RACE WINNER AND NEW SEASON CHAMPION
Scott Dixon pulled a double whammy today by winning the race and also winning the Championship for the season. Juan Pablo Montoya had been the championship point leader after every race all season, but today he ended up tied with Dixon.....the breaker being who won the most races during the season. Montoya won two and Dixon three. This story shows me exactly why I don't like the awarding of double points in the last race. If there hadn't been double points Montoya would have won his hard earned and rightful championship. Formula One is doing this on the last race too. I don't get it and I think it sucks. Second and third went to Ryan Hunter-Reay and Charlie Kimball.
Others of interest to me:
Tony Kanaan - 4th
Ryan Briscoe - 5th
Juan Pablo Montoya - 6th
Takuma Sato - 8th
Sebastian Bourdais - 20th
So, it is the end of an interesting season......2016 in March coming next.
