I think Paul Tracy is an excellent announcer , being a former racer and one that was known to do whatever it takes he brings an interesting perspective to the booth . He's not afraid to say what he thinks , he may be a little raw in delivery but that makes him different and less wooden than others . I like the current announcer lineup that Indy has and I also like the racing . I will admit I like the street circuits and road courses more than the ovals but overall the series has a good mix .
During the race when the cameras panned to the chunks of curbing that were on the track the announcers speculated if a yellow was going to be thrown for track cleanup . Of course that would have bunched up the field . The decision was made to " let them race " which I respect . Had this been F1 they would have done a safety car/full course yellow/drivers change your panties/let's analyze data for an hour and restarted
