Herta looked fast enough to catch Paro any way... but yeah, that pick play with Robb certainly helped and was spectacular. I thought Herta was going to punt Robb, it looked like he got reaaaallly close before being able to slid below him.
Mclaughlin vs Newgarden in particular. Those 2 showed AMAZING car control in a situation that had a high probability of collision considering how close they were when side-by-side.
What a race in Nashville Superspeedway., what a finale in 2024 Indycar season. Congratulations to Alex Palou for his 3rd Indycar Title in 4 years! 😁😁😁🏆🏆🏆 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Season finale needs to stay on an oval. This oval is definitely suitable. It’s a very good track. Nothing against street courses, I like all tracks. But, there is no street course that could be as entertaining as yesterday’s race. Just a fans perspective.
@@markhunt7434? that had nothing to do with the schedule or the racing. The best aspect of IRL was the fact it was only ovals. Literally everybody thinks that except you apparently, the racing was top notch.
@@crocus9905So that's why everyone is disagreeing with you? We saw exact how much people cared about an oval dominated series when ISC stopped making NASCAR ticket buyers also buy IndyCar tickets in 2009. Nowadays, you need a concert with the bonus of a race to show up to an oval.
A cracking way to end the year.👍👍👍 well done to Colton and Andretti on the win and congrats to Alex on the Championship. Bring on 2025, the month of May and the Indy 500!👍😎👍😎👍😎
Can't believe a loosen seatbelt pretty much ruined Will Power's title dream. Had that never happen, he could've been the one fighting in the top 3. Gutted for him
Nice finish Scotty Mac. A shame you wasn't challenging for #1, considering that you led more laps than anyone this season, by nearly 2 times over the next most laps led (Herta).
It's easy to think it's just 4 lefts until you realize you're going over 200 mph, at the limits of traction, and having to race your race while dealing with lapped cars racing their race.
Both series are amazing. Oval racing is just peak its constant action and always on the edge. Both seasons this year have been seasons to remember forever.

Not a bad season, but not a great season. I hope some hard questions are asked within Indy HQ over the offseason. Something needs to change, because at the moment you have some of the best drivers in the world being terribly undersold, and a premier open wheel series that relies on history to remain relevant. If Indycar can’t even sell out a race in Josef Newgardens home town what on earth are they doing? I’m with Michael Andretti on this one. Either invest, or sell. If they sell, the management will be changed. If they invest, so much change is needed its effectively a vote of no confidence in management. Whatever the outcome, just less of the same please. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
You can’t give any suggestions to Penske, he knows everything. But I agree with everything you said. The unwillingness to invest is mind boggling. You have to invest to grow and get potential return on investment.

It's based on race distance; it takes 206 laps to complete 266.6mi. That said, looking at wikipedia shows that previous races held here have all been the same distance (266.6mi/429.05km) but they were only 200 laps. Guess they shortened the circuit a little bit somewhere.
@@__vx3Technically it was originally a Grand Prix and those calculations were used to determine race length. Thankfully it was moved from the terrible Nashville street construction due to the new Titans Stadium under construction.
Even at double speed, my max, oval racing is boring until someone makes a mistake, that is to everyone except the announcers. How do they stay so excited for an entire race? I know that is what they get paid for. Even NASCAR is better on a road course!
yeah cause f1 is so much better ..not you are obvisly not a true race fan you dont understand thers never min to min racing at any race duh there where over 300 passes in this race. nascar is better at what crashing did you watch the glen crash feast sunday
Great season, lots of fun. Can't wait until next year.
It's nice to see the Indycar Series returning to Nashville Speedway over decade, will return in 2025 season
what a race! what a championship
Herta saying sting ray robb helped him. A lot of drivers would have said nothing about it.
Herta looked fast enough to catch Paro any way... but yeah, that pick play with Robb certainly helped and was spectacular.

Newgarden and Mclaughlin / Herta and O"ward good sparing. Thanks indycar for the highlights, entertaining racing, see you next year.

Bravo Colton! Bravo !!!👏👏👏✌✌✌
Indycar is back! 😎😎
this is the indycar the fans want, great job guys!
Excellent season finale!!
Thank you for posting 👍👍

let's go, palou! 🎉

The entire series needs to be oval.

F-ing great race.
Has been an incredible year of racing. Cant wait for 2025!

Well, that and spinning himself out at Milwaukee and crashing into his teammate at Toronto.
@@STC987 And crashing out of the indy 500 on his own
Will Power is one of my favorite drivers, but he's thrown away at least 3 championships due to unforced errors.
Texas, Phoenix and LV are Good tracks, too.
Way to be Colton 👍
Canapinoooo. Colapintooooo
Right
Nice finish Scotty Mac. A shame you wasn't challenging for #1, considering that you led more laps than anyone this season, by nearly 2 times over the next most laps led (Herta).
Malukas is gonna win a race next year.
And Lundgaard could fight for a title next year...
From an F1 fan, this is amazing amazing racing
It's easy to think it's just 4 lefts until you realize you're going over 200 mph, at the limits of traction, and having to race your race while dealing with lapped cars racing their race.
F1 fan? You know that these cars are .... FAR easier to drive than Formula One
@@Firemarioflower not according to the drivers who have driven both....

Unbelievable pass by Herta for the win, balls of steel to go low on Sting Ray there.
Will Power has lost 3 championships in his career through a lack of luck. Gotta feel for the guy
Sounds like a Lando Norris quote. Luck had some to do with it but wasn't the main factor.
congrats to alex palou for 3rd title & colton W 🎉🙌.
it’s gonna b another long off-season wait til february or march

Does Herta now qualify for FIA super license?
Alright alright lets not get too crazy (jk lol)
No, and eve if he did.. is he going to F1? I thought INdY iS BeTtEr tHaN F1.. that's what ppl around here can't just stop saying 🤣

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
If Robin Miller was still with us, he would be the first to hold the door open for Mark Miles exit from IndyCar once and (thankfully) for all.
You can’t give any suggestions to Penske, he knows everything. But I agree with everything you said. The unwillingness to invest is mind boggling. You have to invest to grow and get potential return on investment.
The race was almost completely sold out. If the stands look partially empty it’s because the ticket holders didn’t come.
The season was much better regarding the tyres, which were bubblegum previous year, but this time they held on nicely, including the red-walled ones.

why does the Legge person keep racing? I swear they've crashed in every race they've been in
because she has sponser an money ..duh stop hating plenty of other drivers who never win ROSSI IS ONE last win 5 years ago haha
@@phillippugh2161 there’s not winning in awhile and then theres crashing out every race. Lol
Why is Palou going on victory lane when Herta won the race? That seems wrong.
He won the championship, but Herta won the Custom Shop Gibson Les Paul. Almost a fair trade.
On the Championship winning race it’s ALWAYS ABT THE CHAMPION… EACH SEASON. Nothing new. They ALL know this
Wtf oval racetrack? How boring
i bet you enjoy watching paint dry and lance stroll drive into gravel traps
another 6 month indycar season down...
whats your point ...how many races did you attend this ..........
0:06 - sting ray almost losing the car and causing a pileup at the start
How do they randomly decide it is 206 laps?

Palou should go to F1, now.
not a chance he blow it
he's said he'd rather be in IndyCar winning championships than in F1 driving for a team that won't win a race.
No seat, even McLaren didnt give him one
