Didn't maintain yellow flag speed, so they got passed under the yellow; it's not Weldon's fault that Hildebrand failed to maintain his pace after the yellow flew.

Panther Racing could have a point with their protest. Rules state that field is frozen when yellow comes out. That's how Helio beat Paul Tracy several years ago.

If they go by what happened today, then Paul really did win THE 500!

For the older folks on here, how many of you remember when they had the winners dispute between Uncle Bobby & Mario? How long did it take for that mess to get fixed?
