Pick the Podium: Indycar - Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama

Well done Graham, I rather enjoyed that. Shame there wasn't less traffic after his stop (or two more laps).

Did Dixon run out of fuel at the end or did he just realize that since Rahal got by he was in no danger so he backed off? Rahal was GONE as soon as he passed.

I believe that they were speculating that Dixon was pretty tight on fuel (I was switching back & forth between the race & the hockey game!), so I imagine that he backed off as soon as Graham got by.

That's what Dixon stated he did after the race in the post-race interview, Indy and forty_three.

It was cool what Rahal did that last run. Came from way back.
I don't watch a ton of Indy car, but I always thought they were pretty strict on how they drove. That guy Gonzalez seemed pretty reckless crowding drivers that were trying to pass him. Then I watched Hunter Reay be literally pushed off the track by another driver.
I guess they lightened up on rules of blocking & defensive driving this year?
