you never get a bad indy 500. quality guaranteed, i think sport is at its best when it tense. its why play offs in football deliver some of the entertaining games of the season. as brings out them emotions that being relaxed doesnt. thats sort where F1 gone wrong for so long. most of races are "relaxing". but that physicoanalyzing is for another thread
but really enjoyed it, you rarely get a bad ending because most oval races always manage to build to dramatic ending. Dixon will be

off. best driver all day but i seemingly mentioned this earlier the 500 in the nicest possible sense has always been a lottery. because there so many variables with pitstops depending on cautions & fuel mileage. felix being a great example looked good pitted & needed the rossi caution. but a quick one. long one stuffed him. as meant everyone could make it on 1 stop as well. sato & dixon is great example of simple v complicated. sato took the lead fuel saved as much as he could & just hoped it would be enough. dixon drops back to get in the slipstream & get him at the end. but its gamble. pigot doesnt crash dixon wins but IF is biggest word in motorsport. but with double points he will console himself with a 73pt lead & a likely 6th championshp
firstly thank god for the tyres at the pit entry. because like a few crashes today terrifying. they saved the worst til last. thats the dilemma because it huge anti climax to end it under yellow as we always want to end under green. but their mustve been too much damage. they made the decision that would having to wait 30 mins have been an anti climax as well as all the driver adrenalin gone from max to none
on final you hope F1 & IndyCar can find away Monaco & indy500 dont clash. so the 3 big races of motorsport have there time to shine
