    how was it this even was able to happen??

    I was at the race Sunday & one thing completely baffled me.......earlier in the race, during the first round of pitstops, Helio missed his pit-in signal & got stuck circulating behind Wheldon & a batch of other backmarkers.......I did not once see a blue flag being displayed to the backmarkers who were holding him up close to 3 seconds a lap....it seems ludicrous that there's such a stink about "blocking" among people racing for position but this was allowed to occur......anyone have any insights on IndyCar's use of the blue flag????

    Disagree

    I don't see that - Scheckter was one of the leaders too, they were both on the same lap, this was NOT a lapping move bit one for position. You look at the replay again, and Helio doesn't even try to turn into the corner, just goes straight on - I can see why Scheckter was so annoyed. Should add yet a bit more fun for the last race though - keep an eye on these two !

    100% at fault

    Castroneves was the only cause of this accident. He wasn`t close enough to make a pass. He should have known.

    Suppost to loose points...

    Every time that a driver blocks a front driver in the racing, he is suppost to loose points...., Scheckter is a jerk for blocking Castroneves, one of the leaders..., he'll never be anybodi in the IndyCar series, if he insists in doing this..., was so easy to look in to his mirros and let Helio pass by him...
