NASCAR's overtime aka green-white-checkered is pure bullshit for me and artificial gimmick that should be removed but quite frankly they've gone even further with mandatory 4 drivers in the title race at the last race. NASCAR is like the LAST place you search for ideas to improve quality of racing. If those stupid rules were in place in 1998 then Dale Earnhardt would have probably never won Daytona 500 If rain-shortened races are valid and someone can be called an Indy 500 winner after actually winning Indy 320 or something then it makes no sense that a potential leader at the 500 mile mark can't be called a winner because of some artificial gimmick. Nobody cares about Indianapolis 510 winners. PS. Thank God for Pigot's crash because Dixon has made this season a complete dud already. I was obviously cheering for Sato here I was definitely cheering for Sato as well, too bad the race - which in itself was a rather good one - ended in such an anticlimactic way. About the rest of your post, I'll use your own word: hogwash Nobody said Sato can't be called an Indy 500 winner, no idea where you even got that nonsense from. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I wasn't talking about this specific race and Sato as the winner. NASCAR's overtime rules are trash no matter who profits from them and I'd support a finish under yellow at Indy even if Dixon would have won it. Save those damn gimmicks for NASCAR. Guess you completely missed my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,594 Posted August 29, 2020 #723 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Clusterfuck at the start of Gateway 1 race. Field bunched up, Palou jumped and hit the brakes then Askew triggered a pile-up that took & Rossi, Andretti, Veach and Carpenter out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,594 Posted August 29, 2020 #724 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Dixon wins ahead of Sato this time. Pato O'Ward led the most laps but got jumped by Dixon on the last stop and then passed by Sato on fresher tires. Ferrucci had a Top 5 run going but had a terrible last stop and finished 16th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,552 Posted August 29, 2020 #725 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Sato with a madman move past O'Ward Ferrucci nearly managed to screw up the fight for the win, luckily that's something he didn't manage to do though.
