Great race, only 2 FC yellows instead of a crash fest like we've seen lately. I was hoping James Hinchcliffe would have won it, he was looking strong. Bummer Will Power had that issue and wound up in the back of the pack, would have liked him to finish closer to Franchitti and tighten up the points chase. All in all a great race.

 

Dixon had too much car for everyone else. Power had loose handling. Franchitti's now in the catbird seat. Nice driver intro s2k lap (like St. Petersburg).

 

Props for Takuma Sato for finishing 4th too! . He's been inching toward the front of the pack, with two pole qualifying (I think it was 2) only to run into some bad luck and get pushed off the track. Not sure if they have a budget of Ganassi or Andretti Green racing, but their cars seem very competitive (Kanaan finishing right behind Sato).

 

I never cheered for Dixon until yesterday....

Is that you driving?

 

yep

 

I didn't catch the race, and only saw a few minutes before the start, but I saw the driver parade on TV as it was coming back into the paddock/pit area. Brought back memories of the monsoon a few years ago.

 

Yeah, it was nice to see Sato doing well.

 

Congrats to Dixon. This has been coming for a while. He has had a lot of bad luck recently.

 

Hey Gary, because of that day, I'll always reserve a spot for ya
