He nearly got bumped out, after holding down the 10th spot previously. It would have been a bummer had both he and Hinch gotten bumped out.
Have fun, astrochex! I went in 2016 and 2011, both great races. In 2016, we were in the short chute after T1, and I'll never forget when Rossi came by on the last lap, running on fumes, at "only" 180 mph. A few seconds later, the hounds closed in. It seemed certain they'd catch him, but they didn't. Awesome finish.
I love all kinds of racing, but Indy has always been magical to me. I clearly remember the 1967 race, when I was a wee lad, and the STP Turbine Car changed everything forever. . . or so we thought!
