Jimmie Johnson is making it a habit of wining at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as he claimed his second victory at the race circuit last Sunday that featured tire troubles and wall crashes. Jimmie Johnson said that he was aware of the weary tire on which he was racing and was lucky that he could finish the race on the leader board despite a tire explosion. The Goodyear tires and NASCAR were hoping for better tire performance during the race, but that was not the case, as the tires started to get worn out as early as three laps into the race. Jimmie’s fans will be hoping for even better performances by him in the future races and this performance by Jimmie in trying conditions will augur well for the ticket sales in the upcoming races.

Chasing down Marco Andretti during the final yards of the 2006 Indy 500, Hornish swept past the son of racing royalty to win by about a car length, the distinct rumble of the yard of bricks under his wheels at the finish line telling Hornish he’d finally captured the most-coveted title in open-wheel racing. Hornish still has a realistic shot at catching Regan Smith for rookie of the year honors after this win. However, all will not be well even after this fairy tale win because the driver returns to familiar territory for Sunday’s Brickyard 400 in an unfamiliar position - struggling to find the magic that seemed to flow so easily during Hornish’s dominant open-wheel career for team owner Roger Penske. Despite this, Hornish looks forward to the race for which tickets are selling out fast.
