Big Weekend In Racing

If you like car racing, this is the weekend (Sunday) for you.
Tomorrow, the Indy 500 starts the day off at 9:00 AM PST and I am sure there will be some exciting racing at speeds over 200 mph.  They only had 33 car entries, so, if you showed up with a car, you are in the race.  Hopefully, the race will be safer than the last time the Indy cars drove on an oval.  That was in Las Vegas and in the race, Dan Wheldon was killed.

Then NASCAR has their longest race of the year, the Coca Cola 600 in North Carolina.  If this season is any indication, the race will be extremely boring with few cautions, little passing and drivers driving like a bunch of old men and Danica.
So, my predictions will be that Will Power wins the Indy 500 and Matt Kenseth will win the Coca Cola 600.
