I guess the thread really isn't a GDT during a race, eh? Last race and championship down to the line and not a peep in here. Sonownsma.

Real good season. The 500 was awesome and Phoenix was a total pile of poo poo, but most every other race was at least decent. Sato winning the 500 owned, Newgarden winning the title was great, and it was also great seeing St Louis be successful on its return. Being optimistic for the future of the series for once is a nice feeling. Now put the drat finale on an oval.

Out of everything from watching half a season of IndyCar starting with the Indy 500 thanks to Alonso I have to say that today's race tops it all... ...cause it's the first time I've actually seen and heard Roger Penske talk and holy gently caress the man looks amazing for 80 years old, god drat.

So, one question remains. Will Josef take #1 next year?

The final gimmick-free points standings! Taking out the points for Indy qualifying and the half the points away from the double-points races. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bH0d4TJ0zmJ9PhjjEf9S9aHUtke9T4IZrjsIGC2Kgc4/edit?usp=sharing  The gimmick is still benign, for the most part.

Will Sipag go back to 22 or take the 2? Or 3 if Helio moves over?

Anyone notice what Newgarden said last night?quote:“We don’t want a championship filled with just American drivers, but it’s important to have the best of America in it,” said Newgarden, who celebrated with an American flag draped around his shoulders. “We have to have the best from Europe and from anywhere overseas, because if it’s just Americans running, it wouldn’t mean anything. But certainly, having successful Americans is a big deal, too.” (source: http://jeffgluck.com/the-top-five-breaking-down-the-chicago-and-sonoma-races/ ) I like to imagine he looked right over at Singapore as he said that.

If anyone is interested, this is a PDF link to the entire post-race press conference with Newgarden Full text of what Newgarden said quote:THE MODERATOR: Everyone that's come in here since the race was over mentioned about being an American champion, and you put the flag around you up there. I think you were a little surprised by that, didn't really know how to take it, felt like a boxer. But it's important, and you know it is.

This video is a pro-watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXhbHr80E_s The fact that TK is the one saying Helio can't be shaken out of a good mood is impressive, given that's how I'd describe TK when I met him after his nasty crash at Indy. Also, I just sifted through the Wikipedia page, Helio is indeed Roger's longest-tenured driver at 18 seasons (and maybe counting). Looks like both Rusty Wallace and Rick Mears ran 15 seasons.

32(!) cars at Portland in 1994. Really crowded track. Also this season reminds me of exactly why I dislike Nigel Mansell.
