GP of Indy recap

Awesome inaugural race!

The top five:

Simon Pagenaud 

Ryan Hunter-Reay

Helio Castroneves
 

Sebastian Bourdais

Charlie Kimball

The Weather:

* Sunny
* 78 degrees
* Pretty Hot (although the slight breeze that came once in a while was nice)

Other Stuff

* Carlos Munoz and Mikhail Aleshin crashed into polesitter Sebastian Saavedra when he stalled on the standing start.  It was really scary and just looked like an explosion from our seats luckily everyone was ok.

* Graham Rahal crashed into the wall on a restart after having a very good race.

* Rookie Jack Hawksworth (who started on the front row) made a great showing and led 30 laps before fading late in the race.

* James Hinchcliffe was hit in the head by a piece of debris late in the race and suffered a concussion and will have to undergo further evaluation before being allowed to drive. (EJ Viso will fill in for him in the #27 car for now)

* Josef Newgarden made some contact on the first restart and fell back eventually finishing 17th. Alex was not happy to see Josef in the back all day but still cheered every time he went by.

Thanks to J. Douglas Boles for opening the great seats above Gasoline Alley for all general      admission spectators when the spectator mounds got really full.

This was the super view we had from those seats:
