This is usually the best race at Long Beach, but it was a disappointment this year. No fault of the drivers, just the way it worked out.

You mean the Davis Family Race!
I found it to be an ego stroke for
the Davis Family, Their company the
lead sponser, the son wins the race,
the dad wants to play to, and the mother
announcing the race... oh yeah! the 300
employees who stuck around on corner
9 (the company paid for suite) to
cheer the dad and son on... please!
