My usual luck, my driver was only one back.

Woohoo! I'm going out to buy a Lotto ticket.

What a great race! Non-stop action all race, with the lead changing back and forth. I loved that early battle between Hinch and Hunter-Reay. The new designs allowed cars to pass, and there were enough crashes to satisfy those who like to see crashes, and fortunately the aero package prevented any cars from going flying. Honda broke the Chevy dominance of the series, but the results down the chart were fairly evenly split.

A very good story at the end. The American boy bounced by F1 comes to Indycar to hone his skills and ends up winning the 100th running of the 500. Could it get any better? Well maybe if the comeback kid, Hinch, had won, eh?

Cheers,

Keith

It was a great race. Sitting high on the entrance of turn 3 we saw many lead changes and other passes. Pass for the lead into 1, then repass in 3. Awesome.

Disappointed that we had that issue on pit road, really changed the race

Thanks for organizing Allan.
In my rush to place my last minute bet I left out Motorsport !!!!!!! Which would have made me the winner...?

Nice try, Richard...........but, nope, it had to be a driver's name......not a team name. You'll get honorable mention though in next year's pool................! :text-bravo:

Well, Retro is a rich guy this afternoon..........so, the drinks are on him tonight!

Maybe we can all sharpen our Indy 500 winner picks for next year................although I still think that Hunter-Reay was looking very good before the big bump from Bell on pit row.....................unreal!! But................that's Indy..............
