indy 500 highlights in NEW ENGLAND.No second or third chances in overtime as nascar uses.Does it ruin the show?
Won the indianapolis 500 on sunday under caution in regulation, 200 laps.
He coasted across for his second indy 500 win.
In this case, no gwc finish was coming even if it was under nascar rules.
Franchitti already had taken the white flag when the accident happened to bring out the yellow flag.
If the leader already has started the final lap before the caution waves, the field is frozen and the race is over.
But it does bring up an interesting question: should a race as important as the indy 500 end under caution if it can be avoided?
Secondplace finisher probably would have loved a chance to pass franchitti in overtime.
Wheldon thought he had enough fuel for a few more laps.
Everyone was slowing down, but it allowed me to maintain my pace up until the end.
I could tell he was hanging on.
As it turned out, the man who dominated the race franchitti led 155 of 200 laps won the race.
Nascar added gwc overtime to the sprint cup series in 2004.
The league altered the rule this season to include a maximum of three gwcs if needed.
Since 1940, 13 indy 500s have ended under caution, but six of those were halted because of rain.
The 2002 yellowflag finish was a controversial ending that many fans debate to this day.
Was declared the winner, but some people still believe was ahead by inches when the caution lights came on.
Everybody keeps trying to put a switch in, take the switch out, have pushtopass, all this stuff.
Does it ruin the show?
