One thing that really bugs me was the caution for Ana Beatriz scraping the wall. There was not debris scattered onto the track, her car had little damage and she stayed up at racing speeds. Absolutely no reason for a caution. Hopefully we won't see anymore crap like this with Barfield as the race director.
It was a very good race, but the restarts was a mess. They need to penalize drivers that change lines before the start/finish line. The double file restarts are good for fans and drivers, and all the crashes are drivers mistakes and messy alignment. I think Brian Barnhardt didn't see this.
@HollywoodSheen While all of us in Milwaukee were disappointed at the turnout, you need to understand the situation before you make stupid comments like that. The previous promoter left a big mess and really screwed over the track and us fans. The new promoters this year did a hell of a job with what they had to work with (limited amount of time to sell tickets, no access to previous ticket holder lists, no title sponsor, etc.) Not to mention a poor date with Father's Day and June Sprints at RA.
@HollywoodSheen Give us our old date back (week after Indy) and see what we can do next year because for those of us that did show up saw probably the best race of the year so far.
@HollywoodSheen Retarded promoter, track given short notice, Father's Day date, and the fact that the weather looked threatening throughout the day did not help matters.
@dalejrgamer wut is it about this track and it's retarded promoters? is this place cursed or something? why the F would u ever stage a race on father's day
@HollywoodSheen I have no idea what the hell are you talking about...I don't know anything about the previous owners and promoters (someone from the area, help me out here), and the only race track that I know of that is cursed is Talladega. Sonoma hosts their NASCAR dates at Father's Day for quite some time and they don't have a problem with it.
Honestly, I'm blaming the low turnout on the weather. Mind you, it rained heavily before the Indy Lights race.
@dalejrgamer Indycar isn't Nascar, it doesn't have the following or commercial appeal that Nascar does. Just b/c Nascar stages a race on father's day doesn't mean it'll work for Indy as well. That's like saying just b/c the NFL has success w/thanksgiving games then it should work for the WNBA as well. BTW Sonoma is Nascar's most poorly attended race. The threat of rain may've hurt the attendance, but what really killed it was high ticket prices, a 3pm race start, and a father's day date.
@dalejrgamer and the track being given short notice is bullshit, the promoters (AB Promotions), had 9 months to promote this event. That's more than ample time to sell tickets.
@HollywoodSheen I may seem like a lot of time, but most businesses and companies set their budgets over a year ahead of time and when AB goes looking for sponsors, no one has any money left to spend. (Hence no title sponsor and the blank billboards on the backstretch) As far as ticket sales, that really isn't a lot of time either, especially when they were not given access to the lists of previous ticket holders and had limited amount of money to spend on promoting b/c of the lack of sponsorship
@HollywoodSheen I will give you the fact that tickets were on the pricey side, but they were right in line with what they had been in previous years. Milwaukee has had a history of selling a lot of tickets on race day and the storms all night and Sunday morning surely deterred people from coming out. I already mentioned the poor date, Father's Day and June Sprints at Road America.
highlights were great. But, what about the incident at 6:50 & at 18:39? what happened that caused these incidents to happen and what difference did they make for the outcome of the race? Thanks indycars
WOW, over 20 minutes of highlights. Thanks @indycars keep it up. Only way it gets better is if you give us a bunch of onboards riding in one car during the race. Like, a highlight real that's only inboard moments from a select driver in a race.
