That last 30 laps was the most unbeleivable racing action i've seen since the champ car race in 2001 at Fontana. A big kudos ( even though it cost him big time in the championship) to Will Power having the presense of mind to safely bring the car out of harms way when he ran out of fuel And one final word: DAMN, CHIP IS SMART! Congrats Dario on one hell of a win!

I thought the strategy was good. I thought the Telecast was great! Overall Im still kinda puzzled by this type of on track racing? The drivers look helpless out there not being able to go anywhere. I think Marco was stuck in 2nd for most of the race. I dont recall any complete passes

One of THE BEST races I have ever seen. A record for lead changes (WITHOUT the Hanford device). This race is the answer to the question, "Why would anyone watch a road race"??

The race was entertaining. I think that getting rid of "overtake button" would have made it better. Very few cars were able to complete a pass, forcing 3 wide racing nose to tail. There were many close calls, and one mistake by one of the leaders could have taken out most of the field. I like Sarah and think she is a class act, but when she can keep the whole field behind or beside her, something is wrong. My $.02 Craig

Maybe keep the P2P for roadies only? Jordan

PTP was instituted to make it legal because at least two teams (You can guess which two!)were able to defeat the rev limiter that the IRL was using at the time. Like a lot of things, they couldn't police it so they made it legal.

I was gone and was just able to watch the race off my DVR.
While I loved the dicing, to me this is not what Indycar racing should be. How many times did Marco try to pass and fail? At least four times every lap for almost the entire race!
Foot to the floor all the way around is not the way to go. Everyone might as well be driving governed school buses. Yes, it was exciting wheel to wheel but for what? Dario not getting tires at the end and still people with new tires couldn't pass him? Can't anyone see that something is wrong here?
Even Sarah Fisher hung in there tough until she had to pit. Get my point?
I know you guys are excited about it and yes it was fun to watch. (for a while anyway) I myself was on the edge of my seat waiting for someone to take Dario at the end. It just didn't happen. It didn't happen because it couldn't happen.
I am not saying the race was bad. I am just saying something else needs to happen. Hopefully 2012 will have that something.
Just my two cents guys and not trying to make anyone mad.

In my opinion, this racing is about who is the bravest or stupidest driver, not who is the most skilled. These cars need to run on places like New Hampshire, Phoenix and Milwaukee where there is more skill involved.
