I have to admit, I glossed over the starting lineup and didn't even notice the name Alexander Rossi.
Great drive BC. |

I really think Rossi is destined for big things. The kid has a lot of talent.
IMO he should be wheeling one of the Haas F1 cars unfortunately for him he wasn't as connected into the Ferrari pipeline as Gutierrez was. |

BC finished 23rd, was running at the end, and led the 100th lap of the 100th Indy. Not bad for a dirt hero and once a year Indy car driver. Great to see him in the race today and a big thanks to his sponsor and owner for giving him a ride.

Was at the track yesterday. Race was great. Battle between Hinch and Hunter-Ray was awesome. Glad to see Rossi win but would like to have seen him win straight up rather than a fuel mileage race. I still don't understand the appeal of nascar after seeing the number of passes at the 500 yesterday. When you talk Indy car or sprint cars for that matter to nascar fans it is like you are speaking a foreign language. I sat in the traffic yesterday it was well worth it. Thank goodness for open wheel racing.

I've watched all the races since 1964 or so and this was one of my favorite finishes.
I'm not much for fuel saving and such but the race was won the American way by a American. Hard work, get a break and roll the dice. Cry a bit in the car. That teams win shouldn't be diminished because of how he won. It was a perfect race day for us too. After the 500 we raced speedway and my boy won all his races, my daughter was in tears. The "Hillbilly Hotrod" wreckers or checkers and my daughter gets emotional, lol. Pretty cool in small time America. No crashes for us, and the medics didn't have to move all night. Its such a huge contrast a 500 mile race followed by races that last about 48 seconds. It's always my favorite race day. |
