Could there be a more popular win?

YES! ED CARPENTER!! My guess wasn't bad, and I knew it! Too bad I choose a different winner in Pickem...

Will Ed Carpenter get his first win here?

YES! Score one for the little guy, or should I say, gal.

BTW, Graham Rahal is in desperate need of a new strategist.

[00steven]

No.

Ouch!

What an amazing last couple of laps.
Congrats to Ed Carpenter and Sarah Fisher Racing, long overdue first victory.
And yet another disastrous race for Penske Racing.

Pit lane was crazy today!

Congrats to Ed Carpenter for the win. That was awesome! It sucks about Marco, had that not happened in pit lane, I think we would of seen that Venom car in victory lane.

Amazing race by Carpenter. I cannot believe the bush league from D&R racing in the pits. Nobody from Bia's crew even bothered to LOOK for an incoming car. This wasn't Will's fault and he very likely lost the Championship on this. Add insult to injury and Bia crashes and ruins any chance for a Power fuel strategy win. So we have 18 points going into Vegas, which means if Power wins, Dario needs to finish worse than 4th. This is gonna be a race! My wife and I will be there to catch it and I'm happy it's going in close. I'd prefer a Power lead, but whatever.

Now on to Carpenter...SO HAPPY he got a win. This is a great finish for an "independent" team and give hope for the non-Penske or Ganassi teams. Also, not to take this off topic, for all the fans who think ovals are boring, when was the last indycar road/street race that had a photo finish like this one? My wife and I were hardly breathing watching the last 15 laps of this race. This was better than the last 4 road courses put together, even though "our guy" didn't do so well.

I can't wait for Vegas!

Ed! Ed! Ed! Well done!

Finally, one of the good guys wins! It's about time. Way to go Ed and Sarah!

Sarah said after the race that Dollar General was not coming back next year. Does this spell doom for SFR? I sure hope not. I love it when the good guys win.
