Little surprised nobody is talking about the race today. I know that there was some passing today. But not as usual indy's. Last several years I have watched or gone to it. I thought the race was phenomenal. Not today. It seemed like it was missing something.
Not a power fan. I lost respect for him after he flipped the fans off few years back when they raced at New Hampshire or Dover. I know it was on the east coast.

He was flipping off Brian Barnhardt, who was race director at the time, not the fans. He was pissed that they restarted in the rain.
Massive Power fan here. He really showed what he had in '09 driving part time. He and Dixon have got to be two of the best, if not THE best ever. They both can win anywhere, and Excel in challenging conditions. Shane neither got a shot at F1, short of Dixons test years ago.

Hats off to Roger Penske's guys for using an alternate strategy to get Power up in front of Carpenter, in clean air, and hold it down. Top shelf finish job, Will!
As for ABC's coverage....... jeez. Did they ever disclaim if Sage Karam lost a wheel or just a tire off of the rim? Seeing that thing bouncing around.... halos? We were staring at another head shot in the making. Luckily it did not happen.

Of the 33 500's we've seen this years' was no worse than a tied for the most boring. It cost $15 a pop more to renew our tickets for 2019, that should unquestionably insure more excitement next year.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
