IndyCar Texas 2016 Last Laps Finish
@paulsarna5066 5 жыл бұрын
Before the 2017 Texas race, I saw Bobby Rahal parked on a scooter and I said "tell your son not to celebrate until he crosses the finish line" and he rolled his eyes, smiled and said "Believe me, I told him".
@jackietang3789 3 жыл бұрын
Yep, correct if his son's hand came up moments earlier he would've lost the race.

@@JT29501 this was the re-running of this race. It was originally started earlier that year but got rained out 13-14 laps in so it was rescheduled. Tickets were super cheap but people weren’t able to plan for it in their schedule like the regular race weekend so the stands weren’t super crowded. Spent a decent amount of time just walking around the fan accessible areas during practice and hardly had to shuffle through any crowds at all. They also dipped into old stock to give away and ended up with a tshirt for a race I’d attended 10 years prior to this one.

It rained all weekend, they started the race and tried to get it in and just couldn't... And a whole bunch of drivers were going to Le Mans the next day so they couldn't extend the race to the week... So the next open week was over a month later and was hastily scheduled.
