Toward the end of the race, some cars were cutting it close on fuel if it stayed green and some could make it either way. That was good, and pretty typical for Indy. I thought anything but a half throttle fuel mileage win, and hopefully an American gets a shot at the win; and then came Hildebrand. I thought check this out....he's got a chance. Then a couple more laps go by, a damn good chance. Then, the white flag comes out, and I'm thinking check it out an American driver is gonna win the Indy 500, and a rookie at that.
Going into 3&4 you can see he's got one car to get around. Man,how's this gonna work out. Is he gonna go high or low? He goes high, and I'm thinking, nice, pass'em on the high side and down the front stretch to the checkers. Certainly wasn't thinking what really happened.
One of the tv commentators said something like, It's going to take him awhile to get over that. I thought yea dumb ass, like the rest of his life.
I hate to say it, but I think he just became the new Agony of Defeat guy.
