I think Kenny Brack is all of 135 pounds soaking wet and Dan Weldon isn't much heavier. If IRL wants to make a rule that the drivers must weigh a certain weight or have pounds added that's fine with me, but they don't and rules is rules. Get over it Robby G.

Danica made a good showing for herself today. She is a rookie and I think by definition it means she is still learning. With the possible exception of Jim Clark I don't know how many other "rookies" could drive with no errors in their first Indy 500.
