Dixon gets a pit lane speeding penalty and his day is essentially done.

Under the yellow, everybody is in the pits. Here is where the race will be won.

Yellow Flag out and Marcus Ericsson wins it. O'Ward is second, Kanaan is third, and Rosenqvist is fourth. Rossi finishes 5th.

I attended a race, may have been the 2014 race that ended under yellow, where Castroneves lost out to Hunter. And it’s just unsatisfying when your watching a race for a few hours, and sh happens and the cars get closed up and it’s an all-new race to the finish. Maybe ban finishing under the yellow.

Yea jvett. This time, the Indy 500 officials Red-Flagged the event after the Jimmy Johnson crash to assure that there was at least a couple of Green Flag racing laps left even though this 500 did finish under Yellow with Ericsson out front. The only logical resolution would be to do the Green/White/Checkered approach of NASCAR. That has been suggested to IndyCar but the governing body declined the proposal especially for the Indy 500.

BTW. If they did do the G/W/C approach, Ericsson was going to win this race anyways because his car was just too dominant for O'Ward even though I get your point.
