That was a great race. Different strategies, lots of action, and it seemed like chances for other than Cadillac teams to win. Well, it seemed that way for a while.
Both Fords ran dry on the last lap …. But as far as I know, they didn’t pit together (Bourdais in the 66 before, the other during the caution.)
Derani got away with one when he walled the Juncos car, I think.
And once again … max torque wins the day. Nobody can keep up with a Cadillac out of the corners, and no car has enough of a top-speed advantage to make up the difference between corners.
Also, two cars—Mueller in the #66 and Castroneves in the #7—gave up the class lead by hitting the caution speed limiter. I guess it only happens at LB.
