Race Smarts

[Austin Jordan]

hey guys,
here's to find our true race fans. i'll post a question about racing whether it's a track, series, or race and everything else. once someone gets it they get 5 points. if they get a special question they get 10 points. miss the uestion you lose 2 points. i put everyones' points here and if you get the most of the week you win and get to post the questions.

i keep your ponits of the week to decide who has the most ponits of the month (by your winning points in a week). if i get some prizes (like deciding the format for a club race) for it that's what you get. lets start!

In 2003 indycar saw probably the worst of indycar and maybe even racing history crash, who was it and where did it happen?

[Ondrej Kapal]

[Ondrej Kapal]

to your question: 2003 IndyCar Series Race #16 "Texas Part Duex" Chevy 500, Kenny Brack?

 

[Austin Jordan]

good job ondrej but a too much info lol. all i wanted was texas and kenny but it doesn't matter. ok #4

this track is one the greatest tracks ever, hosting some the best events in grand-am, nascar, moto (not moto gp), karting, and motorcross. very historical track.

hint when this rule was around, if you won certain events, you win a million dollars and only one driver has done it.

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

well if you mean Winston million, two drivers won it (wikipedia)
1985 Bill Elliott
1997 Jeff Gordon
