I was watching the race while doing my taxes, not sure if that made the race better or worse. :confused:

It was quite an exciting end to what was a decent if middling race to watch. I always felt that Hinch was falling just short of a first win, but now he's got it (and I'm so happy for him) he might be able to step up another level.

Simona drove a great race, it was a shame that her tyres burned out a little early but her pace was more than enough to convince me that she can be a frontrunner this season. It must be nice to have some decent power under her right foot now she's running a Chevy!

Really glad for Hinch!!!

I would love to watch the race but don't have the channel I need. Would it kill the series to stream the ****ing race?

I still don't get why F1 and IndyCar can't stream. Just put the broadcast on the computer. You have to watch the commercials and possibly listen to the commentators. It seems to me a win-win situation. Even if you are in England and don't care about US commercials does it matter. I guess I see my flaw if a countries broadcaster has bought rights to televise. It would seem to me though that your IP address could determine the stream you have to watch. Does that get to complicated?

Yeah, unfortunately. Some companies have specific contracts for online usage and for television broadcast, etc.

In my opinion we should have everything already streamed, but companies like Time Warner and Sky, etc wouldn't get money from people buying their sports packages and etc; or that would at least be their argument.

Cars have different sponsors, mostly, in America; it could become messy if they did it OPENLY like they do in F1.

Well Done to the Mayor of Hinchtown! Well deserved first win!

Also well done to EJ Viso for bringing it home in 7th was a gnat's bits away from 5th. Finally it looks like he is focused on results, not breaking cars each race.

I found the original unedited photo here.

That's weird, why would they edit out their lunch?
