First time in almost a month since being on here, with school being the main priority naturally that takes precedence.
Anyway I was back on the IndyCar media trail this past weekend, covering the season finale at Chicagoland. Yeah, both titles were decided on the last lap of the last race - Rafa and Dixon as expected securing their championships - but there were two major things to come out of this weekend.
Milka and Marty-mania.
The maligned usual two that prop up the field can thank their engineers for their best runs of the season this weekend, but anything that is better than finishing last is a step up for each.
Roth qualified ninth, quickly dropped to the rear but finished 16th, only a few laps down.
Milka, shockingly, qualified 20th (ahead of her teammate and others), stayed on the lead lap all day, and even LED a few laps. Granted, four of the five circuits out front were under yellow but for one glorious lap, she held the lead under green. A pit stop that occurred just before a caution dropped her down the order a bit but 14th is a respectable result.
The funny thing of all this is that Duno's five laps led are one more than Danica's this season. Just found it interesting.
And for all the folks who think Danica has a good relationship with the media, think again. A quick question wondering how she got up to 3rd in practice was greeted with her taking off her shades, staring at my hardcard, and saying "I'm sorry, no interviews" in a catty, arrogant and snobbish manner.
I wasn't really expecting anything different but it going out of your way to be rude to the media who are nice enough to cover you says a lot about your character. Just saying.
