[oh and i finally got my will power shirt at the last race =] the sales dude said its on of his best selling things =]

Answer 1

Most Improved Driver: I would say Hideki Mutoh.  Throughout the season he has just been getting better and better, and I think next season he's going to win his first race and who knows, maybe he could be in the running for the Championship.

Team Favorite: Andretti Green Racing has always been my favorite team.  I was really disappointed with how this season is turning out though.  They used to work in perfect harmony,  but now not so much.  Hopefully they will pull it together for next season.

I am sick of Scott Dixon winning every race, but he is a very good driver and I think he deserves the Championship this season.

What shocked me this season was that the Champ Car drivers are really proving themselves to be good IRL racers.  They really excel at the road courses, but some of them also look like they could become great oval racers also.

I used to not really care too much about Helio Castroneves, but now he is one of my favorite drivers and I hope he can win a race before the end of the season.

Wow, this is first season in the IRL and he already is selling t-shirts!  Some of the drivers that were here last year don't even have t-shirts!

Answer 2

I'm glad the competition has improved.

I think Mutoh and Hunter-Reay will be near the top real soon.

I'm not sick of Scott Dixon. Someone just needs to step up and de-throne him. I expected Wheldon to be closer to DIxon than he is but Dixon has just ,well...kicked butt all year and that's the way it goes.

I'm glad they started interviewing the winners before Danica.

I like all the drivers and am very impressed at how competitive the KV and Newman Haas Lanigan teams have become in such short time.

What shocked me was Ana Beatriz in the Indy Lights.

I just watched the Kentucky race and she is a real hotrod. She doesn't do a lot of "tucking in" and isn't afraid to go 3 wide on the high side for position.She always pushes towards the front and in her 1st year, she's already won a race and she's 5th in points..just 5 points out of third...

Answer 3

Glad you got your Will Power shirt...you had been looking for a while I think...Yes, I'm tired of Dixon (we have the same thing in Nascar with Kyle Busch) Dixon is a great driver..But I just want my Helio to get a win before the season is over.. I didn't care for Briscoe but he has grown on me and so has Hunter-Reay as well..  I'm still a Penske Racing fan in IRL..I always have a soft spot for KV racing as I know Jimmy Vassar, he was great to party with over in Long Beach.. I dread the season ending.

Go Helio

Answer 4

Most improved-Helio

Favorite team-Andretti Green. Always have been since I started watching it.

Sick of Scott Dixon-Heck yeah!

What shocked me this season?- Scott Dixon winning majority of the races, Marco hasn't won a race yet...

Did I start to like any drivers that I didn't before or the other way around?- Ok I'll admit. If Marco, Danica, or Tony are having a bad day I also cheer for Helio. There I got it out!

Answer 5

Why hate Dixon? He has been fortunate a couple of times in this spec car series, but the main thing he's done is take what the car has given him and finished with it. AGR would not be my shocker of the year-deep pockets moderate talent with the exception of Kanaan who should be MUCH choser to Dixon in points. Tony signing another contract with that bunch is my real shocker

Answer 6

For the most improved Brian Vickers I would have to say, but A.J. Allmendinger improved too. That whole organization has done better.

For me Gillett Evernham Motorsports.

I am sick of Scott Dixon too, but he won the most important race of the year, so yeah people are eventually are gonna be sick of him.

ummm for the driver question I don't really know maybe...I don't know maybe Robby Gordon, or David Reutimann.

P.S. What shirt are you talking about?

Answer 7

^^^  LOL

It's been a great season with Hideki Mutoh getting the "attaboy" from me.  He's behind Hunter Ray in points but he has been on the money consistent for a newbie.

Have a nice night.

Bout time you found a Will Power shirt.  You been looking for one for awhile.
