Hear the engines!!! This is the true sound of an IndyCar, not those buzzing Honda engines ... Miss those good times!

@cap10moman All season up to this point, Vettel has the most overtakes... he has completed 56 overtakes this entire season in F1. Sad, isn't? After so many races the most times anyone has passed anyone in F1 is 56.... that's pathetic. I love the tracks F1 races on, but they have GOT to do something to increase the passing. It's not even worth watching.

Paul Page probably the best racing announcer ever

@gazzrfc1, @SmeurkeDeKat, and @VampireYoshi......Yes, F1 is the best motorsport in the world (despite it's recent "castrating"). It has the best drivers, best cars, best technology, etc. However, the Indy 500 is BY FAR the best race the planet has ever known!! Sport-to-Sport, League-to-League, F1 is better...Hands down, not even worthy of an argument. Race-to-Race, the 500 is the be-all-end-all, and yes it is better than Monaco! Anyone who says differently has never actually been to the 500

@bricksterr I guess you could consider me a "kid" (23yrs), but I won't give you what you're looking for from a "kid"....Unser's statement at the end, "when you've got 2 drivers who wanted the 500 as bad as we did...two drivers are going into the corner and only one is coming out", is raw truth!!! Only the Unser's and Andretti's have this character built into their genes!! Just watch the 2006 Post-race interview of the young Marco. "At Indy, you're either 1st or you're nothing"! Great Video!!

And Teresa was there: "Vai querido, vai querido (Go baby, go baby, in Portuguese)".

@gazzrfc1 Ultimately, this has always been a high speed endurance race. Which car, just as much as the driver and team, is the best, after going near as fast as it can, for 500 miles. Or at least...that's what it is when they aren't WWE'ifying it. If someone runs away with it, then all the cars get better, and we go again. Leave "looking for crashes," and forcing everyone to be equal, to the NASCRAP ilk.

@SmeurkeDeKat i kind of see where you're coming from, but i still think f1 is the best motorsport.
indycar racing just doesn't do it for me, it just runs on far too long, driving around the same two corners, at least nascar have the bigger more dangerous crashes, but for me, indy has nothing.

@gazzrfc1 Oh yea, watching a fast car go by one at a time in a race where nothing happens.. I used to like F1, but they cut off its balls in the past decade or so. F1 nowadays is boring as hell (and the cars look like shit too). I don't necessarily wanna see the fastest racing, I wanna see PROPER racing, like this for example
-
@SmeurkeDeKat yeah, sure, formula 1 with its variety of tracks just doesn't compare with a bunch of guys who turn left for a living.
And... if I new only one person, and his name was VampireYoshi, would enjoy this clip I would have still posted it. No Boogity, Boogitiys here folks.
Thank you all, both pro and con, for your comments.

Umm...did I offend you somehow? Not sure if that comment is pro or con, itself. Here's hoping for the former.

@VampireYoshi
It's Pro Yoshi. We are kindred spirits. Thanks for your interest in this post.
To see people appreciate these events as much as i do is gratifying. This clip still gives me goosebumps.

I'm glad this video is being enjoyed and sanctioned (kinda) by Indy itself. As for the issues some people have with it I'd like to remind you of the year (1989). I'd like you to appreciate the difference between what wasn't done before but has been done a million times since. Any kids want to give me a review of Citizen Kane? I'd like you to appreciate what wasn't said. I'd like you to appreciate that a great finish doesn't have to be a photo finish. I'd like you to appreciate a gracious loser.
