Heck of a finish to the 2015 championship. Dixon comes from 47 points back to TIE Montoya, and tiebreakers give him the championship.

Montoya was closing fast on 5th, and looked like half way through the last lap, he was going to make a last corner try. Alas, his car was just not that good.

Graham.. well, just didn't have a car today to really compete.

I'm really glad to see Montoya doing well and competing.

I wish I would have watched a few more Indy car races this year.

Montoya threw it away when he spun Power.

Why did Bourdais punt Rahal like that? It was the kind of move that would have made sense if Bourdais had had an obviously faster car and Rahal had been holding him up for two or three laps, but considering that Bourdais had just barely caught Rahal, it made no sense and seemed like a blatant shiny happy person move.

Double points races suck.

I like the dubble points much better than the whole NASCAR Chase thing.

I didn't think the double points thing was fair to Montoya, but then my son pointed out that one of Juan's wins was the Indy 500, a double points race.

I'm not a fan of Will Power- and his reaction to the race made it more so that I think he's a whiner. He whined about the double points and that the race was decided by yellows. It was also decided by a dumb move by your teammate that punted both of you out of the race, and weighed heavily on the championship.

Ever race has some yellow that have a heavy hand in the final race, and the double points DID help Juan get where he was. Heck, I bet without careful yellow management, Juan would not have won Indy- so that double points race was decided by yellows. Just like yesterday.
