  • This is not the closet finish... The closet finish is the Chicagoland 100 in indylight in 2007 with 0.0005... That 5/10000 of a second.

  • It was the closest known closed-circuit finish at the time.

  • Great finish, did they say 0.0024 of a second the gap between 1st and 2nd ?

  • Yes, they did. IIRC, that might be the closest closed-circuit race in history. (There have been closer drag races.)

  • I have been watching racing for about 20 years and that includes F1, Indy, NASCAR, WRC, MotoGP, Offroading. I have enjoyed all of them, because I like fast cars, engineering stuff and fearless drivers. Being a fan of nearly all kind of autoracing and some bike racing I understand that F1 is not top racing. Each racing series has their own best drivers in the world. F1 is all about cars and less about drivers talent. Button is the best example.

  • I wish they hadn't changed the cars the next year. The IndyCars of the early 2000s were so cool, some of the most awesome vehicles in racing.

  • 24/10000 of a second!!! HOLY SHIT!

  • but it still was an intense race for some viewers and specially for the drivers

  • The late Dan Wheldon's first start in an IndyCar. Had a good run that day.

  • Not the closest race ever. 2011 Talladega or 2003 Darlington are the closest.

  • GPS: Turn left, Turn left, Turn left, Turn left, Turn left....

  • F**K chicagoland and all other 1.5 mile ovals. Such a bastardization of oval racing. ISC can go to hell

  • Big Chevy Engine pushes it over the line.

  • @vsa2o From the beginning to 1955 Championship Car racing (the traditional name of indy car) was sanctioned by AAA (Yes...that "triple A") After the 1955 Le Mans Desaster AAA pulled out of auto racing and Tony Hulman formed USAC but by the end of the 1970's the owners were fed up with USAC's backward ways and formed CART in 1979, then after that it gets complicated ;)

  • @406590 I just put the information there for the curious, that all.
