The final oval race of the season takes place at the trickiest triangle on planet Earth. With two races left, Juan Pablo Montoya still has the points lead, but Graham Rahal is closing in at a rapid rate after consistent finishes, including wins at Fontana and Mid-Ohio. So how will IndyCar fuck this up?

The last two races here have been green flag barn burners. I suspect this third (and probably last) installment will be a little more yellow happy. Will once again be in attendance.

Any bets?

Montoya will be a contender for sure. Dixon might do well too. Besides them it seems like a crapshoot.

Marco is fast here and I suspect Helio will have something to say perhaps.

Montoya 3:1
Power 4:1
Helio 4.5:1
Rahal 4.5:1
Marco 7:1
Dixon 10:1
Hunter-Reay 12:1

Catch fence again. Thankfully it was the rear and kind of a glancing blow but that's going to be a repair.

It was kinda like the Indianapolis crashes since the DW12 started running. Whipped around, hit with the left side, pitched the right side up and then lifted more because it was catching the air.

Jesus! I'm not home and can't watch. Did the car lift after he spun or after he hit the wall?

Hit the wall and carried on a bit before it caught air. Scrubbed off enough speed to just kind of glance off the fence.

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.
