This is one of those races that anyone could win. I'll go with Hunter-Reay, Power, Kanaan.

Man; I'd love to pick Newgarden because the kid is due for some luck, but...

I'll go with Kanaan, Carpenter & Wilson.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea Indy, its a toss-up similar to the first race at Belle Isle. Tough to pick. Anybody with the right set-up and fuel at the end could win it.

 

[Retroram52]

Carpenter, Power, and Montoilet. Pretty good race.

 

[IndyAndy]

JPM is really coming on. I could see him winning before the season is over.

Here's how we did:

Retroram52: 3 points - correctly picked Power to finish 2nd
IndyAndy: 1 point - got Carpenter out of position

Season Totals so far:

Retroram52: 19 points
IndyAndy: 11 points
obxyankeefan: 1 point

Next Up: Double-header weekend at Houston, June 28 & 29.

Thanks Indy. I agree. JPM is finally getting NASCAR out of his head and is returning to Indycar form.
