    Hearing that final goodbye by Bob Jenkins again made me teary-eyed. Growing up, Bob Jenkins and Paul Page narrated NASCAR and Indy Car for me, and yes I do mean narrated. The best broadcasters have a way of weaving a tale during the race and making you feel as though you're sitting with your parents listening to them tell you a story. He was one of the best to ever bring us a race live, and not many have ever had such a gift like that.

    Bob Jenkins is my favorite Broadcaster of all time period. There is nobody that brings as much passion and excitement to every lap, whether it the middle of a 500 lap short track race, or the final lap of the Indy 500, or the first lap on a street circuit, Bob was the best. If I ever get an opportunity to be a race commentator, I will use Bob as the standard to which I hold my performance. Well done!

    I was a nervous wreck and sick to my stomach all race. Baltimore almost gave me a heart attack in of itself. It's always amazing when your favorite driver has a shot at a championship, and even more so when he wins it. It's been several days and I'm still celebrating. It's almost surreal. Congrats RHR! You've persevered and you're a champion!

    My buddy and I got to go see this race. It was my first oval live (after going to Long Beach every year since 2005) It was AWESOME!!! Hope they make this race a regular on the schedule every year, I'll be there from green to checkered flag everytime!

    I went to Fontana for the last 3 years and 2012 was the best race of them all. Dramatic from beginning to end...not to mention that the temperature was103 degrees to start the race. It sucks that the final is in Sonoma next year. It definitely won't have that "championship" feel that a race on a high speed oval does.

    Mike Conway says that he is not confortable on racing ovals and does not want to race on them. Wade Cunningham took over for Conway. Remember the Englishman got wounded in 2010 at Indianapolis when he broke his leg and suffered a compression fracture of one of his thoracic vertebrae and has been fitted with back brace and had to sit out for the rest of the season? Scary. He did the same thing in 2012 in Indy, but was uninjured. Also, let's not forget the 2011 death of Dan Wheldon in Las Vegas.

  • @pajasa62
    @pajasa62 11 лет назад +2

    Exactly...it is so great to be able to follow the cars around the track. It was so hot in 2012...103 degrees both days I was there for qualifying and the race.
    This year Sabastien Bourdais was on my connecting flight at Dallas. I was surprised to see him travel alone.

  • @williamfernetducharme
    @williamfernetducharme 4 года назад +2

    I felt so bad for Will Power to miss the championship 3 years in a row by crashing out on the final race. At that time, I really wanted him to become champion because it's the 3rd time he tried to become champion and he had a decent lead over Ryan Hunter-Reay. I really felt that Will Power deserved to become champion this year and I was confident that he would win. But looking at the statistics 8 years later, it was actually the perfect thing that Ryan Hunter-Reay became champion in 2012. It was the only time in his career that he had a chance to win the championship and he did it. But thankfully, Will Power went on to become champion in 2014. It took him a long time to find redemption but he did it. Never give up on your dreams. That's how you get through the toughest and most heartbreaking moments of your career. Firstly, you make mistakes, secondly, you learn from your mistakes and thirdly, turn these mistakes into achievements.

    We got general admission tickets, pit/paddock passes and scanners for two for total of $90 (45 each) There were more people than it looks. The stands go for a whole mile along front stretch and parts of turns 1 and 4. I'd say about the middle 50% of the seats were filled. The seat sections on both ends were closed We actually sat in the upper premium seats hehe :)

    Large crowd and great race last night. Too bad they don't race here a couple of times a year. I've never been to a road race, but I can't imagine its better for a spectator than a beautiful oval like this where you can see the entire race and follow all the action around the track.

  • @chrisautosport
    @chrisautosport 12 лет назад

    Fantastic race. RHR was SO lucky. Not only did Power crash, but he capitalized on the misfortunes of Briscoe and Tagliani and several other drivers (maybe Sato) to stay alive. Wanting Power to win, it was a little frustrating. But RHR deserves it. Hopefully Power will win next year.
    On a different note, I think Katherine Legge did an outstanding job. Other than her pit penalty on her first stop, she kept pace. Barichello and Tagliani also did really well. I look forward to next year.

  • @SortaNonymous

    Crazy how, at least as far as the record books are concerned, both the 2011 and 2012 finales had Will Power going from the points lead to runner-up after some brutal misfortune and Ed Carpenter winning the race by the skin of his teeth. Quite frankly, I can hardly imagine how frustrating it was for both Will Power and his fans, although of course he finally got the job done in 2014 (and then again in 2022)

    Would have loved to watch this live, but IndyCar is contracted with BFEtv. Went out to the CART races in 97 & 98 when the track opened. Could not believe that they were doing 240+ mph going into turn 3. Wish the IRL would return to MIS. Even better, light MIS & run the race @ nite!

    tickets started at at 35, 30 if you got them before the day of the race. That is CHEAP compared to the F1 Houston Grand Prix later this year, that stupid thing is starting at almost 300.00 and parking is around 150. And even in this economy, people from all over will spend that and more to see an F1, even the "99%". This last Indycar race was totally worth it. Good thing I live 3 miles away from autoclub, cant wait for next year.

    Yes they could race, only problem is Vegas as a city doesn't want it. Even with all the promotion and free tickets only 20,000 showed. Sure IndyCar could race again at Vegas, but it'd be a loser of a race. Worse than Kentucky in 2011.
