Ah okay. I was only half watching and when I looked up I didn't see anything on the track. Shame it had to end it like that, but happens. Good to see TK win but all the fake drama was tiring. Yeah yeah, it took 12 years. Whatever.

How was there "fake drama?"
You admitted you weren't really watching, and you apparently don't understand that Indy is 500 miles. Not 503, not 506, etc. This is not NASCAR. It can, and does, end under caution.
It was not a shame at all and was actually a great race with a great driver winning.
Those of us who have seen decades of Indy 500 races and seen what can happen at that track understand that there is no "fake drama." It's all real.
I didn't see any fake drama and there were a lot of competitive cars to the last. It end under the rules as has happened before which as why they started racing further from the end than in most racing and why restarts are so important at that point.
People taking turns running at the point, droning on and on, marking time waiting for the last few laps. The identical looking spec cars, looking like overgrown toys, could have been on autopilot.
The much ballyhooed many passes for the lead were possible and even inevitable because of car design, not driver skill. Even a superior driver could not make a pass and run away from the pack.
The winner is determined as much by luck as anything - just happen to be in the right position at the end.
This race is no longer a spectacle and has become a 3 hour version of this:
Yes I had no idea it was 500 miles, hence the name. Yuhhuh. So it's 500 miles, so? That's not a big deal any more. In 1960, yes but not now. The fake drama is the endless fawning over the back story of TK and others. Asking other drivers how they felt about him winning...well, they are happy for a friend but couldn't care less in the moment about anyone winning but them. They lost, they're pissed. Trying to drum up drama like that is fake. I saw no drama on the track, it was too easy driving. Point and shoot racing.
As to the race, dead boring. Hence I could only half watch it. It is a shame it ended under caution. That's never a good deal. I never said make it the Indy 503, I simply said a green flag ending is better. No one can argue against that one.
