    Great call by race control to stop the race!

    Well-deserved win by Hunter-Reay (first victory by an American driver since Hornish Jr. back in 2006)! If they hadn't red-flagged the race, we would have been robbed of a great finish.

    Great race,and a great call by Indycar to red flag it. I realize Indycar isn't making a big splash with the fans, but it's not the fault of the on track product. it's been very good.

    Who else thinks that the inside pass Ryan made near the end of the race was a total bone headed "red mist" move. Ryan seems to be prone to that sort of thing lately.

    And what might have been if Juan wasn't sited for a pit speed violation? It looked like their fuel strategy was playing out rather well.

    The finish was like watching FVees at Phillip Island.

    Somehow, with all the close finishes they've had in recent years. They don't feel as intense as the 92 race did.

    I guess someone who saw FVee at Phillip Island would understand that. The rest of us are "????".
