Briscoe’s Win Follows Cat Fight!
This Full Throttle “broadcast” is interrupted to bring you the prelude to Sunday’s Mid–Oho 200 IndyCar event — Saturday’s Cat Fight!
We now bring you your regularly scheduled “broadcast”.
Australia’s Briscoe won yesterday’s Indy 200 IndyCar Series race by defeating pole sitter and Team Penske teammate Helio Castroneves. It was Penske’s eighth 1-2 finish and its first since March 19, 2005, when Castroneves was the runner-up to Sam Hornish Jr. at Phoenix.
“What a weekend for Team Penske. “It just feels so good to get this win,” Finally, something went our way,” Briscoe said.
Since recording his first victory on June 1 at Milwaukee, Briscoe had experienced some tough luck over the last two months. But Briscoe and Team Penske benefited from a rain storm that soaked the 2.258-mile road course and delayed the start of the race.
The majority of the 26-car field started the race with rain tires while Team Penske waited six laps before having Briscoe pit for tires.
Brazil’s Castroneves, who started on the front row with Briscoe, improved on his third-place finish in this race last year. New Zealand’s Scott Dixon finished third while Australia’s Will Power and Oriol Servia rounded out the top five.
Dixon still leads runner-up Castroneves by 58 points in the overall points standings.
Briscoe started from the pole two weeks ago in Watkins Glen but crashed late in the race and finished twelfth.
The next IndyCar Series race is July 6 in Edmonton, Canada.

‘You like big show’!!!!!
[throws towel, followed by waves arm in disgust]
All that was missing in the CAT FIGHT was a fake punch!
Every time Dumbica, er, Danica, exits the car she needs an immediate application of ankle shackles and a generous strapping of duct tape over her big mouth.
I liked Duno’s comment about how she can get away with that crap when confronting men as they can’t react properly (like punch her lights out) but Milka can!
You go girl!!!
Well by A.J Foyt’s rule that was a better “fight” by the gals than from the fellas…….as they had taken their helmets off. LOL
Princess D would do well to remember that more than one driver would have loved to have given her the exact same ear bashing for getting in the way over the seasons. They were unable to because she was a girl, the drama queen can’t have it both ways.
BTW, Danica was not in too much of hurry to get to Duno’s pit box.She made sure her hair was set back neatly, the sun glasses on & a TV crew present before her tantrum for the cameras.
Back to racing matters; now that I have watched the highlights, it didn’t seem to be the most exciting of races.
Actually I’m not sure if the network cameras caught the set-to. The video making the rounds, and the one I linked to, was shot by a member of Dino’s crew.
That aside, a diva DOES have to look like a DIVA.
