I'm watching it just because. I might end up going out and working on the car before it ends, but I'll at least give it a go. I like the look of the new cars.

I jus don't have the same enthusiasm as when I was a kid in the 60s. Good reason to nosh n pop a few tho.

Any predictions?

I'd like to see TK get his first... or Hinchcliff

There's actually quite a lot of passing at the front. I'm having fun explaining pit stops and fuel use and aerodynamics to my boys.

I just turned it on, you know these new cars look a bit like oversized TAG karts with the shape of the side pods.

I've never really watched the 500 before, although I've just finished reading Smokey's book again. Red flag on the F1 race so I flipped over.

Is it a spec series now? All those cars look an awful lot alike...

Commercial, commercial, overlay with voiceover, commercial...I'm going back to Monaco. Although it was fun watching the entire field come into the pits at the same time under a yellow.

Racing is pretty good though.

Thats got to be close to a record time, isn't it? Pretty fast lap times, fewer cautions than I remember for a long time. I enjoyed that race more than I have recently. Actually, the whole Indycar deal seems to be a lot more entertaining with the goofy looking car.

We normally don't watch any Indycar, but we usually watch the Indy 500. This was rather enjoyable and it was a good race.

Actually a pretty damn good race, despite ending under yellow.

Cool to see Kanaan win, driving for Jimmy V. And seeing Zanardi's reaction in TK's pits... Priceless!!!

New average lap speed, 68 lead changes, wow.

Congrats to TK and Vasser.

Glad to hear that Tony won. I've been enjoying our awesome spring weather outside.

Where can we find the highlight video's? All I saw were 2012 vid currently on youtube.

Would have loved to see the last few laps go green, but TK is a very deserving winner. He drove his butt off today. How about that rookie Munoz? Pretty incredible run for him.

Nascar has it right with the green-white-checkered rule. Ending a race under yellow is very anti-climatic and disappointing. That said, overall it was a very entertaining race.
