Blame NBC for terrible overflow policies. Race should be on NBCSN or USA, not CNBC.

I also hate the lack of prompt podium celebrations being shown. F1 blows Indycar away in this regard, you could watch Indycar for years and never even know they give 2nd and 3rd place finishers a trophy. The points system isn't highlighted as well as it could be either.

- We went to the championship final at Laguna Seca in 2019 and it was pretty surprising how much access we had to that podium! Probably 20 feet away. And I didn’t think about it until you said it, but Indy 500 is the only podium I can remember seeing during televised IndyCar races.

- I’ve been watching F1 and Indy since 2019; the former’s point system makes a lot more sense to me, where I couldn’t tell you how many points IndyCar gives out. The live championship updates help with this for F1.

- no ads would definitely help, but I also agree that NBC picks the oddest broadcast angles. The MX-5 Cup race at Mid-Ohio gave me a better idea of the track than the IndyCar angles.


edit i looked up the points system and … that’s too many points. I feel like NASCAR is to blame for this.

Third place was Mauri Rose with 1000 from winning Indy in his only start of the season.

Now that’s working smarter, not harder.

I don’t understand why Power didn’t 1) use his Push to Pass to get by Hinch (it had barely changed since they last compared Herta and him when there was 9 seconds difference) or 2) do the opposite of Hinch at the pit stop phase.

I would love to know more about Calderon after seeing her pop up in F2 and Super Formula and a few other spots. Any good articles about her?
