    So did anyone see sunday's indyCar race

    For those who didn't see it I will set it up for you their was a restart with 2 or 3 laps left and Helio Castroneves blocks Will power at the bottom lane and will falls down from second to third position behind Scott Dixon anyway Helio crossed the line first but had the win revoked for a blocking penaltyand Scott Dixon was given the win. And after the race Helio went to several officials and even the flagman and started screaming and cursing and even grabbed the collars of a few officials shirts.

    Wow the WIN was revoked .... NO, darn it I missed it.

    Would have loved to have seen him making a scene.
    Come on Helio .... you can do better then that.

    I didn't watch the IndyCar race Sunday, but I have watched several this season, and I must say -- I do NOT like their penalties for blocking. They are too much of a subjective penalty...

    After watching it, I think it's a terrible call. The track was very wide right there... Power could have jumped to the outside and tried to make that work instead...

    I don't believe it was the right call either but Helio's reaction was priceless.

    Penalty for blocking? Are you kidding me? Thanks for reminding me why I don't watch IndyCars.

    OMG you guys, being the resident Helio fan, I was beyond peeved and IMO, Brian Barnhart is a butthead for that. And WILLIAM Power got away with basically doing the same exact thing to Helio at the START of the race too!! Glad to see you guys sticking up for my boy in this one and I appreciate it

    I didn't realize that he was put on probation until the end of the season. I guess he shouldn't have grabbed that Official by the collar.... my guess as to why he got probation. <idk> The call was totally wrong!! NO wonder INDY ratings are so poor. That was BS.

    Like I stated earlier I missed the race so I can't comment on Will's so called move. But be nice when your talking about my boy(s) Will and Ryan j/k
