Kanaan wins the Title!

Well done to TK on winning the title from 2nd a close race.
All the way from the back.

Also Well done to Fernandez on winning his second straight win!

5 cautions, 4 in the very last part of the race!

Wow, what a finish!

Congrats to Tony on the championship. He deserved it, no doubt about that!

What a great comeback by Fernandez on that last lap shoot-out!

Did you see Wheldon come from 8th to 3rd?! If there was another lap or two left, he might have taken the victory.

Helio, Helio, Helio! That was your race man, and all you have to show for it, is a lousy 7th place!

Great final 10 minutes. Those yellows really made things interesting!

Well deserved champion Tony.

If the end had run without cautions Helio would have won, but that's racing.

Here's to a great season finale, with everyone racing to win and championship thoughts immaterial!

Good chop Tony!

Second after starting last, IRL champ after an expectedly consistent season.

Well done Tony. Excellent race.
Thought the 2nd yellow was a bit sceptical .......for debri. Didn't see anyone crash or hit the wall myself. Certainly bunched them all up, or was that the intention, shortly to be followed by a black flag, drive through for Wheldon. Suspicious! maybe
Bet they didn't expect there to be a whole run of yellows after that though.

Tony's really been the man this year, hasn't he? Great drive from him from last to second, and so nearly first.

Thoroughly impressive achievement from Tony, appropriately capped by one of the alltime great IRL drives. I was hoping Helio would win that one, but the yellows cameat exactly the wrong times for him.

Awesome season from Kanaan.......very very consistent.

My heart wanted Dan to win it, as unlikely as it was, but Tony has been so very measured this year.

Congratulations to the 2004 IRL champ!

Yeah, the four car donut from AGR was pretty interesting. I was worried they were going to run into one another.

#1 The yellow was for something (thought at the time to be part of a CV joint) that fell off Vitors car. 2 cars had cut tires from it

#2 The black flag was for Dan Wheldons intentional running up the track of Sam Hornish almost causing him to crash. Wheldon said he had a push, but his car was loose all race.
