With the Indy car season over what were the three best Indy car races this year.
My choices would be:
1.89th Indianapolis 500 - I have been watching the '500' every year since 1998 and in that time period this certainly was the best one. Awesome racing on the track combined with a lot of different strategical moves from the teams and good TV ratings made this year's '500' a great success and a very enjoyable show.
2.Chicagoland Indy 400 - there are many big high banked ovals in the IRL (Michigan, Calfifornia, Kansas, etc) but for some reason the racing there isn't as exciting as Chicagoland. This year wasn't an exception. Banzai Briscoe's crash did spoil the show somewhat but other than that the race was awesome
3.A.J. Foyt Indy 225, Milwaukee - the first part of the race wasn't that good with the two Penskes running away but then it was awesome. The contact between Sam and Helio added a lot of excitement and then Sam's awesome run to pass the AGR guys and Scheckter's late move for second. Another race worth being mentioned in the annals of the Milwaukee Mile history.
Races I did not like:
California - a lot of reasons. The racing wasn't as good as at many other tracks and the controversy at the finish didn't improve things. Still a pretty good show but certainly not as good as the majority of the other races
