Weldon wins first Indy street race

Hey all, it has been a horribly busy time since the race. We had a GREAT time with Red Bull who hooked us up all week end. I got to meet Indy winner Eddie Cheever and he shows us around the Red Bull racing trailer.

We also hooked up with Patrick Carpantier who, if you have followed NLTV for any length of time you would recognise his Team Player car on our business cards. New hostess Ashley Avis got to do a great interview with him, Series Champ Tony Kanaan, Scott Sharp and race winner Dan Wheldon.

And speaking of Ashley, she is our first hostess from the pagent circuit. She was last years Miss Teen Model Universe where she had to travel to Ghana, Africa to compete. The training the women have to go through for pagents really pays off. Ashley took the mic in hand and went at it like a seasoned pro.

We have a littel more to shoot for the Indy race show before it is complete but it is going to be our best show ever!

Bryan Herta takes Indy pole in shootout

Today, Bryan Herta of Andretti Green Racing became the first driver to earn an Indy pole for a street course. In a unique qualifying procedure the top six times from single-lap qualifying advanced to the Firestone Fast Six. This is a 10-minute European-style session designed to give each driver the opportunity to better the qualifying time of others and move up on the grid with five positions changing order. Herta went in the dash in 4th and came out on top knocking off teammate Dario Franchitti.

Our new hostess Ashley Avis got some great interviews with Tony Kanaan, Dan Wheldon and Scott Sharpe as well as a tour through the Red Bull racing trailer from none other than team owner Eddie Cheever himself.

We look forward to tomorrows race and having a great time.
