We saw the Sharp black flag incident on the international feed - which uses the same pictures. Maybe the domestic coverage was on one of its numerous adbreaks or pointless features they play while the race is still going on! |

I couldn't agree more.... and when she did go in to get the nose cone...the gamble they took to try to go the distance paid off when everyone else pitted on lap 173... Rahal himself admitted that he did not think she had the car to fight her way through 9 other cars to the front following that incident unless they took that gamble..... She would have been 9th or 10th without them taking that gamble...and it paid off.... But as I said earlier as well, overall, I thought she drove a great race..... and as one of the people standing the entire last 20 laps cheering and yelling, I can tell you that she and the others in the hunt at the end created one of the three most exciting finishes I've seen at Indy in the last 25 years.... |

I found Sharps take on the black flag incident, even though I somehow missed the whole thing! Maybe you were right KB, maybe it was during all those damn commercial breaks!
On the penalty: “First of all, I am sorry to Buddy [Lazier] and sorry to the team. That put us back a couple of spots at the end. It was the kind of thing that was going on all day long. It happened hugely to me several times and it sort of seemed like that was the way racing was today. I had been held up coming off of Turn Two and moved to the inside. I knew Buddy had a run on me, but he had the whole three or four lanes to the right of me to go by. Instead he chose to take about a half a lane on the inside and I didn’t think he was really there and we touched. I thought he had the momentum and was going around the outside. I am glad that we were both able to finish.” |

Just watched the race today (taped it but havent had the time to watch it)
Awesome! the best race I have seen all year, probably one of the best I have ever seen. 2 wide in corners and 4 wide on straights, lots of overtaking, just great to see. Oval racing at it's best |
