Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

In fairness, that wasn't Chilton's fault

Wouldn't blame TK either, likely got a late call and would have no idea Chilton was suddenly that close. Just one of those things.

Sorry Indycar, but leaving cars in dangerous positions on track just because some teams and fans whined last race about closing the pits is just not on at all

If Rahal had been hurt by some driver hitting him when they could've easily thrown the yellow to cover it, they'd have been sued to high heaven, and quite right too

Racing, like life, has an element of chance, and Indycar should always err on the side of caution

Fan forums like Robin Miller's mailbag were unbearable after the last race with people whining about the lottery element

Safety comes first. If the yellow comes out, its for a damn good reason, nothing to do with your pit strategy. Get over it

Cars have Mirrors. Chilton was committed, TK was late entering and pushed him off the road

Needs a penalty for that

6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other. Chilton had committed but took so much extra speed he didn’t give himself any margin for someone ahead of him doing what Kansan did. Kanaan’s entry was late but wasn’t to know what Chilton was doing.

He's like a fine wine. Feel like he's a better all-round driver now than he was during his BAR years

After St Petersburg they said it would be ad free. COTA was, and so was this up until the last 20 laps. I'm going to assume someone pressed the wrong button rather than them trying to sneak ads back in
