2007 IRL Rd. 4--Kansas Lottery Indy 300
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 9:38 am
With the teams hopefully getting reacclimated back to North America, it is time to travel to America's heartland and the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway, home to the last pre-Indy 500 race on the 2007 schedule, the Kansas Lottery Indy 300. Just outside Kansas City(on the Kansas side of the KS/MO border), this race was on the schedule in July(which meant high temperatures and humidity); will the move up the calendar affect how the teams perpare? One storyline that I'll be following during the weekend is this one......Going into the season, everyone knew the key to beating the "four red car" juggernaut would be to beat them on the IndyCar Series' main set of tracks, the 1.5-mile superspeedway ovals; with the win in Motegi by AGR's Tony Kanaan, has Penske and Ganassi finally been caught up to by the collective peloton', or will they still continue to dominate?
