Anybody following the Michelin problems? It looks like there are some heavy 
team meetings going on as to whether or they withdraw from todays race.

For those who haven't yet heard, Michelin advised the seven teams that use 
thier tires to withdraw from today's race at Indy. They say they cannot insure 
the safety of the tires for today's race. F1 says that that they must use the 
tires that they qualified with or suffer severe penelties. That applies to 14 
out of 20 cars.

Stay tuned. Speed channel at 1:30PM or, I believe, ABC is also covering it.
