Newgarden wins and is the points leader. Man, if he keeps this up... |

I can't take credit for this, @ RtN uses it quite often so maybe it's his name? |

It was either Twitter or Atlas, can't remember which. |

Newgarden administered a clinic. |

Newgarden close to an IndyCar title in his first Penske year. That gotta hurt, Helio.. |

Mid Ohio just plain always delivers nothing for me. I don't get the appeal. |

Me neither, although it was a bit better in the 90s. |

I think it's a typical example of those tracks that are technically challenging and probably fun to track-day on, but just aren't cut to provide visually appealing racing. |

The racing was great around the first pit stop, but then Dixon's troubles split up the field too much to make it more interesting, not to mention Gutierrez... |

It's a fantastic driving-challenge layout, with brutal elevation changes and tricky turns. It looks pretty, too. The racing itself usually isn't great, but it's one of those tracks where I enjoy the cars going around it enough that the race doesn't have to be a barnburner for me to enjoy it. Plus it does lend itself to some exciting moments, they just can get spaced out, and you usually get few yellows so it's a more predictable race. And it is great to attend in person, no doubt. I went in 2003 and sat in turn 4 and had a blast. |

Like, the only legit cool turn is T1. Otherwise, it's just way too slow and technical. It's a track for Miatas and little else at this point, IMO. |

Turns 4 and 5 are awesome as hell. I love how hard braking turn 4 is, yet it's also fast and has some good banking, then turn 5 lets people fight back if they're side by side. I also love how light the cars get in turn 9 with that crest right in the middle of the corner. |
