People spend their entire lives trying to win that race. He did it on his first try.

Amazing.

Was his car sustainable? Of course not...therefore this needs to end.

He won on fuel strategy. He used just enough to finish the race. There wasn’t even enough fuel left to finish the victory lap.

He saved fuel and ran 36 laps at the end. Around 20-30 laps is normal. All the leaders came in and he did not. He won by about 1/2 lap.

If there was one more lap to go, he’d have wound up in last place.

Fate rewards the bold...

First place... Last place... at this point, what difference does it make?

Great Race, happy for Bryan Herta and Michael Andretti too. Was there in 2014 when Ryan Hunter Rhea won. If your a motorhead at all you have to go see it live once. So much better than NASCAR and faster.
