Bottom post of the previous page:

This is breathtaking. That three-wide was incredible.

@HC - yeah, I thought I'd read it somewhere but fort the life of me I couldn't remember where. Thanks.

Stupid mistake from Graham, it destroyed Rice's car.

Wouldn't wanna be Rahal now, going 215 to find out if nothing has been broken.

Whenever they bring out cautions for debris, I always think there's some kind of ulterior motive as none of the drivers are exactly crashing into each other and breaking bits off...

Accident in the pits...lots of damage to Rice's car.

Another yellow is out but we've gone to an advert break just as the flag flew.

Viso spun into the T4 wall and slid into the infield.

Kanaan and Castroneves are battling for most laps led and the bonus points that come with it.

Franchitti says he hopes to be in the Ganassi car for the non-points race next month at Surfers Paradise in Australia.

Hideki into the pit with mechanical problems, this will maybe hand rookie of the year to Wilson. But Justin will have to make up some more spots.

Moraes has touched the wall lightly, but enough to put him out.

Rahal crashes at the restart with 10 to go. Hopefully we will have a shootout after this, no more cautions, lets decide the championship!

Congratulations to Scott Dixon on becoming the 2008 IndyCar Series championship! This certainly makes up for the one that got away and he will enjoy it more than the 2003 one I think as he's now more of a veteran.

He also won the race in the closest finish ever in IRL.

IMS radio is saying that Helio has won the race, Castroneves now moved to victory lane.

Castroneves is off to find a fence, what a strange turn off events. Certainly ends the season in style.
