Race result:
A good race but the TV coverage did not do it justice.
Not the result Penske wanted but Dixon admitted in the podium interview, he got lucky with the yellow and Pagenaud salvaged some pride for The Captain, on his debut race as track owner. I must say, I like the elevator/lift to the podium, with the winning driver still in the car.
A great drive from Rahal to take second, considering he was leading and got caught out by the yellow.
The battle towards the end, between rookie Rinus VK and Ericsson, was superb. Shame NBC's coverage didn't focus on it a bit more.
