Congrats to Dario on his third 500 win! What a great race! Sato got pinched on the inside, but he didn't have enough room to begin with.

I kinda thought Dario pinched him off. If the rolls were reversed Dario would have been whining for sure.

I thought it was a good race. I actually like the look of the new cars. I don't know about Sato getting pinched. When I was watching it live, and he went into turn 1 like that, I was thinking that they were both going into the wall and that was before he even got loose. I kind of agree with the announcers that if he had waiting one more turn, it would have been his. I'm sure that if I were the one in the wall, I'm sure sure I'd be upset too; tough call...

Although Im a fan of Dario I was hoping the Tony Kanaan would have won just cuase of how bad he wanted it. He was by far the most emotional when Dan Wheldon passed away and wanted his head next to Dan's on the Trophy...

All in all, congrats Dario, it was a hellova race.

Yeah, I was rooting for Tony, too. He just couldn't hold Dario off.
