That was an incredible race. Thrilled for Sato, and nice to see TK up there again.

Dixie's damage came from debris on track from one of the 3 engine blow ups in K&N race

Paul Tracy said during the pre-race he picked up a spring off the track, so they obviously didn't do a very good job at clearing the debris

Amazing race, happy for Sato, from sliding on the roof to victory lane in one week!

I really hope Ferrucci is growing up on a personal level as much as he's doing driving. He's growing on me on the track but it's difficult to just brush off the recent past.

Just watched, already knew it was a cracker and that always hinder my enjoyment of the race way more than you can imagine.

Still had a blast. First 150 laps nice but not great. Then it was epic.

Track was hard to pass but not impossible, tyre wear, people going for fuel savings and others not. Small teams doing great. Caution shaking things up for the better and a 5 car battle for the win with Sato and TK starting up front. Only more perfect if the TV focused on the leaders more on the last lap and Carpenter got closer to Sato on the finish line.

But for a short track, this is WAY more than we always have.

NBCSN and Indycar are gonna need to work harder on the redemption arc, especially if he keeps digging himself deeper holes...

I really don't get why drivers these days feel the need to get involved in bitching matches with each other on Twitter.

Just shut the fuck up and drive.

Because there is twitter now for a while, they're getting used to it. Specially after all the Pocono controversy.

I wasn't sure what the big deal was over the Ferrucci/Newgarden thing until I watched on a bigger screen and saw the fucking huge swerve he pulled. Looks like he was caught sleeping tbh.

I'm surprised Ferruchi hasn't tried NASCAR already, his kind of b.s would go down a treat there

Imagine him being schooled on douchbaggery by Kyle

Kanaan slammed the door on him. I don't like Santucci but that move was okay in the last corner of a race imho.

Kanaan closing the door yes, that was fine. Ferrucci aggressively moving back onto the racing line was absurdly stupid. Had it been a road course, or on a straight it would have been ok. Considering the huge speed differential he gave Newgarden two choices... brake, which would have sent the car to outside of the turn, into the marbles and into the wall... or go for the inside of the turn, which he did.
