RYAN HUNTER-REAY
I don't know why I don't like oval track racing because they are always exciting. This race with 5 or 6 yellow flags and 2 red flags which knocked out half of the cars was something. With most of the field gone by lap 220, in a misty rain, running on the yellow flag the drivers and the owners asked that the race not be restarted because it was too wet. But, start they did, taking out about half of the 12 cars that were left. With the race stopped, the officials decided to let the race stand as it was under the yellow instead of awarding the drivers that crossed the finish line. Ryan Hunter-Reay got a 1st place under that decision. Oriol Servia crossed the line as first, but was bumped back to second. Scott Dixon got a third.
