What a nice race. Just for the naysayers, Juan Pablo Montoya won as only he can do. He got bumped back to 30th place and was first across the finish line. His teammate, Will Power who was the odds-on favorite came in a very close second, 1/10 of a second behind. Charlie Kimball, who suffers from diabetes placed third. I couldn't be happier for him and Montoya.
Montoya won the 500 back in 2000 and then left the series for NASCAR. If he hadn't done that he would be a household word today.
Some others that I like to follow ended up like this. Ed Carpenter was taken out in an accident in lap 112 and was placed at 30th. Tony Kanaan, who was running with the front runners, had a solo accident after leading for 30 laps on lap 151 and was placed at 26th. Takuma Sato had an accident in the first lap and had his car repaired and returned to the race 3 laps down. He ended up on the finishing lap in place 13, now that is some driving.
