And I'll back off a little on my initial reaction to the penalty being harsh. It's hard to tell if it's a reaction or if Graham came off the corner and made an immediate move to the inside:

It is the last lap, so gloves come off, but kinda hard to argue with Max Papis and Arie Luyendyk on something like this...

Rahal could take any line he wanted exiting the corner. He took a defensive line (as he said - admitting to blocking Dixon), but the rules allow a line that is not reactive to the line that the following driver takes. If he'd blocked Dixon by moving far left after the right hand corner, that would have been reactive.
