@bradleyblackster you do realize the cars are designed to do that? Breaking apart actually helps dissipate the energy from the crash, therefore protecting the drivers.
@TheAssistantReferee The #43 of John Andretti supposedly "blocked" Dan Wheldon; not the right call, IMO, just another of those "Brian Barnhardtnesses".
The #30 of Graham Rahal also did not move from his line at all, same "blocking" bullshit (again, w/ Dan Wheldon).
I call both moves as "Andretti defensive line", there's nothing wrong with them, IMO.
For those of you who don't see the point in racing in circles, F1 is just racing in more elaborate circles. I like both sports. Can't we all just get along?
@aimalkhan123 If you're referring to drivers in series such as F1 or NASCAR, yes. Problem is, those drivers don't have the time to take the month of May to commit to this race and its impossible to run their respective races [Monaco, Charlotte] in the same day.
@aimalkhan123 its open to whomever can get a ride. its just hard to split time between the practices and quals for the 500 and the drivers original series. tony stewart has done it a few times since he has joined nascar. he just get out of one car on to a heli then a plane and gets in his other car. just very taxing on the driver
@JamesBond007Videos first off learn english 2nd both indy cars and nascar race on oval and road coarse's and i believe f1 is racing in america this year so eat it bitch
@CockerJonathan - No, they actually race on tracks all over the place, many of which are road courses. In fact, I'd say Indy is a primarily road course racing league, but they do ovals as well.
@CockerJonathan - Why is it important where the 'big' race is held? The Indy 500 is only race 6 of a season of 18 races. It's not as if the rest of the races don't matter. The Indy 500 has history though, which is why it's such a big deal. And after checking, half the races are oval, half are road courses. However, I do recall there being significantly more road course races in the history of the sport. Indy has gone through so many name changes and just changes in general over the years.
they dont just look like formula 1 cars from the 80s, technology wise and performance wise they are too. "tin pot" cars i think is the proper description for indycars
i hate how the nascar hate comes to this race, im not a fan of nascar, but comparing the two is just ridicules, this is nothing like nascar, f1 is so much more.
@lakelandchief 2011 is the 100th Anniversary of the first race (1911); the race was not held in the years 1917, 1918, 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945 because of WWI and WWII so the 2011 will be the 95th Indianapolis 500
The 2010 Indy 500 was my first Indycar race since the "split." I along with many went down south (i.e., Nascar). With the changes in Nascar and seeing the racing of Indycar, I am now a huge Indycar fan. As the song goes - Back Home Again in Indiana!!!!!
Mike Conway really ruined a potentially great finish. All that guy does is crash! And what does he get in return? A deal with Andretti Autosport! What a joke, Conway is the new Kevin Cogan!
@jetfan4life Shows what you know about Mike Conway. He's been on a crappy team and still posted some very good finishes. Ever bothered to look at his GP2 career? Kicked ass in that series, and he'll be kicking ass this season. Prepare to eat crow. All you're doing is showing your ignorance.
@RexJava1975 I must admit I only followed Conway's IndyCar career, and that comment was more geared towards his IndyCar finishes. I'll also admit I was impressed with his speed at St. Pete, but unfortunately because he was taken out in the first turn we can't tell how he would have handled the race itself. We will see how he does with a competitive team. I appreciate your comment.
Could have been a great race, but Brian Barnhart ruined it for me. Too many blocking calls, and way too inconsistent in the way he was calling them. His firing is way overdue!
the indy 500 is the most awesome indy race because indianapolis speedway is greater then a regular race track and that indycars go faster and the straightaways are really huge!!!!
@85devotee It's so easy, but he wasn't able to win the Indianapolis 500 was he? In fact, he made rookie mistakes in the '93 running.
And if the series was as easy as you claim it was, how come he didn't win in '94? The current series might be "easy" (if you drive for Penske or Ganassi), but the CART PPG IndyCar World Series was much harder with much more competition.
ahahahahahaha amateurs. Americans are funny though, gotta give them that. No idea about racing, but putting noobs in shitty cars and crashing them into walls is an entertaining concept. LOL, no offence. The Indys look like fun.
The time has come for Free energy to be revealed ,But Elite controllers don't want ppl to be free from the costs of energy,Find a motor that needs no fuel or input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Start the energy revolution!
It is a shame that they now have a guy that ADMITTEDLY doesn't know anything about auto racing running the IRL. The final race at Miami that should have had a hugh crowd, had the entire grandstands that were almost EMPTY!
Next year they are having 4 road course races and NO OVALS before the Indy 500...maybe they want to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the race with an historic amount of empty seats!
Am I the only one who thought that the blocking penalty on Andretti was completely stupid? Soured the race a little for me, but overall, as my first full Indy 500 that I've ever watched, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Great stuff, the lead itself wasn't too exciting but that is down to Franchitti's skill, not something he should be blamed for, he deserved victory, great race.
Why is MY VIDEO playback of these 2010 INDY 500 highlights in 720 pixels choppy with constant pausing... why won' t it play Chop Free? It does well @ 360 & 480...IS YouTUBE responsible or....?
@hybanks2000 in regards....to your post...it was the internet provider...not the computer....plays fine @ 720 pix now...my high speed connection is well now... although thanks for the comment maybe due to the day of the race the youtube traffic for video replays of the " CRASH " @ INDY was causing my network to freeze up...
Best race so far this season, and in years! Action, fails, crashes, things you didn't expect... TK from last to almost first, Mike Conway who leads a while and later airborns in the last lap, Elyo with pit problems, running back in the field, smashing with fist on the steering wheel, but coming back with strategy, poor Rafa, Well-Done again second, and Daryo Frankie T
This was my first time ever attending the Indy 500. Now I'm addicted for life! Hope to go again next year. I was pulling for Tony Kanaan all the way but he just didn't have the fuel to make it. Plus Dario had the car to beat all day. I think the led 165 out of 200 laps.
@lordofice72 hopefully me and my buddy are gona go we live in indiana pa atm and go to WyoTech itll be my frist time going to an indy car race ive always wanted to go and now i finally got the chance... any tips about the track? haha
@lordofice72 Its still exciting, but bring back guys like Jim Hurtubise and Swede Savage and Ed Elysian and Vuky, anyday ! Those days, drivers and cars WERE AWESOME !
@stegbs ur kidding right? how is this more exciting than F1? sure the highlights are great, and crashes are spectacular. but most of the race is just going round, and round and round.
@ac3jc , granted 500 miles turning left ain't my idea of fun - but when I said spectacle I meant having a race were more than a "handful" of people turn up to support the race, at a circuit which is truly one of the best facilities in the world. Oval racing may be a bit dull at times but it still takes huge amounts of skill - F1 have been to circuits this year where overtaking opportunities are very few and far between, can't say that about Indy! ...
@ac3jc last thing - I watched the F1 races and as much of Indy as I could. I watch the racing for fast cars chasing each other down and overtaking, displays of skill and bravery at 200mph, you could say. Have a listen to a UK commentator called John Hindhaugh - he has a similar point of view, but is a lot harsher on processional races
@ac3jc >>Ever been to F1 in Europe??Racedayticket $300..,22 cars,18 loosers,no overtakingaction due to idiot Bernie restrictions(Tyres,Aerodynamica,no fuelpiiting),empty stands???
Indy Eric salutes from Amsterdam(4 time Indy 500)(06,07,08,09)Don't be shy,and give it a try and feel robbed on your way home!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@zwienebeer no i havent been to a race in europe, they are really expensive. but the overtaking thing you talk about, there is plenty of overtaking in F1, atleast for me there is. I have been to an indy race, and it was fun as well. i guess I just appreciate both for what they are. good thing is i will soon be able to go to an F1 race since I live in Austin, 2012 US grand prix
If the final caution had not come out, would Wheldon have caught and passed Franchitti? This is why we love Motorsport, the cat and mouse scenario that makes it so fascinating.
When Ryan Hunter-Reay saw Conway coming at him, I wonder if he had what I like to call a "Bill Cosby moment"...as in "First he SAID IT (HOLY S**T!! or OH, S**T!!) then, he DID IT!!"
@ljsongs3 Quite right. No announcers of the Indy 500, have the same class as Paul Page, Bobby Unser and Sam Pose. I would also add Sir Jackie Stewart to the team. Although he never won the 500, having raced it twice, his knowledge of motor racing in any form is unrivalled.
I think Barnhart tried to dictate the whole race. His shady blocking calls, letting Helio get away with another bad start, letting Will Power run around several laps with that fuel nozzle stuck and convinently throwing a yellow for Power so he won't go a lap down. And to top it off, telling Graham Rahal to "give courtesy" to Dario when he was clearly still on the lead lap and not directly affecting Dario's lead.
Best race so far this season, and in years! Action, fails, crashes, things you didn't expect... TK from last to almost first, Mike Conway who leads a while and later airborns in the last lap, Elyo with pit problems, running back in the field, smashing with fist on the steering wheel, but coming back with strategy, poor Rafa, Well-Done again second, and Daryo Frankie T., deserved win. Roger Penske is not amused... W00t!
It's a great race, Dario Franchitti becomes the first British driver to win the Indy 500 in two occasions and also the British Drivers became first and second of this year's edition.
Well, that happened before celebrating my 18th birthday.

@hybanks2000 in regards....to your post...it was the internet provider...not the computer....plays fine @ 720 pix now...my high speed connection is well now... although thanks for the comment maybe due to the day of the race the youtube traffic for video replays of the " CRASH " @ INDY was causing my network to freeze up...

Indianapolis-type racing cars have gotten a lot safer over the past 30 years.
Had Mike Conway's crash happened as recently as the early 1980's, he probably would have been killed instantly.

What a ridiculous sport. And what a ridiculous commentation xD
7:55 man he is into this sport, this passion and excitement!
"Here comes the race leader, he's gonna have to pit. Here he comes. MIKE CONWAY's in the pit, so Wilson goes to the lead.
Look at Tony Cannan driving hard. Look at T.K. trying to get around Marco. He does."

Best race so far this season, and in years! Action, fails, crashes, things you didn't expect... TK from last to almost first, Mike Conway who leads a while and later airborns in the last lap, Elyo with pit problems, running back in the field, smashing with fist on the steering wheel, but coming back with strategy, poor Rafa, Well-Done again second, and Daryo Frankie T

This was my first time ever attending the Indy 500. Now I'm addicted for life! Hope to go again next year. I was pulling for Tony Kanaan all the way but he just didn't have the fuel to make it. Plus Dario had the car to beat all day. I think the led 165 out of 200 laps.

F1 should watch this and take note : this is what top level single seat racing should look like. a true spectacle
stegbs 1 year ago 3
@stegbs ur kidding right? how is this more exciting than F1? sure the highlights are great, and crashes are spectacular. but most of the race is just going round, and round and round.
ac3jc 1 year ago
@ac3jc , granted 500 miles turning left ain't my idea of fun - but when I said spectacle I meant having a race were more than a "handful" of people turn up to support the race, at a circuit which is truly one of the best facilities in the world. Oval racing may be a bit dull at times but it still takes huge amounts of skill - F1 have been to circuits this year where overtaking opportunities are very few and far between, can't say that about Indy! ...
stegbs 1 year ago
@ac3jc last thing - I watched the F1 races and as much of Indy as I could. I watch the racing for fast cars chasing each other down and overtaking, displays of skill and bravery at 200mph, you could say. Have a listen to a UK commentator called John Hindhaugh - he has a similar point of view, but is a lot harsher on processional races

@zwienebeer no i havent been to a race in europe, they are really expensive. but the overtaking thing you talk about, there is plenty of overtaking in F1, atleast for me there is. I have been to an indy race, and it was fun as well. i guess I just appreciate both for what they are. good thing is i will soon be able to go to an F1 race since I live in Austin, 2012 US grand prix

If the final caution had not come out, would Wheldon have caught and passed Franchitti? This is why we love Motorsport, the cat and mouse scenario that makes it so fascinating.

When Ryan Hunter-Reay saw Conway coming at him, I wonder if he had what I like to call a "Bill Cosby moment"...as in "First he SAID IT (HOLY S**T!! or OH, S**T!!) then, he DID IT!!"

ljsongs3 1 year ago
@ljsongs3 Quite right. No announcers of the Indy 500, have the same class as Paul Page, Bobby Unser and Sam Pose. I would also add Sir Jackie Stewart to the team. Although he never won the 500, having raced it twice, his knowledge of motor racing in any form is unrivalled.
trackside77 1 year ago 2
I think Barnhart tried to dictate the whole race. His shady blocking calls, letting Helio get away with another bad start, letting Will Power run around several laps with that fuel nozzle stuck and convinently throwing a yellow for Power so he won't go a lap down. And to top it off, telling Graham Rahal to "give courtesy" to Dario when he was clearly still on the lead lap and not directly affecting Dario's lead.

It's a great race, Dario Franchitti becomes the first British driver to win the Indy 500 in two occasions and also the British Drivers became first and second of this year's edition.
Well, that happened before celebrating my 18th birthday.
