walsh ryan briscoe will be first in the box he reported a small vibration Roger Penske consoled Eve said no problem, let's change the tire, it will wobble, Scott Dixon who is at the top of the screen will disappear, second stop, there will be no changes for Dario Franchitti the rest of the way our Brazil highlight race out of the pits Scott Dixon got a place that cost his teammate Dario Franchitti Tony Kanaan moved up a position and watched the speed in the number 18 car can become dangerous and while Justin Wilson and Vitor Meira simply they move the Hideki Mutoh sodas and did you notice that that team member at the beginning didn't even know he was coming?

I was ready for him to come in so it was too hot in pit lane and it costs Justin Wilson dearly so as we continue our third warning here Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be back after this message from our ABC stations over the years . It's worth the pagoda that now, of course, houses all the grace control that you can see on this huge race track and makes your decisions about when and when not to start. Now, when you look at what happened here today, two of the brightest young American pilots have been eliminated before. Marco Andretti and Graham are done, but guess who's moving up?

Danica Patrick is on the move, her pit is white in front of the announcement booth here. Marty, he's had two phenomenal pit stops, he got two spots in first from 11th tonight and this time he goes from ninth to seventh jackaroo LeMond during the pit stop competition Danica Patrick was in first was smoked by Dario. amazed at how badly they were beaten, they went back to the garage, practiced and practiced and the practice began to pay off, but the irony is that Marty, as fast as Danica Patrick has been well, LEL Castroneves, who won the stoppage competition Pickles, it's been a little slower today, is this a case of deliberation on Team Penske's part?

Well, it would be interesting to know. I know they don't like to give up some positions in the pit lane. Nobody likes it, but it has fallen back to fifth place, now it is the lowest. has been at the race today and you can see the white sticker that is on the right rear of many of these tires. Here are the shipping stickers and they have the nickname sticky tires. The new tires haven't been used yet and a lot of teams put on new tires during pit stops and those suckers will stay there until they make a tight turn after the green flag, but the passive drivers are out of their beds, there it is When they're on their best day, that's when we're always asking for stick. the tires like drivers checked their way and the reason was garlic.

One of them in his Franchitti came into their group, so Castroneves checked at the last minute, but Castroneves obviously checked last time, but otherwise Team Penske is pleased with the way things have gone . away Jamie, a little bit, I mean, basically, when we all caught traffic, you know, I was staying in the hole. Milko, it was going down like he wouldn't let everyone buy it, he was going fast enough that no one could get a buyer, so I went into it. pool and I just tried to stay now with the ball the same tonight in the middle of last year, probably this time last year, but this morning because McDonald's and we are just trying to count it and just cover it up, it's frustrating while you finish, Ryan Briscoe is Wow, I mean, Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti, just blistered it and that's it, in deep trouble, Penske is in deep trouble, babies don't see that Paul Tracy look as he's proven at 11 to the National Guard Dan Wheldon he's handling a big job and so slowly he needs like a moving chicane that's what's going on Brian Briscoe just came on the radio says I don't know what's wrong too early to make any kind of bet that's already just going come on it's now and this goes The cost right now is just we have some people.

Christ, what a car you saw, but the front there was a now, like they fixed everything last year, his career is over, stop, maybe something broke when we see Tony coming. Now as you start going forward, the other thing that can also happen with Eddie is that these cars run on staggered tires, the right rear is bigger than the left and sometimes if you cut those tires, they move along. along Cirie, a pit stop, Tony's thing. a lot of people follow us, another guy, what mana does he have behind me, let's restart this for you. You've got Tosun right behind him, Patrick and she's learning all of a sudden trying to get into the mix and doing really well.

My coach is a lucky guy. throw to the deck she makes it without any problem he has more experience under his bag he has gone up if he has ever participated we concentrate on this race Eddie I don't care how much experience you have in this first those are the letters here the interesting thing about it fact that she has been here said a little worried because it will be YouTube and started watching Evelio Castroneves from previous races said I will use everything I can seventy-two five others we can tell them that he is 59 live while you continue to see the mottos of the coverage aerial of the Indianapolis 500 presented by so as we take a look at the action that continues here, things have really gotten interesting up front, it's still Dixon Frankie D and channel one and three, it's going to be good stay with us the 2009 Indianapolis 500 godaddy.com you need to turn left you're the man with the dotcom name Boost Mobile what unlimited plan was Motor Speedway Scott Dixon, blazing leader in last year's v Indy 500 winner who leads and Franchitti by almost a second for Danica Patrick is fifth and Elliott after the position now his teammates Franchitti behind him Franchini is somehow taking care of accelerating with our as you mentioned the defending champion is Maties, a credit to his engineer , Eric Brett Minh has been Dixon's engineer since 2002 thousand seven as a member of the end, he also has an exceptional car today, they did the bare minimum when Tony Kanagawa was rubbish, he went to find another end and you try.

She loved it so much that she appropriated it, they changed the color scheme and now it's in the family salute that she did to the car and she really likes Danica Patrick's engineer, you know, five mottos that she might notice, they carry the colors of the air from United States. strength and even a seven-year-old man from Brazil is proud that Castroneves is now running six that a farce Elio has won here twice and will spin the star for the competition why he is so good here Tim Syndrich, who manages his strategies, focuses wants to win every time and today it is again Jack Arute, boy, any face, pitiful Castroneves, this is your chance to take videos right now, they are just crossing the successor, the King, you are here today, since he is beyond today.

With respect to Dan Wheldon, they do. He decided that being out of the race, the number eight engineer is the guy who's going to carve out his teammate while a spoon took part in sending Mario Maurice to catch his PT teammate in Townsend. The Bao guys hook up and chop and dice for the next 20 laps, guys, thanks. for the update guys good job on our updated race now later the surge is coming and then there's our race leader Scott Dixon followed by what do you say you'll see some white trim when you look there a time he had arrangements, God knows with a spotter because he's right in front of PJ or turns back, they wait for the spotters to gather and let EJ know that the leaders are coming after him and he just slipped right away, it's my illustrator , I'm not going to go too low apparently trying to move now he moves in and lunges that's what you said increases just a little Scott sure the fries that many mentioned maybe three just a little before demonstrates an experience we tell you that you do that soon in that confrontation in the turn just cut a fire in the wrong Lu Tony Kanaan gets tired of not really and it seems that it is Davey Hamilton in the 44 and it is like he has marked the wall and now we have caution here in Indianapolis of This year, you heard him say loose, bad, loose guys, the worst thing in this place, well, they would be the crowd's favorites here.

The ninth star of him. I remember in June 2001 he had some very serious injuries to his foot and ankle. He was away for six years and returned three years ago. I've been back to run the race since then and where the fans really admire it and let's take another look at what happened there again on the high side Eddie, we've seen this so many times before and making room for the cars behind so early. As you come out of that black zone which is where all the rubber is on the race track and where the grip is, you go up that slope and then you just get sucked in and straight into the wall, we're going to take you back to that moment in 2002. .and this was terribly scary, in fact, Eddie Cheever, you're in on this, you're the one who makes it, I'm the one who makes it, or I remember seeing that and I knew from the beginning that it was horrible because he crashed into the wall and it was just one of the most moving things I've ever seen in my life and it's someone driven by passion.

Davey Hamilton just loves this place and works so hard to get here and it's sad to see him in trouble today, but you can't be. altruistic when you go three and four you have to hold your line even if there are faster cars behind you, if you get up high that's what happens, there's just no grip up there and you can even look at the tires, you can see everything. the rubber debris that builds up on the race track is actually on top of the tires because that's how far out of the groove he got and a standing ovation from everyone there who really knows and respects what Davy has done and has been the driest Rhine Bowl. team and we talked to those guys, Eddie, and they told us that he's really been the leader and helping them get the setups and really pushing John and that group to understand how to make our little straw remember that he qualified in the first weekend, he's practically ready to Yo, as a great driver, he has a lot of experience here in the bubble and I think you would have to recover from what he did when he told me who was going to race again.

I looked at him and said, have you lost your mind? and Davies a note of distinction, he was the oldest driver in the field at the age of 47. John Andretti, the second oldest. I'm sure he will thank me for reminding everyone, but how much he loves him, he has persevered, we prepare. for the pit stops now with caution, let's talk a little bit about strategy, keep your eyes on Elio Castroneves because he has had pit stops where he has been backing off and let's keep our eyes on Danica Patrick, she had her last two stops where she got two important places.

It's time for the driver to make sure to leave the car in front when entering pit lane and there is now a speed limit of 60 miles per hour. When I started coming here, there was no history of top speed limit and then I came. pit lane at high speed is now 60 miles per hour a lot of pressure on the team they trained to do this every day to make sure the tires get to the fuel and as fast as possible but it's useless you can practice everything. you want, if the driver does not reach his marks, it is impossible to put and remove thosetires successfully.

I press in every way. You can see right now the humans are ready as you mentioned hit your marks when you come in that's your Nevison needs a good here our Jack talked about responsibility the cruise this is there a moment I said let's prepare for our apex Brazil from triple pence sixty miles per hour the pace car just crossed the brick yard all our broadcast position Jack arute us I'll put it to you Scott Dixon triple defending champion on the phone Dario Franchitti so that Danica Patrick never slows down again thanks for the way that way is Dario Franchitti getting a place over Dixon Kanaan stays the same Castroneves makes up one position back to four lemmas drops one position Danika will, they came in sixth and seventh place, they will stay there so let's take a level look at the race and it was this close when Frankie D overtook his teammate Scott Dixon, okay, we're down. a fourth caution here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and we are not even halfway to the caution for the fourth time as we have completed 87 laps of the Indianapolis 500 broadcast presented by GoDaddy and a reminder of the that the NBA playoffs become more exciting than they are. have finished last week, will continue on ESPN Monday night Kobe Bryant to the Lakers face Carmelo Anthony from the Nuggets game for the Western Conference Finals and the Lakers in dramatic fashion won game three last night, so that New Zealand's Scott Dixon just took over, has this young man been out here on the track in the rain?

In the 2007 race he was second a year ago he wanted to and he led 115 laps here today he is already the leader for 22 more laps, which means that in the last two hundred In eighty-seven laps in Indianapolis, he has been the leader one hundred and thirty-seven times and he talked about being the defending champion and coming back as defending champion as something he'd never experienced before, but you know, I think I'll come back and have the confidence of what one year did to me and come back and try to prove the point again and try to get others 500, you know.

I think having that taste of what it was like the first time makes you try a little harder. and try to try again, Marty, there's a quick key here, no doubt, and the Iceman gets really hot when he puts the helmet on, so now he's in control, right behind his teammate Dario Franchitti, already which is a goal. Ganassi hits a one-two on Tony. Kanaan is Castroneves is fourth among our best rookie in fifth position and means the defending champion of the Indy Lights Series, so a good run goes for number two o'clock and then he will push into sixth position and Danica Patrick ground balls seven that we have checked. on your radio just a few moments ago, okay, the reason we played 10 is pretty obvious if you watched last year's race because remember what happened with Ryan Briscoe and Danica and that's a situation where this tight pit lane leads to a confrontation of many, many. times the leg you said saw that last year so she's trying to get a warning out right now so maybe the

official

s will mention something to Team Penske and boost her willpower and she's being smart in that effort to make sure she doesn't get caught.

Something happened again in Briscoe and Danica both crashed, that allowed the exit. The incident says to contact Jamie Little and Davey Hamilton now. It was Friday. You said it was a top 10 card. Davi was not the case today. What happened? led to the accident we may have lost a little bit the end result the HP car kingdom car was we were okay for a while and then at the end the racing started to go slack the rear end kept coming off and I just went there and I got into three. and I got loose and I just had to chase him down the track so he didn't spin and I barely touched the wall, but as soon as you took the marbles, you ended up here, so I'm lucky from the beginning because we've certainly been a team. leader all month and will watch from the sidelines as his three teammates continue to compete, thanks Jamie, and it's a tough break before Davis, his day is to get back to the man position because why go back to the lap of the leader and then everyone?

Suddenly, he had a bad set of tires and went down like a stone. Vince, what's the latest on the six cars? Well, I just talked to Roger Penske and he told me we're not really sure what the problem is. They had changed that stage at that pit stop. right before Brisco and reported the initial problem and of course said they didn't have any right front grip so they had to make that pit stop about 20 laps ago, like you mentioned they were left back there on the lead lap, the car is better. but it's not perfect but it's better Marty yeah he fit in 24 this is where the draft will happen and it'll be hiding on the side of your TV plenty of room with no team orders so those guys drove races for themselves and there's some next to each other.

Wow. I'm not so sure I've reached out a bit about that before, I'm just comfortable that you haven't done enough damage to maybe cause a problem later or something as big as worse that they wouldn't do behind a guy that doesn't mean they I don't know how Tony is still trying to bend over and make some adjustments using it looks like he definitely has these lemons the fronts have a slight steering that becomes very imprecise we start to close can't you absolutely Jackie? I didn't talk to many people in the general area this month and they say the cars seem to have a little less grip this year than last year and I'm not so sure it's not the Pynchon change that the road has.

Cars used to have three options, 118 adjustments in the racing part and came to a standard wheelbase of one hundred and twenty-two inches for all. Here's the key point, the last test they did was a test that was done on 128. 20 numbers are full like you're thinking and six Danica Patrick a little further back with nachos here Pacey is a trap, it's all you can , he stops where he has to, he has no security in the season and Shaquille O'Neal turns into indigo. I tried to explain to him the true use of the cars, okay I want to risk the right front tires, that would be some attack, let's check Danny, this was a car we drove over the wheel, this to get to a hundred pipes, why no?

Don't you meet very intelligent drivers who will have to start removing downforce from the car and you will find them as a father to win and be the first woman to win? Check out Scott Dixon from Fit Leg Scott, he is 7 years old. -Eleven by Tony Kanaan against the wall hard for the second year in a row. I don't know what happened in this one, guys, because when we saw it, no one thinks that the flu shot in the car stops, the Delphi security team is right there take for your family watching at home they know Tony is fine. is moving inside the cabin and for his son Leonardo Tony said he was going to be watching today his son is only two years old and Danica Patrick gave him a gold card to use when he comes of age and Tony said: I hope he doesn't get into car racing, you see how he was sitting in the car he wants to get out of, but that doesn't happen at all; stay away from the doctor, that was so It's sad to see this great driver have some kind of problem before watching the replay to see what happened, but it's okay, something absolutely broke, but here's the bad thing, absolutely, the second half was even worse.

Take another look, but that's it. at the end right there it could be a straight shot, it just swerves, yeah, this guy is just out of luck here and you saw Tony making adjustments to his steering wheel that had nothing to do with the first impact, the second impact. you mentioned he has no control right now Eddie, we've both been in that position before his brakes don't work, the cars aren't even on the ground properly and he's just a passenger who knows he's going to hit the wall almost with all probability. 205 or ten miles and the worst thing is those four seconds because you know you can't do anything, you've had a big hit and you're going straight off that wall and there's nothing you can do so you're almost counting down to where you hit. and he's very lucky that the walls aren't as hard as they used to be.

The sad part also for Tony is that as we prepare for another round of pit stops, we have more radio communication here is Danica's radio, well, there has been the father figure to everyone else on the team, Danika, protecting Muto and certainly Marco, and even after last year, when Marco caused the incident that put Tony up against the wall last year, he took the high road and always asked, "Let's get you back as we can show you." What happened last year with Tony Kanaan heading into turn three and here comes Marco doing a Banzai move very early in the race which was a very dumb move, there was no reason to do it and Tony Kanaan ended up paying the price he almost saved. but then he got hit by Sarah, that's one of those things that happens and when you're the lead driver and in a team like that, obviously you have to bring in the younger drivers because they're your teammates, but when a teammate does it something like that it's time to sit him in an office and say look, that's important, well his streak of leading each and every Indy 500 he's participated in now ended with seven, no one comes close to that part seven four seven seven four seven now seven out of eight and qualified.

He is always in the fight room in the first two rows. He has always been sixth or better. This year he had 16. But unfortunately, as we mentioned, he simply can't get the rest he needs to lay down that very popular finishing shot. I think everyone understands the enthusiasm he has for the sport and he always recovers from these problems the next time. I try even harder. They did it last time here. Its effect is also that this race here in Indianapolis also awards points for the race. championship that Konami was leading in when we came here to Indianapolis and that was also when you saw Marco Andretti return to the track so you can earn championship points tonight 500 today, all right, here come your race leaders in the pit lane .

Set up our Apex Brazil problem pits and heading into the big debate before leader Scott Dixon's car 9 was whether or not to pit because they haven't been banned on those tires, but my Colin Scott debated that on the radio if They would come, but everyone believes that because there was so much debris on the runway, they would play it safe by entering and moving forward. Oh, the experts will come out of pit road. He gets two spots. Jackaroo, the Verizon Wireless Penske device they also had. They took a good look at the tires, not for wear, but they thought maybe he had picked up some debris from Tony Kanaan's accident, but again, in typical Penske fashion, what they did was push the lap before the pits opened. slowly to the front of the front stretch and they saw the tires they said the pressures look good so they burned fuel only 22 gallons and he's waiting for track position, he gave a couple of spots here on pit road, that's the way to do it, but we are at the right time.

Halfway through lap 100 and that's Dixon Franchitti and willpower. Now let's get on board with Elio Castroneves and watch the sparks on the frontstretch as turn three turns dramatically right. Something broke in the right rear of that car and sent it straight into the wall. Now here we are with Tony Kanaan, he makes a little adjustment and something in the back broke, the back started sliding to the left and then the second hit and like you mentioned he had a lot of time to think, thank God for the barriers safest we have. We will return after this message from our ABC stations.

Well, here we are under our fifth caution for 31 laps with Scott Dixon leading. Dario Franchitti will push Rafael Matos, the rookie in fourth place, and 10 Leo Castroneves spin in this top, well, she dropped four. her last pit stop and this is what happened, take us through it, the guys slid to the position where she is supposed to stop, the team has to get back up, push her back into position and the reason more important reason, although the tire changers were able to advance. and change her tires, she went too far, Eddie is too fast, you can't change a tire at some point because this is the fuel door didn't open, she was too far ahead but it wasn't the time to go, she drops four positions and always we talked about having To drive the perfect race there is an example that can cost you guys, remember we were talking about the debate that Mike Hall and his driver Scott Dixon were having about whether or not to pit and Mike Hall said that there is so much debris in the track, I think I need to go in Scott just in case look what they took out of the right rear tire of Scott Dixon's race car this piece of metal if they hadn't gone in when they did it would have ended our raceDefending champion and current race leader Scott Dixon, that was definitely the right decision, right?

My call is pretty good at this stuff and that's what surprised me, but the Willpower team is sending it out with just fuel and no tires after a big crash like that, well Scott has been one of our four lap leaders. , let's take a look at Firestone's lap rankings as we prepare to go side by side. Dario Franchitti is the man who leads with 50 laps, we are behind him with 35 and then the two Team Penske cars stay with us. in the old days, the roadsters, then in the '60s, look at the progress that was made here at the old Brickyard, now the bricks are still there, but there is about 16 inches of asphalt on top and here today defending champion Scott Dixon is our leader, we have completed 105 laps and we welcome you back to the broadcast of the Indianapolis 500 presented by godaddy.com and a reminder of the show tonight, a world premiere miniseries from ABC about the quest for justice of a woman who ignites an international race to possess the most valuable stones ever seen.

Judy Davis cut diamonds against tonight at 9:00 ET 8:00 central time on ABC talking about international, there's a young guy and the Penske team called Willpower that jumped up to third place behind Ganassi's super team, there's willpower. and I guess you could describe him as a triathlete. Wheelz is a young man who works out five to six days a week and that fitness regime includes swimming, cycling, running and rowing, so you're talking about a fit athlete. drive the 500 miles so let's find out the rest of the story about TK and Tony Kanaan what happened to him Jamie well we're questioning his physical ability you just limped out of the medical center what happened I don't know anything about Jamie He broke in the middle straight and hit the wall head-on.

I think the cameras caught it on the first hit and then I took a wild turn. I mean, at this point I just rest my head on the headrest and close my eyes. and I knew he was going to be great. I mean, I'm pretty beat up. I mean, I have a tank. You know my boys and then the people from San Vicente who whip me into shape because it looks like they just gave me a big beating. time but and take the security team because the parts are pretty safe we ​​get to 100 you're standing here talking to you there we go we're coming towards me walking up I mean being in this place again one more time but let me say hello to my son in house because he got a little scared if he's two years old and he's at home watching, we hope you're feeling better, Tony Kanaan's boys, Brian, just as Tony Kanaan's stay ended, so did the day of the Serbian oriole as loss of pressure from fuel and it was fatal for your team Oriol you are doing so well you started in 25th place you had risen to 10th. can you describe the frustration?

Yes I can, it's the easiest, I mean, it was amazing, the car was amazing, everything was going according to plan. picking up points and restarting and every pit stop, I mean them, the machine was amazing, so it's just one of those things in racing, you know, and I think we have a shortcut, I mean, the car was running well and all of a sudden it stopped so it's a shame because they put so much effort into being here and I have to thank Bobby Ray and David Letterman and Africa for giving us the media and Scott Ramsey and his stuff on the whole team for doing it was fast, it really was a car to win and I felt that way.

I was just moving along, we were right in the middle of the race and we were all ready, then one day I felt faster than everyone around me all the time, it's just that. It's racing, you know, I mean, it happened to all of us, unfortunately, it happened to the one race that we all want to win, we talked about the ups and downs of Indy, guys, this is the side you don't want to be on and he. It becomes our sixth car out of the race here in this 2009 edition of the Indianapolis 500. Take a look at the leaders right now.

The team's target is Ganassi Dixon and Frank Keeney, with the willpower of Rafael Montes and Elio Castroneves completing the top five. Have our analysts answer your questions here at the booth with the Boost Mobile Mailbag. Let's go to espn.com. The search was done to analysts. Now the first question comes from Greg, which team has a better chance of beating the Pen Skis or Chip Ganassi, Steve Fellows, Salyers I? I think the rookie while he is with a team owned by Jade Penske Roger Penske sang that the Veloso Dragon team ran very hard last year, some events they ran and a great experience and he is staying calm, he is being patient and you have to get to the order to have a chance to win this race, so I agree that now everything is going well before that, it's not a surprise, it's amazing, isn't it?

There's no Penske around here and he's an independent operative, I mean Jay and the news or on his own there, so they take care of that multi back in the race even though he's 41 laps down and Ryan Briscoe is back . We also give a nod to Alex Tagliani, then he jumped on it. fight as we get back to green flag racing he has a chance to move everyone he does it safely keeps Dixon funky ^ cash and restarts are always a good time to take advantage of any opportunity to talk because everything That comes together, you can see. this snake coming down the stretch right now seemed to be right he has to work with his teammate look at the distance between impressive and you mentioned Briscoe is now back on the lead lap so he has to make sure he can take advantage of everyone who gathered together. together some action that was six dollars of great impact the first week here on the circuit he did not get to eat he does not say that when scoring that was John the door lost a couple of places 13 richard is still here to continue there is Tomas Scheckter Also in the mix, desperate, they try to get to the end and look at me, we show you the video very well here.

The addition is 85, let's look back at the race leader as Dixon and Frank Keeney has opened up for a second, it's really an indicator of what a team sport it is because the drivers have had Scott Dixon's team not adjust his car, a minor change on these cars placed on the grid, that's a credit to the engineers there, it's human. all month and these guys from a setup perspective have been spot on, they've saved unnecessary fuel, they're fast, they've got the downforce and they look unbeatable beyond the halfway point, three rates for her generally talk about the super team and they talked to Roger Penske and Chip Ganassi and Ganassi admitted that he said they are the ones we are going to chase here in the Indianapolis 200, the target is her, he thought, peace, so rookie dragon Rafael Montes as we look down, courtesy from our GoDaddy and You can see how huge these two points are in the back.

Do you see the golf course? Four of the holes at the Brickyard Junction are inside the racetrack, that's right, and it's a real pleasure to live around here. The third place car. There you can see the willpower. Jack Arute, what's going on guys? Remember that generation didn't change policy or experience race when they join this big experiment today, obviously they're trying to be leaders for my team to see in terms of what they can do with this nice car. you're putting a hundred percent fuel into the car and you get less horsepower, so the driver of your complicated Eddie Cheever or otherwise can be done by maybe leaving a higher gear whenever we can, trying to reduce engine RPM when you're on the track, Pink Floyd, boy, Pink Floyd, and it's coming up at number 99.

Memory was one lap away from those who were back on the lead lap right now and if you're with us Before, his wife is one of the two who are expecting a baby. Let's raise gadgets, how serious is it to take Samantha to the end of the race? Oh, five minutes or babies, as well as until the end, one concentrates on the race, waits for his little girl, this is a Delphi security team ready for this, the neck of a story to the televisions we said still alone or under caution, laughter, let's check again in advance because you still have willpower about a second behind second place, so it seems like we talked at the beginning, we're starting to focus on the DC championship chase is this Motor Speedway, It's still Dixon and Frankie running here, those top five now 1:30, so 70 laps to go guys, so Ganassi has the measure to have two chances if someone's going to pass.

The NASA cars will have to stop and the sprint cars had practice, so these guys are not just in a loan class, they are almost an unstoppable place because in the back pit stop there is still debris and we have a right side . back now, don't forget he hit the wall and then he did it, sometimes he hit the wall and came back 10, 20, 40 laps later, but now we can see he's off his tits again like we've seen so many times today. for so many drivers and it turns gray and he just walks the race car down the track and hits the wall that is not rubbing against the wall, twenty five is not afraid, but if you were testing you would go in immediately when they come to take a break, let's take a break.

I had something like two hours, I'm very aware that he has to come to the pit and he was two laps down in 24th position and he was one of our five rookies, so again the experience factor you were talking about. absolutely comes into play and what Brian Barnhart likes these drivers to do is if you're off the pace towards the end of the race, you have to get out of the way and watch the drivers finish so we're under our sixth yellow flag here . they're still closed and they'll have to go around again here they do, that will remind you that this Wednesday, ABC's big summer hit, Wipeout is back with new obstacles, crazier contestants and even take our Wipeouts, maybe watch Wipeout, the season premiere is Wednesday at 8:00 ET, 7:00 central on ABC, took a good look at the beat bar, its shitty card or pretty sharp, we have a camera on board there , is what to do with your angry car, would you get 19 to 8, don't you remember? who asked me this question every year and I keep telling you I don't have it anymore okay let's take a look at our fires don't laugh leaders and you can see we've sent four different leaders and Scott Dixon to let the Most of the sixty-five, in fact, Dixon was thirty-eighth in the all-time lap leader rankings at the start of the race.

He has now surpassed guys like Juan Pablo Montoya, Danny Sullivan, hello, the Wilcox gym representative, Peter Chicken, and a guy named Elio. Castroneves Scott, who do you think is in a position to do it? You talked about teammates running together to throw cards up front and you have willpower, and Castroneves, even though they are on different teams, are really under the Penske banner if you had mentioned that. The power is working more, so Dragon with the Je Pense Keys team and although they can work individually with each other, you can be sure that in the pits to talk to each other they say we have to get there.

I'm just not sure they did. speed for everyone right now, Marty, well, and I was limiting the amount of time we spent in the pits, guess who is leading in that department, our race leader, Scott Dixon, two minutes and 20 seconds so far and as As the race progresses and those numbers continue to add up, explore. that if we have at least one more round, if you stop after this, the willpower disappears when you jump, if we take a look at our apex, presumably it is willpower on the left, even if you get off, you will be licking and the other side. about that Eddie and we talked about a fuel spill here we have now with part 14 the representation of C in his room Vitor Meira is in trouble there as if they had that fire and they had extinguished it quickly and because we saw these four Franchitti who could be Same situation here, everyone is in a hurry to make the fastest pit stop because the end of the race is approaching.

Remember the video we showed you in the 1969 race that the late Lloyd Ruby said that too soon he blew a hole. the fuel cell and this is what the fire looked like as you can see it's the ethanol and Boyd and you can see the Buckeye here on the left side of the screen on the spring all from the inlet nozzle that goes. to put the fuel in the tank, so no doubt the car was leaving before it had come to a complete stop now the process is someone tells them to go, let's go Jack was covered in fuel and suffered some minor burns on his eyes, but Vitor Meira, quick action by ABC, don't buy the security team, they covered the whole car with water, you wouldn't dothat with your passenger car, but with ethanol what it does is disperse it and the key to Craig Baron's house is, we know the boss. mechanical and crank, what is the fuel condition of it?

The probe is broken, guys, and this is the big problem. Now the tar has been returned to me. They have to completely replace the tube section before they can put it back in. There's a bit of a commotion down here right now, but everyone seems to be. Did you see the flames that surrounded it and what do you think? How do you know if he doesn't have burns under his helmet? The water is still floating. There's so much going on in the cockpit, if any of that water is an electronic component the car will stop, obviously it's a moment you don't want to happen in the race and take a look, I mean you'd think right now.

This is serious and Vitor Meira is back on the track. Awesome, we're on the track here at the 2009 Indianapolis 500 broadcast presented by godaddy.com and we're under our sixth yellow flag with lots of fireworks literally in pit lane like a Let's catch you up with our recap of the career of artisans. Our current leader is Scott Dixon. He has led 69 laps so far today. The biggest driver of the race has been Alex Tagliani from 33rd right now, running 11th in this field and you've had four different leaders with five lead changes and we've had six cautions, we're currently under that sixth release, with luck will be our last average.

The running speed is nowhere near the record of forty-eight point seven miles per hour. Well, we have Scott Dixon. Elio Castroneves and us one, two, three and Paul Tracy moved to fourth place. Dan Wheldon is v, then Townsend Bell is sixth and followed by Dario Franchitti and Frankie D, we were ready to talk about his problems in the pits when we saw what happened to Vitor. Meira, now let's go back and show you what happened to target machine number ten, all four tires were changed. I looked at the fuel pump and the fuel line didn't come out and Dario Franchitti thought he should go because the right front mechanic was motioning for him to keep going.

I really don't know what his signal is to leave the pits. Someone could have waved him out. Sometimes those things go off the mark. Let's listen from on board. He was talking about hand signs. We need to be clear with the hand signals in front of us. Remember we saw. this last year with the team where they said no, no, and one of the drivers thought it was "go, go, go", he retired and you know, in this scenario here he has been in front all day, so now he He draws himself back into the queue and is back in eighth place, so in this scenario he will be able to get back behind Dixon.

He'll start running as a tandem again as they talk, we talked about Eddie before and this will all be very interesting to see how it plays out. and rookie Rafael Montes seems to keep moving forward to finish off Vince, that's exactly right. The Martino tires here will just make sure to take advantage of this yellow to stop more, but if they can make a short stop at the end. and that last one, which could be the difference they need to maybe even win this race, well, that gives you five laps in your hand. Does that develop?

We will find out as the strategy develops, let's consult with the jackal. We had our car sectioned. Yeah, let me see if I can explain the fuel area to you. Here you see this area that I'm pointing to when you put the fuel probe in, the fuel area opens up, but the problem is when you look for the fuel probe you should have. The exact exact angle I talked to a lot of fuel suppliers this year, they said part of the problem is if it's not seated correctly, which in some cases was the problem with Vitor Mira's pit stop.

Now, in the case of Dario Franchitti, you usually stay out there. The tire man is the one who will indicate when to go when we were on board and you saw the refueler who was trying to get the fuel but what we did not see is if they had indicated to Darío that it is from the outer tire. changer confused by the heat is cute let's go back and look at the right front tire it's the driver's fault it seems like he got those drunks the drivers are trying to gain tenths of a second so they are watching the slightest movement of the right front tire we are going very expensive, although eight positions lost B consonants for the restart and already the green flag pitchers Paul Tracy, they are all in the top five now we will see if it is possible and the powers just behind him are the first opportunity for Eliot, so notice the air is clear in The hot side hazards move, buddy, when Tracy slows down a little bit, now he's going to have to.

It seems like you could understand it. He is the yellow car right behind Paul Tracy. The drivers go ahead, Ed Carpenter, and as you sneak back into laughter. stops under Tony George they did something because it's very unusual the downhill state they actually went up since then this car is much more stable than at the beginning what you're supposed to do anyway fight for sixth position let's leave the little rookie in the number of both cars we go with more with Dad was also upset with the restart that involved right in front of them controlled by the race

official

s behind the seven or face which of the penalties this will really hurt him because she is fighting with her car. he also moves right behind her, so Danica regains her position after race control's orders.

Luckily, only Ryan Briscoe is here next lap to race later and make a little money every time he races the Indy 500 six times in his nine starts and is the first. time since 2000 stay with us to find out that the laps are decreasing and that danica Patrick has a race, cover your hands, she has started to pick up the pace, the whole race has gotten faster in the past, Memphis is probably the and her It seems every time, but I just can't get by on buses to go to the traditional parade and win this race. How do you do it?

You have to run the first half. What you have to do is test your car. You have to take a look. that you probably studied and most importantly showed poise as you listen to Danica Patrick's lack of emotion today seems to be right behind that when you notice that yes, Paul Tracy and Ryan Briscoe have a bit to take over that position, so let's try look back at Danica, she falls, can she really keep going, since the car is totally unstable, pigeons in a heavy rain with Paul Tracy's car, my cowboy, welcome to the IndyCar Series, this rookie closed the door of the number 24 meanwhile. let's go back to see if it rains there's a battle for the second here he comes he's working he's getting a good reputation she'll be up to six here now you have enough to dance weak in the indoor bottoms it was too high risk now she's in a position of having to chase him and Franchitti is on the way, he needs his partner and Franchitti is the last car on that 4 car train that you see, so it's Danica Patrick ed carpenter ryan briscoe and dario franchitti and there carpenter In the yellow car comes what's the damage, well, you saw it side by side.

Justin Wilson hits the wall causing our seventh yellow flag and this plays into the hands of Dario Franchitti, who had fallen back about 15 seconds. Let's take him back and show him what he brought us to this moment. Alex Lloyd goes down, just going in front of Justin Wilson, takes the air out of the car by the looks of it, the car just lets go underneath him and Eddie, which usually happens in that. The scenario is that you could have taken your foot off the accelerator just to go through the corner a little bit and that transfer of weight in your car would free up the grip in the rear, cause the taillight to illuminate and the thing would just shift, it's because what you see happening. as dramatically as he did and now we're going to take a look here from John Andretti's car wash in the front and John sees this too and I'm three in the back, this goes right into Frank Katie's head, Dixon is there alone, He doesn't seem to be as strong as he was when he had Frankie D as a partner.

The two pence. Power Castroneves were actually moving away from the field and Frankie D needs to get there. Hit the mark. Have the opportunity to run. These men ski and. Willpower seems like he had a faster pace than Castroneves, from what we also noticed, and the other side is that Franchitti is back there with all the cars, maybe he doesn't have the right load of arrows to be back in the group of cars In traffic, his car might be better configured to just run ahead with the area it was in before, but really, how many passes have we seen today?

Very few, it is very difficult to get behind the gearbox of a car and unless there is something. There's a lot of traffic in front of you, it's very difficult to get someone moving and pass them, which violates the rule change for the tire designed around another rule change they made. Everyone is complaining that they can't ride in traffic like they did last year and everyone seems to attribute it to tire development wrapped around a different chassis base, so I have a question for you Marty, what will happen to the power? when he is faster than Castroneves.

Well, we almost solved it right there, we were next to each other. the past couldn't do it and I don't expect there to be team orders, ah, she's never done it before, just don't eliminate each other, I mean, and willpower fights for a job he wants, but he's also at point of approval. Indianapolis love for Penske, so when he passes him, he better make it very clean, very good, lap 162 of 238 to go, this could be the last stop, so the pit crews have to play There is the splash and the race for the money. send it to Jagger ooh well Danica Patrick will be the first one to Palana pit road.

She likes her time while we look at the main tree. Victor Penske's take-off cars continue to run as we take a look at Brazil's pinnacle race outside of pit road. Briscoe picks up six. places and Danika occupies two places, well two occupies one, here we go when the majors shuffle willpower falls four and they had a problem with the willpower right rear wheel to put it back and that was the problem for him not to go out. quick order take a look this is powers pitstop it says marked perfectly does a great job eddie now look at the right rear he has his hand in the air so something is wrong with him and they are not sure what the situation was but he was already pointing out that he was late, maybe his nut came out and this is a scenario, well, because the Astra arena could make the difference if he has a chance to win or not and Scott Dixon also lost four places.

He tries to figure out why we came back. We're still under yellow flag here in Indianapolis. We have completed one hundred and sixty-five of 200 laps. The number reminds you that the NBA playoffs could be on Monday night. Kobe Bryant and the Lakers face Noah Anthony. and the Nuggets game of the Western Conference Finals ESPN HD, you know, I think the only athlete who has a better month than Kobe Bryant or LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers would have to be our leader right now, Elio Castroneves, who is trying to jump from the clutches of the IRS to the top of the IRS now here is a young man at the top of his game and he was accused of tax evasion he was accused of hiding funds offshore in Panama he was acquitted of all those charges he jumped from new to his fire suit he finished second and here this month in Indianapolis he has been the fastest man on wheels, his pit crew has been the fastest and that is no small part of the story as Roger Penske seeks his 15th victory in the Indianapolis 500 and take a look at who he is Up there and in second place, right behind him, his teammate Briscoe always tried to win a lap.

Marty, you can see the Rogers team run one, two up there and we also get a quick look at Raphael Matos, the rookie getting a first place finish again. he's at the end of the lead lap, we have 21 cars on the lead lap, that's Tinder, they can't do it, we picked up those six boats, but he's still there as a teammate, Shahira Davina, on the left side of the track . on the low side just to make sure Briscoe hasn't gotten any kind of draft - Travis leadership stripes we're going to get a chance to cook right now Eddie Castroneves is flying but not on the councilors his fly she's doing everything she can to pass the third take a look, that's a little history, they had a shoving fight twice around the block and those things stay with the drivers for a long time on the frontstretch as we climb aboard with Danica as she now falls . don't believe in a woman john barnes is not at all happy with the track conditions Johnny more overwhelming today I think Wilson gets out of here, who wins this race?

I think Tim Citic made that point clear, they capped the failure and he believes everyone else. Behind him, quiteshort well actually we talked and then when we got to the green we had 34 35 laps left and that's what I really like the whole situation now my toes because he just came in he made that last little splash. It could be the guy who is looking for a squeegee when the end comes, we know that for sure, although the car that is using the most fuel right now like Pastor Meadows, the leader always uses more fuel but it is helping him protect his position.

Vince, you have when Scott Dixon was pushing Castroneves and they were telling Dixon to push Elio because he's trying to conserve fuel now that he's able to surf without getting that pressure for a living instead of continuing to give Castroneves a pep talk telling him that you have to do it. get 3.9 on the mileage you are doing very well we can, did you hear him say that on the radio Roger Penske is one here fifteen with his driver Elio cash bananas there may be a Winston problem at the end and winning this race I wouldn't be surprised if Penske makes a Brisco to try to help him save fuel because Crisco surely came up short on the last one and the guy who looks really strong right now is welcome tip of the hat they have on their shirt whenever they want On carving day they weren't happy with their car racing, he again qualified in 18th position and sank Adam, the Castroneves carburetor day at Bristow.

I should point out that No, he did not complete the pass to come even the same color, he approached the crew and asked. Am I okay with the fuel? They said: Put it on the fuel map. He certainly does. We have followed TJ Patrica through several affected locations. They say, "Oh, now we've gone really hard with the wolves and that's Vitor Meira who made it through the fire, but." I didn't get over this because he is hard against the wall along with another car at the top of the screen is Raphael Matos. We're told that number should loosen the dragon car and yes, fuel is no longer a problem, you're fine.

Well, that was a very hard blow for Vitor Meira. The Delphi safety team is there so fast that they know the exact history of all the drivers that are in the race cars this weekend and they get to the car with the most damage first, which was Vitor. Meira and in this situation here with Rafael Mattos ended up putting himself in danger because remember that he refueled, he got there just before we went to the green, he was hoping to use that strategy to get to the end, we don't know why these two got involved. together if that was the case, but let's watch the replay here to see what happened on the front stretch, the first corner makes those who are probably trying to get around the outside of them and they both just touch, oh that's a big hit, Eddie .

No, that's terrible, in fact, this is what happens at the end of the race. I've never seen a car like Vito's mirrors do that and he's incredibly lucky that it's not the other way around and now he's coming up looking and saying "I can." I can't believe what's going to happen next because you're going backwards and you don't know what's happening. No, I feel ptosis on your high side. He thinks he'll try to go around the outside, but realistically, Eddie, he had nowhere to go. he hadn't been next to Vitor Meira Vitor is just running the right line going into the corner, that was a thing of the past and with a little more experience with Rafael he probably would have done it differently next time and definitely wouldn't do it in practice .

That was too risky then, as you can see the Delphi safety team taking their time to make sure everything was okay with these two drivers, as we are under our eighth yellow flag here at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, we will wait for news to do so. . I'm sure both drivers are fine and you can see the space that is the south conduit, as it's called here, and we found out that the condition is that the team is working very diligently to get Vitor Mirror out of the car, we're going to take a rest. with us we will get an update as soon as we can, here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, our eighth caution with 24 laps remaining, you saw side by side that Rafael Matos was able to get out of his car and right now that I can tell you that Vitor Meira is out of the car.

Delphi's security team has him on the stretcher. We have no other information other than waiting to be there again. It is the view that we show you side by side. Rafael gets out of the car safely. Obviously a little dizzy and the safety team gets in the ambulance, so we'll get reports from the medical center as soon as we get back after this message from our ABC stations here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway under our eighth warning, see what's left of Vitor mirrors the Lara's chassis and as we take another look at what happened we can tell you that we have news that Vitor was alert but complaining of pain, we don't know exactly where he was, this was bad, it's really difficult to overtake someone and turn. one on the outside is the end of the race and there are marbles at the top, it's almost impossible, but I think they throw out the cute because the slogans moved up and down now, in situations like this, all these race cars have black boxes, just like airplanes. everyone will have the opportunity to see this information.

There are accelerometers in the ears inside the driver's helmet. Now look at how these two cars come together, an ambitious impact, but all that information in the black box has already been downloaded to the medical center here, so the doctors there dr. . doctor tramble, what you have to explain here is that these cars are made of some very exotic materials and all that energy is absorbed in that front box and that front box, although it looks destroyed, has absorbed as much of the impact as the wall and the safest barrier need some repair work to do and it's going to take a few minutes so we're going to take another commercial break so we can when we do it, but let's come back. to green flag racing, go the distance with you, 2009 Indianapolis 500 presented by godaddy.com, back them a little safe in a given time, dotcom under green flag racing here, 17 lakhs left to fight for second and third place.

Townsend Bell in fourth place and willpower, I don't know how you can tell it's serious, the sentinels walk the job, their captain, a tricky Walden by 1.4 seconds, has already opened that gap and that's a lifetime to fend. and between the two minutes that will create a community so that you don't have anything inside, as we talked before, there are no fuel problems at the moment on Danica Patrick's part and between the two of them they are helping Roxy play in the castle, her nemesis Hannah fifteen. He is missing and can put a point to this story a mile and a half faster than Dan Wheldon.

The best result of his career was his rookie season. She came and then Scott Nixon and Dario Franchitti can those two get back into this mix. 14 laps left. He goes down the backstretch but it's surprising, at one point Castroneves is in the hole when he moves away 27 in person he makes the best adjustments and there is paektu Castroneves him or sister shoes do you think she is thinking Castroneves is thinking that he is thinking that he has had a Inside that race in a late stop they did not make any adjustments and left it in the hands of Elio to work the tools on the car to achieve it.

I will take care of him inside the cupcake who is a better runner with the capable experience and As we see now, another quick from the center of attention of the box complaining to Dan Wheldon and Danica Patrick, this time it will be 11 laps to realize, but he has to work with Weldon because they are sheep, also has to look behind a local Townsend. piece of this cake breath from the box keep going like this right now it still seems like it's Elio they're going to catch Caspere's nets you can't distill one for the space between for a second sounds of bells Indianapolis 500 picks up her second victory at Brickyard annika makes history becoming the first woman to cross the strike the county of the first sister a record sip here in the 500 right now because they can't seem to sit on the couch, it looks like it's pretty clean to go up directly in front of him so that won't be a problem, we'll have a smile on your face and just make sure you're looking in the mirrors and seeing the speech behind.

She was the last driver in poor Elio's 500 in a row. that's what it is, since ours does it today, the Brickyard payer, time and password, Eva again, we have put in 219 of her third because, as we have seen so many Sometimes, this place carries the population of the Earth once to the Moon the last. 15 laps means the fastest car in traffic and your lead is up to 1.9 five miles faster than dad, welcome, he's pulling away and his sister pushes him down the frontstretch and now here they are having absolutely Indy 500 month perfect. just keeps Britt once more, this time the clock remaining and the gap is 1.9 seconds starting to make an arrow of light.

He's taking such a conservative line because he's trying to make sure he doesn't make any mistakes at Penske, that's what Jennifer's piece does. The car that left his sister and business manager, Tim Syndra, cards and four more laps, his stomach has to be the Jerry super prize in America Basin, who will be the first driver to win five of the 500 without units in which he is the page with the team you run with. Being the only one to have achieved that is true, he has a great chance to win three wins. My brother watched Johnny Aubert and Bobby strip his girlfriend of a piece of history.

The person standing here is not a person sitting in his seat, they are. Standing up, you mentioned Rick Mears. Did you see the family holding hands? I respond as he flies by. I think this place is going to explore across the finish line to clear the water. The 85th, the best eight seconds behind Marco Andretti, of course, and not in the race. this is her best chance after Tony where she ends up here, we last masked weeks ago, Geneva was looking at the major race efforts, they're going straight to Victor Lee, thanks everyone, and those guys know where they're going, Come on, she's Welch's sister.

A couple of months ago her lives changed forever and being out of the sport of racing, much less her freedom, how does it feel today to see La Acosta be all the bricks in this race? She wants to climb the fence. Oh, the residents trust them. I can't believe she's a guy I can't believe she passes history now that she's complete the driveway wins here at Indian becomes the sixth with three others. If you mentioned it, you could be looking at your first inclination and take a good look at this image. the car is and instead he even knows that he needs to take it off like you said Polly bold script and what there is is the best image of all right there his next stop is his eyes on victory we will have the opportunity to speak for him, yes, do what that goes through your head.

I just wonder if he really believes it was all just a month ago, just one. This wouldn't have been bad. He stops in the pits and we go with Jack. Very emotionally attached, he remembers receiving the BorgWarner trophy, but. now the most important thing hello this is what makes it official this is what makes it official right here like what makes it official big winner no one would have thought this would taste as sweet as it does today Castroneves, three time Indy 500 champion ago A little over a month after being sidelined, it's an opportunity to visit with your own thoughts.

LEL, can you contribute to what you are feeling right now? his mom is here in victory lane roger penske and now, amid the applause of praise, elio Castroneves three-time champion of the Indianapolis 500 and he didn't have to make you cry winning made you cry I'm sorry, I'm so sorry , just um, I think my tears are peaks or his peak for everything, you know, great to see what. a great team that I have to take first of all Lord forgive me this opportunity to be strong to have a family that I have and obviously I have to take the team of Roger penske syndrich my boys they feel more obviously they are all the Verizon associates all because they gave me back life and I'm here today thanks to those guys you know, obviously, fans, thank you very much, tap water, to the fans like you, Vegas, do I ask you a question alone in the middle of the race?

We are not with the leading group, you had to be very patient, how were the conversations between you and Jim syndrome? First of all, we were happy with all kinds of problems with the radio from the beginning of the race and then we had a small problem with the gearbox at the pit stop, so it was in neutral. I had to change the mechanics and finally set the enemy on fire. We were just feeling out the car. I didn't touch anything in the car, so basically it was a long race, we're just taking it easy, it was good actually because behind me I knew what I had to do, but once I got to the front, they never looked back, so Wow, what a day, I mean, this.

The place is magical, yes, come here, you know, Nina, it was difficult, it was at the beginning of this season, but things are starting to fall into place, this is the best month for me, so thank you very much, thank you for being in the Indy Racing League. Simply incredible,so monitor to be part of the structure of this team, so Wow, three kemberly number 3 3 4 3 and the record number 15 Marty Reed for Roger Penske, what a day it is for Penske Racing and Castroneves gets a kiss from his girlfriend. and we still have much more to come from India 2009, the celebration continues here at the 2009 edition of the Indianapolis 500, winner Elio Castroneves and three runners achieved career-best results today in Indy willpower and against Townsend Bell in fourth place and lady us.

Let's talk to the next Danica Patrick third. We are at a new best for Danica Patrick, as you mentioned, Martí would finish third. If there were ten more laps, would there be anything left in that car? Yes, in fact, I would have liked to see it. it just turned green the whole last one without that yellow in the middle, you know what it was, you know we were going to have to be smart with our fuel, but we were already getting it going on those few laps we did before the yellow came out. , so I think we would have been fine.

I think that would have played into our hands. I had a really good car on long runs. I think we maybe had a little more downforce than Dan or at least that's what it seemed like. It will be because you know that I would have good races with them and in reality it was not enough, so you know well what you are going to do. I think the most obvious thing was in the reboot. I went outside and thought, yeah. I had a good push and then you know, I'm dead. Even how the race went today.

It was exciting with Paul Tracy around, he was there for much of the start of the race. For me, it's pretty good. on those restarts, but I think the track got better overall as the day went on and you know, I think my car really helped me. I think we were able to run flat all the way to the end. end there, so that's what we were looking for, you know, so I'm happy with that. I wish we'd had a better chance against the wind, but what are you going to do right? The third is Not bad at all guys, we will see her next week in Milwaukee.

Let's take a look at second place Dan Wheldon. He's fine. Panther Racing hired Dan Wheldon because they believed. Wheldon would give them a chance to win the Indianapolis 500. You have won this race before as a member of Panther. You finished second here today. Did you have something for Elio or were you second? The best you had. I have to say that I believe. certainly, the guys at National Guard Panther Racing executed perfectly today. I thought they were fantastic in the pits. I think they're probably the class of the country. I can't see everyone, but you know they were there, certainly, in my opinion, they were the best and we.

I just didn't quite have it at the end, I mean the team has worked incredibly hard all month. You know, you're not just the people at the track, but you're also the people at home. We are back in the workshop and you even know the families of the people behind the workshop and they were a difficult day but certainly very rewarding after a difficult month, the Honda you know gave us good engines again and we are proud. of them for that and obviously Mr. Firestone endured. I was pretty loose at the end, but they certainly had enough grip to get me there, so that was good.

A week ago you were very unhappy with the way the car was handling, can you put it down? Perspective, what a huge leap this team took to have the car in the position it was in today. I think I said, I said this morning, certainly, in the short time that I've been with the National Guard, I learned from the troops, you know. That never say die attitude and I think because a lot of the troops here that I've met and even those overseas and the stories that I hear I think certainly matured me and I think in the talk I had this morning.

With the boys, I was very proud that they had never given up, you know, once this month, even despite the difficult times we had, and it was the same in the race, you know, we just worked to get to the front, you know. very cleanly stayed out of trouble and you know, like I say, they were phenomenal in the pits, they made my job very easy today, so everyone who participated in the race in the number four National Guard car should be very proud Yes, the military men and women of the National Guard. Very proud today Marty Reed of Dan Wheldon second in the Indianapolis 500 and that is after starting 18th in this field of 33 and boy is it Brazil, happy ornoff waha after this message from our ABC stations, we will be back, take us home , Marty, thank you very much.

Beach gaining the allure of Indianapolis and capturing it, and you tell yourself that fairy tales don't always come true, but today they did, and how about that look at the family as they roar back home with family power ?
