    By the luck of the draw, Helio's car was yellow. And I'm thinking it's got to be his favorite color.

    Pretty good record for Helio. 3 races - 2 wins, and 1 2nd place.

    How did Tony Stewart do? As good as he is, I figured he would win.

    That car was no way near yellow. Where did you get that from? His car was CREAM. You know that off white color .

    What is the typical speed for the IROC cars at Indy? How much slower than the NASCAR cars?

    The pace of the IROC race was about 155. Nascar pole was 182.

    Considering their best laps in the race are about 10 mph slower than qualifying today and IROC top speeds should be around 160 with fresh tires, I guess it would be safe to say that the Winston Cup cars are about 10 mph faster than IROC with their fixed setups.
