Well I guess that title can be taken several ways.
First in case no one heard...
Penske's Race hauler burned up pretty bad in WY on the way to the road course race on Wed.
it was a 2-3 million dollar loss.  Lost the hauler, race cars, not sure what all else.... saved the tractor rig.  I didn't hear any indication of how it started.

Then the team got all the parts out of the hauler it could, tools, air guns, etc etc... cleaned then all up.. man that must have been a job.
They went into race mode, and turned up the heat on the other teams.... Helio  Castroneves and Ryan Brisco finished 1-2 for team Penske in a run hollywodd couldn't of written a better script for.

Also Helio cut into Scott Dixon's big point lead, and it's a two man race as the Indy car season winds down.

It's really interesting how fast they bounced back and Helio got his first win.
