I'm a diehard Penske fan (my hometown is their HQ) and I think
Castroneves is a class act all the way but the ruling on the appeal is
BS imho.

It was an unfortunate finish to a great race, but IMHO based on the IRL
rulebook, Castroneves is the clear winner. He said at the awards banquet
last night that he didn't have the fastest car - his crew's decision to stay
out on the previous caution was a great call that got him to the front.

nawwww I'm just getting warmed up. When you have the man who pays some
of the driver's salaries, the man who helps finance some of the teams, the
man who owns the ONE track your limited sponsors want to be at.....and a
suggestion comes down to cause a yellow quick....do you argue?? Aren't you
at all suprised that Laurent and Buddy were even near each other?? After
500 miles were they in a fight for position? Nope I just checked and Buddy
was 2 laps down and Laurent was ANOTHER two laps laps behind him.
Here's an interesting quote from an IRL regular. First remember that
Little Al was the buffer/speedbrake between Castro-Neves and Giafone/Tracey
for several laps right at the end of the race...Jr himself was a lap down
and in no position to go for a win.
(this quote taken from the Speedchannel website)
"Everybody said that our engine was going to have problems, but the Nissan
engine ran impeccably," Cheever said. "I kept getting stuck in traffic. I
dont know what it is with Al Unser Jr., but every time I get behind him and
he is a lap down, he holds me up and I lose a few places. I lost a strong
third place because of that."
(Unser's 2 million dollar salary is NOT paid by his race team but by the
League's owner<Whose name I dare not speaketh>) Unser's title is Driver
Instructor...you'd think the league's Driver Instructor would know enough to
get out of the way of two of the frontrunners who are tying to catch a
slowing leader.
as they say...

It was also weird how ABC switched cameras off of the leaders as the whole
thing happened. I think ABC's coverage of the 500 was awful in general.
If there's an accident, director will try to cut to that, often getting a
camera position which doens't show the incident (anymore)... that's pretty
normal.
During other passing manouvres there were some hard to explain cut aways...
I mean, do we need to see Scheckter drive the whole length of the
pitlane? -Show his stop "after" the on-track pass, I say. Plenty of time.
