Start Your Engines: The 91st Indy 500 Preview
Qualifying is done and dusted, the 33-car field has been decided, and the stage is now set for the 91st running of one of the world's most famous races. Matt Beer previews this weekend's Indy 500
In the each of the past two seasons, the driver who would become IRL IndyCar Series champion has snatched Indianapolis 500 victory away from the sentimental favourite in the closing moments, as Dan Wheldon beat Danica Patrick in 2005, and Sam Hornish Jr overcame the Andretti family with a last gasp push a year ago.
In 2007 it already looks like Wheldon is on course for another championship title, and a second Indy win would bring him a lot closer to that goal. But at least nine other drivers believe they might be able to stop him when the 91st Indy 500 begins on Sunday.
