NASCAR needs to stop with these late damn starts because of rain. I know NFL is kicking off but there is no reason they couldn't have waited until today to air on ABC or ESPN. The same number of people who saw the end last night would have seen it today as well.

I know Football would have won but the same viewership they got at 11 and 12 at night would have been there the next day as well. No one that was watching that late was some one that would have chosen football over NASCAR and they would have watched the next day anyway. |

Marco Andretti won the pole position for the final race of the IndyCar Series season. Championship contenders Will Power and Ryan Hunter-Reay will start in the middle and back of the field after taking their engine change grid penalties, along with a good chunk of the rest of the field. Not really sure on how the starting order will shake out. Power has a 17 point lead on Hunter-Reay.

So Ryan Hunter-Reay is the champion? Or is Power still leading in points?

How the ass do you spin someone out on an oval during caution?

Legge's strategy is just to take out everyone else.

Now Hunter-Reay needs to finish 5th, if I'm not mistaken, with Power getting enough laps to pass by EJ Viso to get to 24th.
