I'm not a huge Dixon fan but he earned it.

-Montoya had a commanding lead but had a bad last quarter of the season. He threw away the championship with his bad move on Power.
-Rahal was on a charge and would have taken the championship if it weren't for two bad accidents that were not his fault. Both should be bummed but that's racing.

I think that double points at the end of the season made it an exciting race right to the end. In reality there were only three people that had a realistic chance so it wasn't like anyone could win it. To be down on the the double points would be like saying that a football team has a perfect season and then gets knocked out in the first playoff game so the system sucks. No, that's just the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. At that level, the winner is not the most talented but the one that has the strongest mental focus and a little luck. Dixon had both the focus and luck today. BTW, there was one race a while back where Dixon gotten into an accident they had to take the car into the back to fix it. They came back out and ran the rest of the race God knows how many laps behind the leader but that one act of will and determination got them ONE POINT more. That one point seemed useless at the time but it was the last point they needed to tie with Montoya and ultimately win by having more race wins. If Montoya had led just one lap today he would have won the cup. If Montoya had not tagged Power he would have won the cup.

Today's race was a WIN for the fans and for Indycar!
