The Allstate 400 at the Brickyard

Anyone who loves NASCAR or even the open wheel driving of Indycar formula racing knows how important driving at Indy can be. It is a unique track with the pagoda style press area right behind pit road.

Overall for Juan Pablo Montoya he led the most laps till he got caught for speeding down pit road. That will always get you; at that point Mark Martin took the lead again since he started on the pole. By the way Martin historically is named the oldest driver in NASCAR to ever win Pole at Indy.

It didn’t take long with about 23 laps to go Jimmy Johnson took the lead. Unfortunate for my favorite driver Dale Jr. lost an engine and had to drop out of the race, ugh I hate DNFs. At about 14 laps to go Michael Waltrip’s car was pushed into the garage car over heated. In the end the winner who gets to kiss the bricks is Jimmy Johnson. This is the first time a driver has won back to back races at the Brickyard. Tony Stewart gets a 3 place finish and for Dale as a result of a DNF he finishes 36th. Till next race when we see you at back at Pocono.
