I hate how this race ended.
This feels SO fabricated if they change the rules at the last minute.
Instead of normal extra lap they skip that just now ??

That is facbricate and so unfair!

I like Newgarden, he can win but not like this! I feel that was so undeserved!
Ericsson was really screwed by the race control!

J Jay · 28 May 2023, 20:15 (Ref:4158566)

Congrats Newgarden. Not a fan of the track-sweeping.

Whatever F1 can do...

Josef!

**Adam43** · 28 May 2023, 20:15 (Ref:4158568)

The weaving is unpleasing to watch.

Define deserve? Guess others who got hit didn't deserve to be out early, cars break, drivers wreck, strategy calls suck and you can only do what's offered and race what's on track

**bjohnsonsmith** · 28 May 2023, 20:16 (Ref:4158570)

It shouldn't have ended like that but if it had ended under yellow earlier, would that have been better?

It should have ended when he was leading at the first red flag, so I'll disagree.

Would've preferred Ericsson to win, obviously, but I can't be mad about that finish. Good pass by Newgarden and always nice to see a first-time winner (of the '500).

**Adam43** · 28 May 2023, 20:17 (Ref:4158573)

Congratulations to Newgarden. Nice to see him win.

broadrun96 · 28 May 2023, 20:17 (Ref:4158574)

Guess he's gonna greet all 300k individually to thank each one before seeing the boss to get his trophy and scissor lift ride

He now needs to climb the fence. Although on the wrong side!

It would've saved me from listening to NBC commentators for the last hour, so yes.

But seriously, I feel like they changed some rules for this finish so I would still say yes.

J Jay · 28 May 2023, 20:18 (Ref:4158577)

The best driver on the grid not to have won (before this race).

Edit - Apparently I can't remember what I saw five minutes ago.

rika · 28 May 2023, 20:19 (Ref:4158578)

I feels fabricated by last-minute change of rules.

So that why I say no not deserved

**Adam43** · 28 May 2023, 20:19 (Ref:4158579)

That was fixed! Penske wins and who owns the track. It’s a joke.

Had the race finished under yellow it would have been Newgarden's anyway. He looks like a man made by that win, despite already being a champion.

No I think? You mean last yello, I think??

Ericssson was ahead, no?

**Adam43** · 28 May 2023, 20:21 (Ref:4158582)

New rule is needed. Ban partners from holding water bottles.

I'll take your word for it, I thought he was.

Don't think like that but last-minute change of rule is fishy, no?

Ericsson was in the lead when the yellow came out.

I’m just trying to get the hang of this internet posting thing. Am I not getting it right?

I don’t know what the rule is.

What last minute change of rule are you on about? Can you reference A SINGLE RULE that was violated, article and section please

Is there a hard-and-fast rule for restarts in Indycar (a quick Google doesn't suggest so)? It's not hard to see why they want to end a race under green if at all possible.

Not a great ending for continuity reasons but it's over. Only 365 more days till Rahal gets the win.
