How could you tell? According to race control, no. We have no reason to doubt it, I guess.Quote:

why no love for Alex Lloyd, while everyone goes gaga for Danica for barely passing one car one the race track.
wheres the tabloids for Alex being in a small team and still took 3rd.
glad Conway was ok from that serious wreck, but I would've like to see the race end under green.
again no luck for TK, you really have to feel for the guy, going from 32nd to 2nd and the fuel milage killed him.
thanks for all the commercials ABC, I really thought there was a race yesterday, and Indy was empty this year.
I believe that you cant blame the tracks for not getting people to attend, the tickets arent the money killer, its the freaking hotels that have robbed people in not wanting to go anymore to races. until Hotels stop jacking up rates for race weekends, there will continue to be poor crowds at all racing events
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that alot of people were not in their seats due to the sun. Reports that 1500+ people were attended to at the Infield Medical Center for heat exhaustion and other heat related illnesses are coming through.Quote:

I believe it was the highest race day temperatures since 1993 or something along those lines?
I was looking at the sattelite cam from Race control. These large stretches of empty seats were empty from before the start way until the finish. 240k would be a reasonable guess if you add the infield.Quote:

Great race from my opinion. Lot of nice and clean fights and passes - lucky no big accidents til end.
Sadly the attendance was really not what it should have been.
I'm trying to remember what lap Conway pitted for fuel after he was leading? Given everyone else was tippy toeing around when the yellow came out, he could've been on for a great finish. I know he has a bit of a reputation as a crasher, but now we've heard RHR's side of things, I don't think we can blame him for this one. Not much you can do when the car in front coughs and dies without warning, and not as though he drove over him after the finish, eh Dario? :)Quote:

This topic has come up before, so I checked the lap charts that show positions at start finish. I probably missed a few, but Danica made about 7 passes and was passed about the same number of times. Most of these were back and forth with the same people. She and the 19 traded positions a number of times. Both ran near the back of the pack until the fuel economy run at the end elevated them to the top 10. I can't see how either could be called out for great races. They just got good fuel economy and didn't make mistakes.Quote:
