Bump Day Returns

The last two days of qualifying for the Indy 500 brought more drama this year than in recent memory. Sure the cars are nearly identical, but the setups and the drivers aren't and that's where the drama begins.

John Andretti (whose car is pictured below) pulled off a last minute bump last Sunday by finding two miles per hour that frankly seemed to appear magically. Word is out that they received a call from Tony Stewart advising John to go wider into turn one to pick up more speed through the short chute between turns one and two. It worked.



One thing of note is how horizontal the rear wing is. On most tracks it would be more upright, it practically lays down at Indy - these things are setup for MAX speed!
