Bottom post of the previous page:

We are in lap 186. Van Kalmthout is pitting. He could make it with only one stop now. But just. Herta also pits.

No safetycar.

Van Kalmthout is slowly going backwards. Needs to save too much fuel.

Rinus is not going to make it without a splash and dash. 3 laps short.

Whats wrong with Johnson? Is it a sub driver out on track.
I mean he is on the lead lap and doing well.....

This is getting tight between Scotty Mac and JoNew

Hmmm that was indeed tight and a bit of a traffic assist for JoNew.

Newgarden had the slingshot on the outside and wins it!

McLaughlin is still here to stay.

Johnson finished 6th. Good race except for the DeFrancesco wankering.

Thoughts from the replay:

If Rossi didn't have bad luck... And pity about GRO. Those Andretti's aren't exactly bulletproof, are they? Then the Herta stop towards the end... Awful day.

Speaking of awful... Zak Brown needs to revisit the witch doctor to make them competitive again.

Sato shunt! He really has cooled in recent years, to be fair.

Kirkwood :(. As an aside, man those Foyt cars were HORRIBLE this weekend.

Texas loves to tear up cars. Good to see them stay out of the grater though. Err, "optimistic" of Defrancesco to try going three wide in that crash though. Really ran to the scene of the accident there needlessly.

Otherwise, the race really turned it up after the half way mark. Some great racing - even in Spanish commentary! Just enough of a second lane - but you need balls to go two wide! I wonder what the racing would be like without the NASCAR rubber there.

JoNew is a jerk, lol. Feel sorry for Scotty, but nice to see Josef do well after a crappy St Pete.

Penske really benefiting going down to three cars. Would be surprised if they don’t win the 500.

Just caught the 30 minute replay. First 150 laps were just going through the motions but after that it got real exciting!

Veekay doing pass after pass at the restart was a highlight. I wonder what Defrancesco is doing in Indy though. I don't know where his previous experience lies but clearly not in oval racing.

Gutted for Scotty to lose it on the final lap but brilliant finish to the race for Newgarden
