The Bikes of IndyCar

Pretty cool day at Richmond International Raceway on June 27, 2009. Was the day of the SunTrust IndyCar Challenge at Richmond International Raceway. Had a great time (and have a lot of photos on Flickr of the race, and a link to that on my page if you would like to see them). Woman on the moped at left is none other than Danica Patrick who drove the #7 Andretti Green Race car to a fifth place finish at the race. It was a really good event, enjoyed seeing some of the drivers up close and personal, and enjoyed the racetrack. Richmond really has a first rate facility, and it was a ton of fun. I am making plans to go there again next year!


Team Penske drivers and crews bopped around on these small mopeds. Thought they were very cool, and looked like a lot of fun. Always thought that two wheels are one of the best ways to get around, and apparently IndyCar teams are in agreement.
For the record, Scott Dixon won the race which was very fast (pole speed was 167.315) and to be honest really enjoyed how the cars kicked up a nice breeze while running. In fact, it was a perfect Richmond night, and was a really fun time at the racetrack!
