tcar,

The stupid part is that the Dixon and Briscoe camps could see (especially Dixon, since he is Franchitti's teammate) that Franchitti was slowing down to conserve fuel and make it on 50 lap runs so he wouldn't have to pit an additional time. He smartly stayed w/ this strategy. The others didn't and lost.

I'm disappointed in Penske, who has always been thought of as a master strategist, and in Dixon's team, especially since they would have had access to Franchitti's telemetry.

This wasn't meant as a slight on Franchitti's nationality, wife, or after race etiquette. It was a reference to pathetic performance on the part of the 2 other driver's teams. His team got it right.
