Had similar issues on Thursday. NBN Updates. They only installed it all 6 months ago FFS and now they have to dig up the streets and upgrade it already. WTF.

Dixon's season has taken a complete nosedive. Starting 15th for race 2.

JoNew starting 9th.

Power wins before Herta, Rossi, JoNew and Pato. Dixon 8th. The championship will go down to the wire.

Yeah, but still a long shot for anyone bar Dixon. He only needs to finish 9th I think it is regardless of anyone else. No double points in this years finale.

Mind you the gap has come down from a one time gap of over 100 points buffer to now being 32 points.

A win from pole with most laps led totals 54 points compared to 22 for being classified ninth, and that win would be Newgarden’s fourth, tying him with Dixon on that metric also.

Dixon would therefore take the title courtesy of his two second placings compared to JoNews’s one.

Second race was good by IndyCar standards, awesome by F1 standards. But the first race was an absolute barnstormer.

Finally saw the highlights for the second race. Looked good too.

Didn't think I would ever say that of races on the IMS RC.
