I dont think that was a dull race. The strategies from Kanaan and Newgarden made it pretty exiting for me.

Hah, Will Power clearly knows he fucked up but can't bring himself to admit it.

Doesn't matter if you let him go, it was way too dangerous.

There's no point blocking like that anyway on a track this wide. The guy was gonna get by anyway, why put yourself on a dirtier and tighter line?

And well,, it sounds harsh but I like the idea of Pocono being on the schedule more than I like watching the races here... :whistling:

Cruising around with low fuel settings in conservation mode all day...fuck that shit, man. Painfully boring.

Maybe they should just forget the 400 mile/500 big number quest and just work out a full tank of gas x 4 or whatever they need to do to ensure running full rich is the quickest way around this race instead of there being an advantage for saving fuel.

This'll go down about as well as the "srs" suggestion about dividing the pit lane tbh ;)

And that doesn't include all the shit he did pre-Indy that he didn't get cited for.

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.

Of course Tracy would know Roger Penske is calling a team meeting sometime down the line...he DID drive for him.

So I missed the entire race, does someone have an objective opinion about it?

Quite dull (from an objective point of view). Fuel saving all over till lap 160. First yellow came and some people gambled in another yellow and other went full on during the race. Montoya was fastest and went full on during last stint, got past Power with an amazing move and secured his win. The other frontrunner Kanaan gambled on another yellow, which didnt came and had to make a splash for fuel. And Power fucked up himself, again.

Pretty much. Once again we enjoyed ourselves at the track.

Getting home was a nightmare! Getting out the track was good, but I-84 back to CT was a disaster. Just got home to find my DVR fucked up and recorded nothing... No Indy, British GP or Daytona...
