Battle for the win? Heck...from the research I did and from what people tell me...all the way up to the top 5...the drivers behind were atleast 1 or more laps down. How do people battle for a win when the margins are so big? Now I'm not saying their were not close races...but their were plently more big margin finishes then their are now.

Well look at it this way... the guys from fifth on might have been a lap down, but they still raced hard sometimes coming back from a lap down without a caution flag to help. They still raced hard with the others around in case the top five had trouble liking wrecking or puking an engine.

I dunno about that Mike. Have you ever been to a race at MIS.

I would agree that the Indy "Tire debacle" was worse.
