Homestead Updates
The 3 hour Gainsco GrandAm race has fewer than 40 minutes to go...and Scott Pruett leads overall. You will remember that Pruett already has one victory in 2008...the 24 Hours of Daytona for Chip Ganassi Racing.
What's going on here department: The second and third IndyCar qualifiers, Ed Carpenter and A. J. Foyt IV, both of Vision Racing (owned by one Anton H. "Tony" George), had last night's qualifying times disallowed after failing an inspection. Because both of those cars move to the back of the 25 car grid, that moves Danica Patrick up to second starting position, and gets Dan Wheldon from a 24th place starting slot, to 22nd. The best action on track will still involve Wheldon (who looks for a 4th consecutive win here at Homestead) coming to the front.
We'll update this post with the GrandAm Rolex Series winner later.
