After he trashed several cars at New Orleans he didn't have enough sponsorship for the repairs bill, so he dropped a few rounds in favour of saavedra. He wasn't scheduled to take part in this race since April. I think he's at the track though.

He never had a full time ride. It had nothing to do with NOLA.

just to keep themselves awake at times. There were some dull periods in that race. I don't know , it may have just been me after watching the xfinity and truck races at their venues which I thought were more entertaining. The Indy race did get interesting there toward the later stages. Penske needs to figure out why the team seems to throw it away at the end of the season. That's a crazy stat how many times they were leading the points on the last race and not close the deal. |

How to deal with it? Just like in formula 1, if any car is stuck in kitty litter or with a stalled engine, this has to be the end of race for this car. It must be evacuated under a local yellow caution if possible to do so safely IMHO. If there is an incident, the entire peloton mustn't have to go around in circles under safety car waiting until the injured car can join the field in the back. It's hard on drivers and it's hard on spectators. |

It's partly down to the team and partly down to Montoya for clipping Power but something like this will inevitably happen if there are no team orders and both drivers are racing to win.
