WOW, Ryan Hunter Reay getting bumped by his team mate Marco, and Mike Conway not even making the field, Michael Andretti has to be feeling awful, I felt bad for the entire team, what about you.

It was like what Michael said, his worst day as a owner.

Conway is toast, but Hunter Reay is back in now that Andretti/Green ponied up lots of money to buy him the use of #41 from A J Foyt, leaving poor Bruno Junquiera without a car after he put it in the show at 225 MPH. Speculation is that buying the ride for Hunter Reay's sponsors cost somewhere between $250-500K. This is the second time Bruno had a car bought out from under him and missed Indy after being fast enough.
Word is that Bruno tested some years back for a ride with the Williams F1 team. He was faster than Mark Webber but Willians decided they did not want a South American. Webber ended up a multi-millionare and Bruno scratches around without a full time ride.

Looks like Tony Kanaan got the best part of the bargain when he left. Team Andretti looked pretty decent there for a while, but they really sucked at the Brickyard. Danica is usually a solid top 10 racer/qualifier at most tracks, but this year she's riding around out back. I feel for everyone involved. Missing the 500 hurts bad.
