IRL drivers look silly at Daytona

Many of the 17 IRL IndyCar drivers who tested Wednesday on a modified road course at Daytona International Speedway had a tough time staying within the lines. Helio Castroneves, Sam Hornish Jr. and Dario Franchitti were among the drivers who slid off the 10-turn, 2.72-mile track. There were a dozen full-course yellow flags during Wednesday's two sessions.

[Editor's Note: No fans showed up to watch this test, and we doubt many fans will show up if the IRL ever raced at Daytona. Fans have little interest watching races on Daytona's road course. Yes, the infield was full for the 24 Hours of Daytona. With 70 cars on the grid, a good chunk of the infield was taken up by team personnel vehicles. As for the grandstands, empty as usual.]
