Yikes, that was a massive hit for Askew.

The race itself has been pretty dull for me. Dixon looks like he'll take an easy win unless strategy screws him.

Wrecks. Other than that it's the usual waiting game for the last 60 laps.

The starts have been far too racey. Otherwise, yes, pretty dull. But if I was a driver, I would keep my powder dry and not do anything stupid early on.

Dixon easily has the speed. Otherwise the Andretti cars, or some strategy fluke.

I'm looking forward to your Gateway race thread complete with speculation of Mongol intervention, and whether Genghis Khan was the first CEO of Bommarito Automotive Group.

Dont they give penalties for unsafe release? Rossi just drove straight into Sato.
