IndyCar Debuts at Barber Motor Sports Park

I enjoyed watching the first IndyCar race at Barber Motor Sports Park in Birmingham, Alabama yesterday afternoon. I saw a lot of tweets and comments online about how boring the race was or how much of a snoozer it was. Not all races can be pass fests and even though this one didn't feature a lot of passing, it was still an interesting race from a strategy standpoint. Even though there weren't a lot of passes, there was still a lot of pressure being applied. I imagine you could probably ask Marco Andretti about the pressure that Helio Castroneves was putting on him. That said, some change could probably be made to the track to make for more passing opportunities and I understand that the facility has made promises to do so.

Congratulations to Helio Castroneves on his win. Good to see him climbing the fences again!
