I hope he doesn't have to do NASCAR to cover his legal bills.

More on Helio from a very cynical Marshal Pruett.

Very exciting qualifying. Sarrazin on pole, Penske on pole also.

Yes, I have ran out of superlatives for the "Q"ing sessions! They just keep on giving.

The only bad thing about streaming the qualifying on the internet is that my computer sometimes is slow and the video and audio feed fades in and out. Does that happen to anyone else?

The audio seemed to have slowed down on my end a few times. Other then Petit I've never experienced any problems before. I'm not complaining though as I love the chance to see qualifying online then not seeing it at all.

Is coming in second seen as this another failure for Peugeot? Just wondering what your opinion is.

Maybe they should try Laguna Seca just to go against all the odds like Audi did winning at the early street venues of St. Pete and Long Beach.

In the post race interview Klien was asked if he was disappointed and he replied "we came here to win". McNish's last stint was amazing. Klien passed him while McNish was on cold tires but Allan got him back and then his restart after the yellow was brilliant! Klien had no answer for him. Having said that, Klien was very impressive all week. You should have seen the cheer in the stands at start/finish when the Pug briefly took the lead in the last hour.
