Hayden has really improved in the late part of the season. Poor Benny, being from So Cal isn't helping him, we get like 0.5 days of rain in this ...... Three Americans in top ten ain't bad.

Whats impressive is the fact that he is 13 and the other front runners are 15-17 years old.He had Indy in the bag till the rains came.I have heard that he was the talk of the paddock among the Gp Teams at Indy.If he kicks ... this weekend they will drooling for his services in a few years.
 
Yeah Southern californians dont do well in the rain the people out here cant even drive a car in the 5 days a year it rains out here. Luckily benny is getting exposed to all kinds of tracks and weather elements at an early stage of his career so it should get a little easier a few years down the road hopefully he can get a good result good luck to all the kids
