INDYCAR AT WATKINS GLENN, NEW YORK


So, Dixon wins. He is a happy camper, oops, pardon the pun, since this race was sponsored by Camping World.

Below is a video of Sam Hornish Jr. who came in 2nd and Tony Kanaan (4th) getting in a fight after the race. Hornish claiming that Kanaan bumped him. Intentional bumping in open-wheel racing is foolhardy at best and I don’t think that today’s crop of drivers to it. I haven’t seen what looked like an intentional bump since the late 90’s when driving wizard Michael Schumacher did the bump with Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve. Very stupid on his part. This took place at Watkins Glen, New York which was one of my favorite tracks back in the 60’s. In those days it was also the home of USA Formula One. I saw many a fine driver there and at Mosport Park in Canada…great memories.
