Who do you REALLY root for?

Question

When you are watching an IRL race in the final laps, what driver really makes you move to the edge of your seat?

I'm not looking for "reasons" you like a driver , I'm just interested in who makes people watch the races.

I've posted here before, I've declared my favorite as Scott Dixon...I always root for Dixon....always have...

Answer 1

I always root for Helio...then TK, always alittle bit for Danica, and Graham Rahal cause I use to be a huge fan of his dad when he was driving... But my #1 is always Helio..gotta love that smile.

Go Helio

Answer 2

Danica Patrick

Answer 3

I always like to see repeat winners....we haven't had one of those since 2002 with Helio.  We haven't had a 3-time winner crowned since Rick Mears in 1984 (who as we all know, went on to win a 4th in 1991)

So for that, I'd root for Helio first.  But some other drivers I'd love to see win it are:

Danica

Marco Andretti (I just want to see an Andretti win for once in my lifetime)

Tomas Scheckter

AJ Foyt IV  (Don't laugh...he's actually got a good ride this year)

Vitor Meira (The guy's been a bridesmaid long enough...Winning the Indy 500 would be an amazing first win in the IRL for this guy)

Answer 4

DANICA - she's the only reason I watch any IRL event

Answer 5

vitor meria is my faviorate right now but something always happends and he aint there at the end so i like to see hellio castronevas win

Answer 6

Dan Weldon!  Couldn't tell you why,  I guess I just like him!

Answer 7

Tony Kanaan

Marco Andretti

Scott Dixon

Helio Castroneves

Answer 8

Wheldon

Andretti

Rahal

Pactrick

Reay and

Wilson

Answer 9

I have multiple drivers I root for in the IRL.Here they are:

Helio Castroneves

Danica Patrick

Graham Rahal

Justin Wilson

Ryan Hunter-Reay

I like almost all underdogs,hopefully an ex-CCWS driver will win on an oval this year(they will win more than 2 on road courses though)

Paul Tracy(If he can find a ride)

I don't know why but I don't like Tony Kanaan.

Good question,starred.

Answer 10

Graham Rahal. I'm an Ohioan, I have to root for him. But if he can't win, I'm also a fan of Tomas Sheckter, Oriol Servia, Marco Andretti, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Justin Wilson(how does he manage to fit in those cars?!) and Will Power.
