My bonehead for this week goes to Fox and their awful commercial placement, especially during the first stage. Toward the end of the stage, they'd run commercials, show a few laps, and got to commercials again, etc. They got behind and tried to catch up in the worst way.
 
I like Hambone for the bonehead. Speeding on pit road, goes a lap down. Gets called down by the booth when he was crying that HE was the lucky dog when he wasn't. Telling his crew that they needed to tell the 20 crew of Bell to pit so HE would get the lucky dog and he wouldn't get the lucky dog if they did.

But did you really miss anything?
 
I vote Sawalich. He had zero business making a move for the lead and wrecking Mayer on the last lap while not even being on the lead lap.
 
I only saw two shots of the throttle settings. The leader was at around 50%, and SvG in the back was at 37%. Mercifully the booth didn't make an issue out of it like the gerbils did last year. It pays to be smarter than the gerbils and know it's only a temporary thing common to plate tracks. All bets are off the last 25 laps or so.
