    Live timing is at least 9 laps behind TV. That's not really live. Taped delayed????

    I can't believe some of the stuff today. Dario wrecks, the debacle at the end, and Power flipping off the camera.

    They should never have started the race? I thought it was a rather good race before the officiating all got a little bit silly. That's what oval racing should be like - drivers forced to brake and handle the cars in the corners properly.

    Even by IndyCar's lowly standards, the conclusion of today's race was quite a shambles. First going green on a still wet track, then acting like the restart had never happened in the first place by reverting back to the order they were running under yellow.

    No, that was far too dangerous to restart like that on an oval on slicks. It was clear from the onboard how much moisture was about. Someone could've been seriously hurt with cars facing the wrong way at those speeds, fortunately all that happened was quite a lot of expensive broken machinery.

    The Sky pundits completely laid into Barnhardt after that interview in the end for suggesting that he'd not received any feedback from the drivers/teams, while pretty much all the drivers had complained and there had been interviews with team owners already broadcast saying that they pleaded with race control.

    I am a little worried for the series at the moment. I've really enjoyed this season, but it's been pretty controversial, and while the current car count is actually very healthy, there doesn't seem to be much new money in the series while there's a lot of added expenses for next year.

    What a shambolic finish. Think the count-back result was the fairest thing to do in the circumstances, but even so it was comedy officiating. We have drivers screaming into their radios that it's too wet to start and we're supposed to believe race control had NO information? Hmm.
