Surely a block is when you impede the other driver? Power drove round the outside of him!!

Worst call I've seen in motor racing. Wonder if Penske will appeal since Power didn't win.

Its not. Blocking is when you move your vehicle over lanes of traffic, to impede another driver. Helio came out of the corner, went all the way to the inside line, and held his car the whole straightaway there. Awful call.

Will Power - "He blocked me" 8O

Nice of Sky to cut the interview off just after he said that line.

In fairness, he did swing wide about 8-10 feet to widen the arc for the corner - but not until after Power had already swung wide to take his chosen line for the corner. Especially in this case, where the track is 100 feet wide, we can't be pussying around saying a 10 foot move when you have 50 feet to the next nearest car is blocking - especially when it has zero effect on the progress of the other car.

The rule has been taken completely too far since Indy - it's time for Barnhart to go.

At least the commentators don't kiss Indycar's ass with every decision they make like in NASCAR broadcasts.
