Red flag as track blocked at Turn 11.

And there's you track blockage, Will Power blocking everyone by putting Pagenaud in the first corner wall

Hope this track never comes back, it’s pointless.

Someone looked up and held the clutch to keep the car running, the rest are all dead stick. He was let through but didn't catch the number

Nope, that's 100 percent on Power, NO chance he makes that corner without bumping Pagenaud

Ok, glad that's not just me and my Will Power is an ass attitude. He can drive with the best but seems to have a Nascar attitude and think he has bumpers at times

IndyCar needs to change the rules. The drivers can't be trusted to behave themselves, especially at a track like this. That last straight and corner before the line is just begging to trigger a mess (like we have seen twice now).
Have them maintain pace lap speed until they get close to the line and DO NOT allow them to go until the starter shows the green flag. Problem solved. |

What's the under and over for red and yellow flags this race? 10?

Tux, it's the luck of the draw. It's entirely possible to have blockages at key points at Long Beach, Toronto, and elsewhere. There's not a street circuit you can name that's been around any particular length of time that hasn't had a jam-up.
Heck, how many times has NASCAR jammed up a track, including Sonoma and Watkins Glen, where they've had 80-100+ ft of width of space to work with? |

And we agree with PT?
Herta having a Power style ECU problem? |

Dale Coyne was saying on IndyCar radio, that the call for the green should happen earlier at Turn 10.

What?? Pags get penalized by being hit but Power didn't get moved back? Or did we miss that? Pags back to the rear of the blockage cars. JJ carrying parts for his car to help out. But DQ'd for work under the red. They can argue it but where's the rear bodywork? Seems like they did something |

“We didn’t do any work” - the front wing was off, rear bodywork off, car was up on the air jacks..

Indy officials COMPLETELY screwed the pooch, Power gets away with zero penalty for completely destroying the race
Especially as Ed Jones got avoidable contact penalty for his incident. No consistency at all |

The Captain is going to be... shall we say... a bit miffed that one of his cars got DQ'd because one of his teams didn't know the rules.

I ducked out to do some things in the yard during the red flag. Did the leaders pit for fuel and tires?

I just came back to edit my post... Too late.
I'm an idiot. I misheard the audio and thought that a Penske car got DQ'd for putting the car up on jacks during the red flag. My bad. |
