Andretti Autosport Finally Putting It Together?

Ryan Briscoe dominated the race from when he won the pole to when he crossed the finish line after lap 228.

So the Penske/Ganassi win streak continues, which shouldn't surprise many people. The big surprise of this race is the finishing order of all four Andretti Autosport cars. All four drivers finished in the top seven positions, with the biggest surprise being Danica Patrick's second place finish.

Marco Andretti drove his way to a second consecutive third place finish, coming off last week's Indianapolis 500 race. Tony Kanaan and Ryan Hunter-Reay weren't up front most of the night, but they were there when it counted—at the end.

After none of the Andretti Autosport drivers qualified well for the Indianapolis 500 a couple of weeks ago, they have really picked up the pace since.

Marco Andretti finished in third at the 500, Danica had a sixth place finish, and Tony Kanaan started the race in last place and was up to second at one point in the race before finishing 11th due to fuel problems.

With all four Andretti Autosport drivers finishing in the top seven in tonight's race at Texas, things are definitely looking up for the best team not named Penske or Ganassi.

With one more oval race before a long series of street/road courses, the team really needs to keep the momentum going, because their biggest threat to win any of the street/oval courses (RHR) might be finished for the season. If Ryan can get some sponsorship money to race the rest of the season, look for someone other than Penske/Ganassi to challenge for the Championship this year.
