Doug T NASCAR does something like this too, but there's far less interesting things going on.

Agreed, I went to this race a few years back and had a blast. It's a shame it doesn't bring more fans out. IT'S INDYCAR, MAN! You can really feel the power to the ground as these cars whiz by at 220+.

DCTib no finish this year has been manipulated

CSXCupSeries 38 I mean Daytona was pretty controversial

Chatty Matty yeah but NASCAR had nothing to do with the outcome Dillon just decided to not let off

STRYKA FPV was 5

jerryl davis rightfully so

jerryl davis yeah it sucks. He was doing so well

jerryl davis It was his fault, he tried to pass on the apron.

okleydokley newb, Carpenter apologized right after the accident, he closed the door on a clean inside pass he wasn't even on the lead lap. Cars often have 1 wheel touching apron.

Wickens has been quite good in DTM but he's even better in Indycar The accident was 50% unlucky and 50% lack of experience

Vincent Metz yep, 600 km.....basically, since "everything's bigger in Texas"....."this ain't no 500, it's 600!!"......silly

Seconded! How awesome that would be!

I might be mistaken, but I feel that all the clamoring that last year's car was ugly may have been a very vocal minority....

is everyone ok

John Anderson I never saw any medical personnel around so I don't believe there were any serious injuries.

Yeah... I was right there. It felt like getting peppered with hot shot gun pellets. A guy a few seats down got a nice piece of a rim. I got hit by the valve stem. Pretty cool.

Mark Carranza Crazy.

No, pack racing needs to be avoided, it's crazy dangerous.

Jack Cowie no not that kind a pack, a kind like what you saw in 2008 one, sure the 2002 car produce some crazy finishes but the nature of the car it is very dangerous. Also oval track had it's charm when there's a pack race rather than single file race.

Noah Rangel 600km

Its in human units, 600 km

Dervig The Texas race has always been denoted in km, whether it was 500, 550, twin 275 or 600.

Strider ohhh. Now I feel stupid. Lol

Noah Rangel dude it’s cool that’s how we learn. I think it’s about 400 miles.

Gustavo Pabon Spiritual because everyone will die.

If you think it was empty this year then based on this boring dud of a race it is going to be more empty next year!

Bob Marley what do you mean?

It's as simple as F1

STRYKA FPV well what I mean is that like when you watch f1 they make it simple and they have their videos in a more simple layout

Giant Squid ^

Bojo David ^^

She was only doing the Indy 500 before retiring as a driver

I will miss of the Danica Patrick

Thanks God, she wont drive in IC in future.

Adriel_oficial People are so creepy about her. She was never a competitive driver in any series.

DaveWBK the Indy 500 would be a big reason. But only 1/3 of the season is spent on ovals. Plus I like the idea of having multiple disciplines to test the cars and drivers.

DaveWBK They aren't. There are currently 11 races on 10 road and street courses compared to only 6 races on ovals. As for road and street courses being more challenging, I think that thinking gravely underestimates the challenge of either discipline. If this were time attack, where you get just the one lap to set the best time, then perhaps, but here that only determines the starting grid. This is racing, which means you have to deal with a whole lot more things. The conditions on track change because temperatures change, rubber is put down, dirt builds up. Your car changes as your tires degrade, the air density changes and your downforce goes with it and you lose fuel so you get lighter over a stint. Then there's strategy, how long can you stay out untill the next stop, how much speed can you maintain and still keep your fuel consumption down, how hard can you push the tires. All this while you are side by side on track at high speeds. Yes, the tracks may seem superficially simple, but the speeds are so much higher and because of that a lot of details become more important. Minor irregularities become major bumps. And you run far more laps than any road or street course so although the number of corners may be small, you do go through them an awefully large number of times. Heck, did you know that to finish the Indy 500 you have to make more turns than to finish the Austrian Grand Prix? Add to that the amplification of any mistakes you make by the speeds you run and how close you are to a wall, and I think you get my point. And above all that, several drivers are simply scared of racing ovals, and among those that aren't, those that try often struggle to compete. That can't be because oval racing is so easy.

Listen pal I love all of indycar. I've being going to the Indy 500 my whole life, which is the greatest race ever. Just wanted to answer a simple question.

Quintinohthree very well put👍

I attended both races in '17 and '18, couldn't agree more. They ruined the race package, the new cars don't race competitively at all. We saw it both at Indy and TMS this year.

I was at both races as well. Last year was the race that got me and my friend hooked on Indycar. I went back this year expecting the same or more and was a bit let down. It's a tough call. The driver's loved this year's race. It was all about true skill and strategy. I have to respect that. But as a fan in the stands; it was very dull. I think Indycar will fine tune the cars and bring back a little more wing next year.
