| Tremendous IRL race on Versus
If you are not watching the IRL race at Chicago, you are missing a good one. Side by side racing for lap after lap. Three wide regularly, and keep in mind - open wheels.

| I've never watched more than 2 minutes of this type of racing. I'll admit, the finish was good.
By the way, what's the deal with the over take button? That's a new one to me. | |

| I keep forgetting that the IRL in on Versus. When it was on ESPN/ABC I would go through the channels and watch it when I saw it on. | |

The overtake button is new to the IRL, but CART had it several years ago. It gives a 20 second power boost, and they have a limited number of them. I didn't catch how many.

| I would imagine to help with passing - particularly on tight road courses. It also introduces another strategy element to the driver.
