the race to me was too boring...i liked the way bristol was with the spin outs and the attitude from there...i dont like watching 115 green flag laps there....its like watching michigan...too me it was bordering on boring...still a good race...just a boring one...needed to have more action going on like bristol in the last few years

Anybody see the incident with Dario Franchitti and Marco Andretti? These guys are teamates and because of a boneheaded call by someone on the team, (Michael Andretti), Dario may well have lost the championship cause it will be difficult to catch Scott Dixon. Last 3 races aint been too kind to Dario either, when 2 of the last 3 has had him flying thru the air like video game car. If you didint see the incident, Marco was exiting pit just ahead of Franchitti. I would assume since Marco wasnt even in the running for the win or points, Dario naturally figured his teamate would yield so he could pass. Didnt happen. Dario had too much speed and got into of the backend of Marcos ride. As you may know you dont touch Indy cars or ANY open wheel cars cause of the problems that could occur, (if tires touch then hope you have your parachutte on cuz your likely to go airborn very fast, or you could break something on the car that you just might need, like a spoiler in this case). That spoiler breaking on Franchittis ride cost him valuable and much needed downforce. That allowed, Scott Dixon, number 2 in points, to get around him and eventually take the win AND the points lead.
