I've generally heard it referred to as "wire to wire" actually. I've never really heard "lights to flag".

Markers was a little bit odd though.

I think it's kind of funny that they come back to the worst city in the country, and the track falls apart :lol: .

Well I guess technically it should be flag to flag for the US, I only said lights to flag cos 99.9% of the time races over here are started with lights.

Markers? I was like what the fuck does markers mean? I've never heard points be refereed to as markers before.

I hate change, but I hate it even more when it's done just for the sake of, change, and no other logical reason.

Good run for Dario I have to say. Also some great passing maneuvers by Newgarden in the final laps. Dixon was the class of the field though.

The rain really poured during the afterrace interviews.

no.

lights to flag is for standing start races.

markers and points are interchangeable.

Well done Dixie :D

After losing more of my respect for Dario last week, nice to see someone awesome still flying the Target Flag!

You need to get out more. Been hearing it for ages. Not a big fan of it though!
