Oh what a surprise, Penske and Ganassi upfront I LOVED IndyCar racing for soooo many years but this 2-3 team dominance is really getting old. I'm so disappointed with the quality of racing seen since the (re)merger . Anyway, good run for Graham but it's a road course so not that surprising, I'm still hoping PT will pull out a Cinderella-style win soon.
The race almost went the whole way without a caution. But with 2 laps to go Tomas Scheckter goes into the wall. This would of been the first race in IndyCar history to go all the way without a caution.
Here are the results..
1. #12 Will Power

I watched the race was kind of boring but atleast the best car won this race. Also TK's bad luck bites again i really hope he didnt get burned to badly from the incident on pit road.
