Anyone watching? Did Bob Jenkins just say green flag in an hour? I'm not going to be able to stay up for this...
 
AMAZING FINISH!!!

But, once again, same problem IRL's had all year: Predictable result.:rolleyes:

The series will always suck if Ganassi and Penske continue to win every single race.
 
It was the 4th closest race in IndyCar history with Briscoe winning by .0077 of a second in front of Dixon. Congrats to Ryan Briscoe.

I don't watch Indy alot, but nothing was on T.V. last night, so I peaked at it a little. What a finish, the end kind of resemble 'Dega with all the cars bunch together and all. Indy cars seem to have a lot of car control. Those cars were zipping this way and that.

I figured he had a real shot at the podium late in the race there.

I am suprised Danica didnt get a podium.:(

Hate to break it to you, but Danica's a mediocre driver (at best). She was a top 5 driver when they had 15 cars. Now that they have 20-30 cars, she's barely been a top-10 driver.

Uhhhh, is that why she's 5th in points???:rolleyes:

Her biggest problem right now is AGR, who can't seem to play along together even with their own teammates, and even when they do, the whole team is mired mid-pack.
