Sweet (Virtual) Home Alabama

Time to ship the IndyCar circus off to the good ol' southland for the Honda Grand Prix of Alabama -- the first IndyCar race at Barber Motorsports Park. That means it's also time for VERSUS' CG department to drop the knowledge yet again:



Here's what I'm thinking: this could be the dullest race the IndyCar series has ever run. There are exactly zero ideal passing zones on this track. Therefore, anyone who tries to make a pass will either not make the pass, or try it in such a crazy spot that it's doomed to failure. What will be interesting is qualifying; if some oddball team (not Penske or Ganassi) takes pole or second, it could give us a new team atop the podium.

Preview forthcoming...
