On qualifying and the rain

Kimi Raikkonen took pole for tomorrow's French Grand Prix but Lewis Hamilton, whose been stuck with a 10-grid penalty for his pitlane accident in Montreal, is praying for thunderstorms in tomorrow's Grand Prix. My prediction: If it stays dry, Ferrari will win because its chassis still favors the Bridgestones in the dry. If there's a sudden downpour, then keep an eye out for both McLaren and BMW.

Dario Franchitti isn't too pleased that he failed to make the cut in NASCAR's first road course race this season. His car was "too loose," leaving him out of the race at Sonoma.

Indycar in Iowa: Danica Patrick was fastest in testing at the speedway - but qualifying isn't until 6:30 p.m. tonight. You can watch it live at the official Indycar site.
