10. Perfect Indy 500 without the controversial last-lap wreck.

10/10

A mostly clean race with a surprisingly clean finish fought hard.

10

I can't think of anything wrong with this race. The ebb and flow of the strategy early on, and the display of incredible driving towards the end. It was easily the best 500 I've seen.

9. The first 100 laps were a bit forgettable due to the fuel saving, but the last 50 laps were absolutely incredible.

I'm hearing people who are saying the Coke 600 was a better race. That makes me physically ill.

I guess some people will never make any sense. Even by Coke 600 standards, it was appalling.

I gave Indy 10. Maybe the first half could have had more action, but I never found myself bored. There's something about Indy that's just a little bit more special.

9, good race. I missed the last two indy 500s but was able to see this one from start to finish and enjoyed it.
