Bottom post of the previous page:

Wheldon is having radio communications issues.

Danica went into the marbles and almost drove into the wall.

Yellow is out on lap 135.

Wheldon had just taken the lead from Tony when the young Andretti crashed. Getting into the marbles Marco hit the T4 wall. After that he slid into the inside wall, almost hitting the leader.

Dan comes in with 14 to go. He can't make it.

However some cars pitted very late during the yellow, can they make it? :dunno:

Great finish!

Everybody pitted and Dan had to take more fuel than Kanaan so TK went into P1. He won the race by two car lengths.

Thanks to the IRL website which first claimed the race would start at 2AM my time I missed the race, as after it changed to 3am I decided I needed the sleep. If it had said the correct start time I just would've gone to sleep earlier and woken up for the start... :roll:

Caught the last 15 laps, though, and the pit roulette was quite interesting. Had the race been 201 laps it could've got very exciting finish as Wheldon could've made a final lap move for the lead...
