Nice to see that they were doing cutaways from the actual racing to focus on the wife and not the pass for the win, even back in the 80's. A proud and time-honored tradition.

racing is nothing without the people.

They never do that anymore in Nascar I miss when they used to show Kim burton whenever Jeff was leading or Buffy when Michael finally won the 500

[@bartsullivan4866]

NBC has the coverage now. Lets hope they skip this time wasting tradition of showing the wife and focus on the team not the spouse. The driver and the crew chief are the guys they should be focusing on or the heartbreak of the team in 2nd not the trophy wife.

[@marcushearns4002]

Rossi can say he did it as a rookie in 2016

[@kg0173]

Yes, but you still had few seconds of hope that he will slide over the finish line first. That was the most heartbraking finish ever ahead of 1995, 2002 and 2006.

That yellow was out well before Tracy passed Helio. Im a Paul Tracy fan and he would have won it if the yellow didn't come out but it did and Helio was in the lead when it did. All the videos I have seen show the same thing.

[@lordasami]

The determination from the investigation was that the lights are the FINAL piece of information to report a yellow, but the yellow was official before that point. It's not about when the drivers are informed, it's about when the decision is made, and everyone is then instructed to return to the timestamped position.

@@tommystovall2411 He said "Rick" Mears, not Casey Mears. Rick won in 79, 84, 88, and 1991. He had a dominant car in 1979 only for a pit fire to take him out of the race during one of his pit stops. He just missed 1982 to JohnCock, and could've won in 1986 in the shootout with Rahal and Cogan (but realistically he didn't have a great car that day). There were a few other Indys where he was there at the end. If Rick didn't suffer permanent damage to his feet in 1984 at San Air, he would've won a helluva lot more as he was a master road racer up to that point. After 1984 he was only competitive on ovals.
