Not correct. The actual results were as follows:

2000 3-4
2001 1-2
2002 1-2
2003 2-3
2004 1-2
2005 1-2

What an event. I am going to try and go next year. I think that race is the best in the world now that Indy has been so emasculated.

Way to go GM, Chevrolet and Corvette Racing Team!!!

That was a real shock to watch both AMs have major issues at the same time, kinda like last year with the Ferrari.

Congrats to the Corvette team and GM (They needed some good news)

Now I'm going to go and delete the last 10 hours of the race because there is absolutely no drama left.

What a ****ty day for racing.

This was a fun race to watch. I Tivo'd the whole thing. Corvette ran a smart race. Excellent pit crews. Some of the car crews ran the pits like they had all day. No sense of urgency. They ran a smart race, kept the pressure up on the AM cars and waited for things to happen. It's a 24 hour race and Corvette raced for 24 hours.
