Andretti peels off to the pits. Munoz is second and Castroneves is third with under 20 to go.

 

[Retroram52]

Eleven laps to go and Dixon has opened up a big lead again but is slowing down to save to fuel.

 

[Retroram52]

With 9 to go, it is Dixon, Castroneves, and Hinchcliffe.

 

[Retroram52]

Let's see who runs out of gas.

 

[Retroram52]

Castroneves the first in the pits because he couldn't make it.

 

[Retroram52]

Dixon has a 14 second lead and he has enough to make it apparently.

 

[Retroram52]

Dixon takes it, saving fuel followed by Newgarden and Castroneves for third. Hinchcliffe ran out of gas. Pagenaud finished 7th and opens a bigger lead on Power with Power's DNF. Bourdais finished 5th.

Kimball in another accident. Tried to pass Power and Power squeezed over to the wall. A couple of no-give drivers getting the same result.

How does Kimball put his car in a dangerous position twice, take to cars out of the race, and likely have just decided the championship by taking out a contender and not even get a second look? He's like the Max Verstappen of Indy Car. I mean, without the talent. Kimball is pathetic.

The move on Rahal was stupid. The one on Power was downright retarded. No one passes out there, no matter the run they have. Glad Graham's okay. That was one hell of a hit.


Poor Hinch. Two weeks in a row, two kicks in the nuts.

Pretty good showing by Daly, and after a few years of watching him in F1, I am surprised that Chilton actually has some speed.

I agree 43 and so did Paul Tracy in the booth. Kimball is a complete klutz.

 

[forty_three]

Speaking of Tracy... Here he is letting the world know what options there are out there for Marco Andretti.


"the only other drive I see him getting is with Uber"

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, Tracy is pretty harsh and especially with anyone named Andretti. He never like Michael and made that well known. Not surprising he is going to be harsh on Marco although he does have a point. Marco has done squat in the nearly 10 years he has been in Indycar.
