INDYCAR IN LOUISIANA

JAMES HINCHCLIFFE, THE WINNER

This proves that a win is a win on paper. This race, and practices and qualifying, all had rain problems. Even though there wasn't much rain during the race the track was full of water as was the surrounding land...er, marshland. I feel that Montoya was going to be the winner, but when the first four or five places got caught out during a caution flag that all changed. After that happened they never really had a chance to race again. James Hinchcliffe was the winner, first win since October 2013. Helio Castroneves came in second and James Jakes was third.

Favorites Tony Kanaan and Takuma Sato finished in 6th place and Sato did not finish running only 8 laps. I probably should add Juan Pablo Montoya to my favorite list after the way I heard the announcers and my 'nay' saying friends talk about him. They better start paying attention, this man can drive the pants off of anybody. Today he ended in 5th under the caution flag.
