TOP-10 CLOSEST INDYCAR FINISHES

[@mattkowal90]

Chicagoland Speedway was built for IndyCar racing when it comes to this video. Their event always came down to the wire. I miss that track, along with the old Texas Motor Speedway.

@tristanellisgaming3095 yes this is the most exciting track. NASCAR　has abandoned chicago. Now is the time for IndyCar to return .

[@lkadshglkhvani]

Strong evidence that Chicago and Kansas are two of the best ovals.

Awesome seeing those huge crowds!

[@Musicman81Indy]

With so many close finishes on these ovals like Chicagolan and Kansas, I'm shocked that the crowd size shrunk so much over the years to the point where IndyCar doesn't even run at these tracks anymore. How could so many people turn their backs on such good close racing?

[@w.arnold8806]

Maybe it's one thing, you can really enjoy watching those fantastic last laps. But watching those cars packed together the whole race, constantly overtaking again and again, it gets kind of ordinary and boring after a while. I remember that impression from the CART Handford wing races. A barn burner at first but a crowd killer in the long term.

[@rimad1986]

I love indy car

[@ILSRWY4]

you mean you love the IRL.... 90 percent of those finishes are under the IRL Era.

Eu lembro dessa chegada em Chicagoland. O Luciano do Valle na hora gritou vitória do Helinho, mas deram pro Dixon. Só depois de longos minutos é que checaram e confirmaram a vitória do Hélio. Lembro que o carro do Dixon já estava no Victory Lane e o tiraram rapidinho de lá. Hélio com a vitória e Dixon com o título.

[@_al_7210]

Notice the respect the drivers have for each other when driving wheel to wheel and making passes. Same can’t be said about F1. You try to make a pass on the outside and the inside line driver has the right to run you off the course.

[@Rand0mContnt]

*Max Verstappen intensifies*

[@DavidGossettMusic]

Oval etiquette and road course etiquette are very different, even in IndyCar/CART. In F1, most of the corners are in the 80-160mph range with a few like Eau Rouge and 130R upwards of 190-200. If an incident happens, you have some run-off and aren't in the direct line of oncoming cars. On an oval at 210-220mph, the risk of going airborne is much higher. Also any incident is more likely to catch out following drivers. NASCAR has a bit more to protect the drivers, but even with the current aero-screen, IndyCar drivers are not as protected. Wicken's crash at Pocono was an unfortunate reminder of how dangerous the catch fence can be to an open wheel chassis at those speeds.

[@_al_7210]

@@DavidGossettMusic while I completely agree with what you said. F1 drivers still drive around and shove others off the track because it’s something they’ve been taught in the rookie series. And for the most part the FIA let’s them get away with it. This whole “it’s my corner/line” is bs. If a driver manages to get alongside another driver in the corner, without going super deep, then that driver deserves to challenge the position and shouldn’t be pushed off the track. Wickens accident was very unfortunate. Indycar oval racing is dangerous no question about it. But F1 can also resemble indycar crashes. Think back to Alonso going airborne into turn 3 I believe in the Australian Grand Prix a few years back. It was a horrible crash he somehow managed to walk away from. My point is no driver should be allowed to push another driver off the track and get away with it.

[@chadhornish4769]

Alright - as an F1 fan who's never watched Indy...I'm envious how closely the cars can race without losing performance. Does Indy have Indy TV like F1TV?

Ridiculous pack racing created by the split in 1996 - with dumbed-down, slow high downforce cars designed to emulate high banked NASCAR stock car racing. Something that never should have been created and the type of racing that helped destroy American open-wheel.

[@DW98rosy]

cars that still looked, sounded, and raced better then the ugly, ear grating death traps CART was using, and infinitely more exciting to watch then most nascar races. this, to me, is american open-wheel racing. glorious cars with blissful sounding engines, screaming around ovals at insane speeds, which is something you just wouldn't find at any other place in the world. it's beautiful, and i love it for it.
