    Hahahaha anyone else watch the ending to the indy 500? A rookie had the lead on the last corner and went out of the grove and over did the turn and hit the wall and now he's in 3rd and lost the race.....faaaaail!

    if you think if what that easy, I dare you to do it.

    Cars where doing that the whole race, even if he let off the throttle his still would have hit the wall, he was so far up in the groove and at those speeds the force's against him still would have sent him into the wall.

    that moron left the grove to make a pass,(its been a 1 grove race), the whole race) if he slowed down and hung in behind the lapped car it was all his.

    like they say it his to lose.

    you guys have no idea what you are talking about if you say all you had to do was let off the gas, he got caught in a draft and couldnt turn his car at 200mph

    if he would have let off earlier then he wouldnt have been in the draft but he would have had to let off in turn 3 and then make his move through traffic in 4.

    EXPERIENCE.... that is what he would have needed to make it to the end.... he is a rookie, i feel bad for the kid, it isnt his fault, bad spotting and lack of experience

    lmao at the rookie, he never let off, he went balls to the wall, he started to pass in the middle of the turn, he'll carry the weight for a long time for this one for sure.

    if he chose not to pass , by the time wheldon had come through the corner he woulda got a clear lead on both of them.... the lap car was just in the wrong place for him

    if he did the right thing i bet it would have been one hell of a drag race to the line.

    Wrong spot at the wrong time plus being a rookie didn't help

    his spotter should hve had him let off a little in three so that by the time he hit turn 4 the lap car would already be pulling out and he wouldve had a good run on him
