I can't believe Helio ran out of fuel on the last lap!
Wouldn't he have been in the points lead had he not run out of gas?

In any case, lots of good racing/passing yesterday. Initially it appeared that the Honda aero kit was inferior to the Chevrolet, but as the announcers mentioned, that kit seems to help preserve rear tires better. Plus, I think Honda teams are still working on tweaking their aero.

I didn't get to watch the whole thing but it sounded like F1 analyst Steve Matchett was one of the announcers yesterday. "get him son, go get'm!!!"
Yeah it was Steve Matchett & Leigh Diffey. That part was entertaining for sure.

hmm...no thread for the race from Barber
There seems to be very little interest.
Let's keep the threads going. I'm sure people will come back to it. Even if not this is Auto Racing Disussion. Let's keep talking about all kinds of racing.

I intend to watch all the street circuit and road course races for IndyCar this season. You have definitely played a role in my desire to start watching IndyCar. So there is a positive impact to what you are doing just the same as AE_Racer for sports cars.

I like it when he refers to Jack Hawksworth as "Young Jack."
