I don't know how you block a guy by moving over 2/3 of a lane when the challenger moves over 4.

I don't think he even moved over that far, maybe I'm biased because it's a Penske car, but it's bullshit.

I don't think so. I was being generous.

Bullshit call.

Who won?

Gomerz

I like the shot of Dixon right before they went off the air. He's in victory lane and there is not a member of the media within a 100 feet of him.

Well that depends if the officials were hiding in the trailer because they were afraid of being lynched for the shitty call or making up their minds on whether to overturn the shitty call.

Ok. Help me out, peeps. A big-ass storm came up as they were dragging Helio away with his helmet still on.

What happened after that?

Helmet came off and he started yelling at the flag stand, even grabbed a couple officials by the shirt and was restrained by Tim Cindric, might be about as pissed off as I've seen any racing driver short of actually hitting someone. Vs. eventually interviewed him and he was calmed down but didn't really want to talk about it. I don't think I'd want to be near the team trailer either because then they interviewed Power and HE said that Helio blocked him.

If there's a bright side to this it's a few more points for Power in the standings.

Are these the same officials that cheated him an Indy 500 win? tsk tsk

I'll take Will's word.

What the hell ever. Not even close.

i missed the race but watched the highlight indycar has on youtube. All i can say is HOLY SHIT. Hands down worst call in motorsports i've ever witnessed (the gravity of the 02 call because it was Indy may differ but this was outright blatant). Brian barnhart needs to be fired and fast

BTW indycar made the results official ruling on the track stands. Helio was fucking robbed

quote from Power

“Helio had the inside line,” Power said. “I tried to go around the outside, sort of got pushed wide, and Scott got through. I would say a black flag is a pretty harsh penalty, but it is what it is. It was just one of those racing things. When you’re leading on the last restart you want to keep the lead.”

I think power is only referring to being pushed out AFTER the corner, not the "block" helio did when power was a solid 20 feet to his left. Saw the same move pulled multiple times today in F1 and every other road course race in history.


Fucking joke

Exactly. Unless Helio is gonna go scrape his mug off the trophy from 2002 he should probably just shut the fuck up.

With that, it was a horrible call. Couldn't have happened to a better team owner. Oh well.


Also, RHR and PT are the first two cars behind the fixed five (at least it would have been if Helio hadn't been blocking....), but we'll still hear more about Danica and Marco going forward.

From what I'm reading, the call was a good call according to the racing rule set by race control. Maybe not a good rule...but I don't care that much.

I think the rules need to be a little more clearly defined, but that'll never happen in any modern racing series, be in Indy Car, F1 or NASCAR.

Can't believe people still whine about 2002. Get over it, whether or not it should be, PT's face ain't on the trophy and it's not going to be.

The problem is that the modern open wheel drivers are euro wussies. AJ and Al Sr would have gone into that turn side by side no whining. If any of the modern drivers were ever a recipient of either a Dale Sr cross over re-pass or a Kinser slide job they would crap their pants.

I never thought the day would come when I would support a tap dancing tax dodger but Twinkletoes was robbed.

The guy he grabbed was the director of security who is a retired state trooper.

...who was smiling the whole time as though Hélio was just a petulant child.

Just saw video of the "block"... I'm glad less than 1M people waste their time watching that series 'cause it's fucking embarrassing. Between Danica, Milka, and that bullshit, it's finally time for winged-open wheel racing in America to die, because this country has no clue what that style of racing is anymore.

Fukstik speaks.

So Helio was in violation of the letter of the rule, that being said, it's a fucking dumbass rule. Blocking is making a defensive move against a driver that's trying to overtake you, not holding your line on what the officials deem to be the wrong half of the track.

Worth noting: as pissed as I am about IndyCar still classified as a "race series" rather than "sports entertainment" like professional wrestling and figure skating, the real humor was watching the replay on ESPN.com with a listing of the top-3 and a footnote about Danica's 21st place "win".

Brian Barnfart is still employed? Nice to hear Ropin Randy is doing away with the abortion named IRL, but will he fire the losers that originated with the league?

Which was AWESOME. He was almost laughing at him.

Despite the WWE ending it looks like the Edmonton EARLfest will see a lower TV rating.

Well, I just got done dropping VS from my package....

Dropping your package can be painful...sorry GAM

Drop it in the wrong place and you'll be accuse of.....

teabagging.

They like doing that on CNN I heard.

I heard Arnie the Indy Insider teabagged Mari George.

Dude.

Dude.

Dude.

That is the most horrific post ever on this site. More horrific than Louie's worst. More than Tinner's union teabagging. More horrific than Spartan's obsession with the word 'cock'. More horrific than Bill's continued existence itself. Jebus Hbus Christbus.

Have you no shame?

I'm offended. I'm sleaze one

I'm gonna go take my talents to south beach.

Might as well. Being a cub fan you suck at South Side
