People sometimes refer to this era of IndyCar as "pack racing," when in most cases the cars were never in a pack, they were just drafting lines. Well, the last 5 laps of this Chicago race were the most packtastic pack racing IndyCar ever had and the drivers handled it just beautifully. Excellent driving by everyone that night, very respectful
Indycar pack racing is life!
Let’s call it what it was…a foot to the floor, low hp/high downforce, engineering exercise. It was single file because they were riding around. As soon as someone pulled into the second lane it turned into a giant pack.
If talent had much to do with it, Duno would have been lapped in less than 20 laps. It catered more to frustrated nascar fans than anything else. It culminated in the preventable death of a two time Indy 500 champion.
The drivers managed as best they could during this era. A handful enjoyed, but most loathed it while outwardly tolerating it.
Just curious. I'm new to Indycar so I'm wondering how you'd compare this gen of cars to this year's.. Just watched the Texas race and it was insanely epic. It seemed much more competitive than this particular race with multiple passes per lap on a similar kind of circuit..
@jeffrey mbugua The 2000s cars had less horsepower, so the drafting would keep the cars close, but if the fastest car had the lead, then the aerodynamics would not allow a car to get a run and pass. The current IndyCars have a nice combination of power and aerodynamics so there's more passing now. And now there's a little more tire wear too, so there's passing on long runs because of that
In case people forgot, IndyCar changed the aero package during the season after an awful race at Indy and Richmond with virtually no passing
RIP Dan Wheldon, Bob Jenkins, Justin Wilson...
Dan Wheldon died In 2011 at Las Vegas Speedway,Bob Jenkins died In 2021 and Justin Wilson died in 2015 at Pocono Raceway
Chicagoland Speedway. Please come back someday. We in Chicago would love to see another race there again
Those of us not in Chicago would also. Kentucky, too.
Indycar needs more ovals and bringing back Michigan would be a good start. Some more 1.5 mile ovals would be good too
Ovals are so boring
@@Cirerinwrong
@@TheAtomicBurrito81 nah they are street tracks and road courses are inferior in every way because there is way more room for error
@@Cirerin There might be on some of the natural terrain road courses, but there is much more room for error at a place like Kentucky than there is at a place like Long Beach, Houston (ask Dario) or some other more narrow street course.
Seeing what IndyCar did at Texas this last weekend (downforce package, high-lane practice), I could welcome a return to Chicagoland. The Texas race proved IndyCars can put on a terrific show on a banked mile & ½ track without running in a pack all day.
Man, this really was peak IndyCar. Grandstands are full at a non-Indy track, racing is amazing, everyone wins. Wish current IndyCar higher-ups would look back and realize that what worked for them in the past will still work for them a million times better than coming back for a second race at the Indy road course.
“But… But Indy GP2 saves costs… For the teams? 🥺🥺🥺”
Dang, Graham looks young. Actually crazy that Dixon, Power, Castroneves and Rahal still brake the soundbarrier from time to time. Even Ed!
Weird to see that 33 on another Dutchie
Whenever I see that Target Ganassi car I get goosebumps. Thanks for the upload.
For the 2009 INDYCAR races you should upload; Chicagoland and Kentucky should be definite must be uploads
Despite being pack racing, this is one of the greatest Indycar races of all time.
possibly the greatest AOWR race (although the 2010 race at Chicago or the 2001 CART race at Fontana might put up a fight)
1:31 Still have NO idea WTH that opening was all about! LOL!
52:20 start your engines.
58:20 green flag
This is a good one to put on classic indycar this race had real pack racing all the lead lap cars all together in the end of this one.
I love that when you have a classic rewind and Scott Dixon is always there.😅
Man this track was good. WHAT A FINISH
This was an awesome race
ryan shoul've won that championship
Packed grandstands and pack racing. Hey Indycar do you see what can happen when you have exciting close racing??
A bunch of frustrated, nascar smooth brains get hyped up? If it was so popular, why did all the races go away? I sure don’t remember many fans at LVMS in 2011… peak pack racing (look what that got us).
@@andrewclauson368 Conflicts with NASCAR is why Chicagoland, and Kentucky, went away. Now those 2 tracks lay dormant with no racing dates. LVMS 2011 was not so much a case of pack racing but a case of the IRL honcho at the time (the one that replaced Tony George) deciding on the "let's run 34 cars" gimmick at a track that was not made for 34 cars going 200+ MPH -- it is too narrow. 34 cars was at least 10 too many. In order to fill the field, they added some one-off drivers that didn't have the proper experience to drive at a place like LVMS. One of those one-offs trying to go three wide someplace he should not have is what set that all off.
Why did they stop racing here?
IIRC, NASCAR scheduled a Chicagoland date that conflicted with when IndyCar could schedule an appearance. More recently, the track (like Kentucky) is not hosting any races at all.
Had they run at Charlotte Motor Speedway at that point, they probably would’ve been able to have a photo finish, just like Chicagoland.
Hearing Bob Jenkins as a Part of Versus and not ESPN is really weird. But Bob in my Book is an Underrated IndyCar Play by Play Guy
The IRL cars were the ugliest, bulky cars. Cart had the better looking cars. Cart had better sounding engines.
