Indycar Mid Ohio 2015

For the fourth time in 5 Indycar races an American won!
Justin Wilson finished second for his best finish with Andretti Autosport.
Tristan Vautier was the biggest mover of the race.
Poor Charlie Kimball got hit and spun...a lot. 
Sage Karam spun to bring out the final caution which changed the outcome of the race for a lot of drivers.

And did we mention,

Graham Rahal won at his home track,
where his dad won in 1985 and 1986.
 He is now just 9 points behind Juan Montoya in the Indycar Championship!!!
