1. Randy Bernard, and Eddie Gossage, work something out and keep Texas on the schedule. With less downforce, Texas was a hell of a race. This may open the door for returns to Kentucky, Chicago and other mile and a half tracks.
2. Great job by Justin Wilson. Graham Rahal had the field cover during that final stint. Rahal has nothing to hang his head about and should be looking forward to Milwaukee and Iowa.
3. Hildebrand had a great drive. Pagenaud was impressive and James Jakes bookended the top 10 for Dale Coyne.
4. Great call by Beuax Barfield with calling a block on Power. Tough call but the correct call.
5. Besides Rahal, Dixon had a great run with nothing to show for it and Andretti probably would have been in the top 10, maybe even the top 5 if he didn't come back in thinking his car was still on fire.
6. After starting in the back, Newgarden had an eventful day but did well and Legge held her own and took the checkered flag.
7. After having a terrible start, Franchitti did a great job with a below-average car and finished 14th.
8. Back to the racing seen tonight, if IndyCar can bring this what they did tonight to Chicagoland and Kentucky and Phoenix and Richmond then IndyCar very well can bring fans back. This was a fantastic race. The drivers had to drive the car and it clearly showed that flat-out, pack racing is not always necessary to have a great race. You can have just as good of race, maybe even better, if you have the drivers backing out in the corners.
