I've had these rattling around in my head for the past week, getting more and more confident as Sunday approached:
Monaco GP: Hopefully we'll get our first wet race of the year and Lewis Hamilton will remind the world of his capabilities. Outside chance: Mark Webber. Mark and Red Bull are typically in fine form at Monaco and a damp track should clear out enough spots up front to make his quali position less of an issue.
Indianapolis 500: All the signs are eerily pointing to The Danica, but I've been dazzled by Marco Andretti's performances so far at Indy. He's been too quiet this year.
Coca-Cola 600: Gotta go with JJ here. No team is more patient with changing track conditions and has that ability to just lay back in the weeds. Once the front runners chew up their equipment or lose the handle, the 48 will again be headed for victory lane at their home track. Outside chance: Kasey Kane whooped the all-stars here last weekend and he's dominated the 600 before, so don't count him out.

Well, 1 for 3 isn't too bad. It's a shame that Kimi wiped out Sutil, he had a good race, and should have been able to hold on to most of the spots, even as the track dried out, since there were no pit stops coming, and it's Monaco.
Indy looked like what the Cup guys were complaining about earlier this year: Nobody could pass. I think Kanaan et al were too rough on Marco, he had a big run, and had to go somewhere. What's his alternative - Jam on the brakes and hope he doesn't spin going into the turn? TK's a big boy, he's supposed to be able to handle a car, too.
And the snakebit JGR team gets hit again. What the heck is going on there, if your name isn't Kyle Busch? Two right front tires flat with 3 laps to go? And when Stewart had that race won.
You do start to wonder what's going on with so many of these teams with the loose wheels...
Yeah, I agree with you on the Marco thing. If anything he was way too hesitant later on in the race when Helio was holding him up.
My biggest sympathies have to go out to Danica's henpecked pit crew. Does she ever stop yammering on the radio?
As for Big Orange, when that tire let go, I was almost thinking targeted sabotage for the way Tony chewed out Goodyear earlier in the season...
