Fuel miledge races are her forte. Wait for everyone else to pit and hope for a caution.

She ran 12th to 15th all day.

Ain't no podiums at Indy.

Ya gotta wonder if the brand owns stock in the word "um"

Congratulations Dario! Was kind of hoping to see the last lap desparation between He and Wheldon, but for sure the right driver and car won. I couldn't even enjoy the ending until I saw them take Conway's helmet off which was a good sign -- Hunter-Reay may be seeing yellow and blue in his nightmares for a while. I disapproved of the attention they gave Danica when she was mired at the back not doing much, but that's a redeeming finish both for her and the team. (meaning the car was bad as she pointed out in the worst way possible, the team looked to be a bit disheveled, but the overall package still churned out a top 5) TK was tons of fun to watch today. Also, my Mid-Ohio ticket with Dario's signature on it just got a lil' more special!

These might not be the final results because there was some passing after the yellow.
Anyways, great results by Alex Lloyd and also Simona de Silvestro as best rookie :up:

Great job by Danica for finishing 5th!

It's a great finish but I wouldn't exactly call it a great job. She was largely uncompetitive and by far the worst performance on the AA team (not counting part-time John). Very fortunate finish but come on, keep things in perspective. She had just been passed by Conweasel and RHR with Wilson, Power, Castroneves, TK, Tag and Rahal all ready to pounce with full fuel. And the front of that group was actually passing her when the Conweasel turned himself into a missle. The yellow not only moved her up 2, it kept her from losing at least 5 or 6 more with Marco probably still to be moved in front of her. I'll give her credit for bringing it home as she always seems to do but great job? Hardly.

Incidentally, that yellow not only helped her but possibly won the thing for Dario. Would've been interesting to see who had the fuel to make that last lap and who didn't huh?

Happy for Dario & Danny.
