I'm part of a group of long-time fans, and we're all in agreement that diving below the dotted line should not be allowed. We've seen too many vicious hits on that attenuator. We all know that Newgarden--(whom I have known personally since his Lights days, and I am glad to see him win--made a point that Race Control said going low there would not be penalized, but no one seems to know the purpose of that dotted line now.

All the drivers were re-starting with the same "cold" tires. Ericsson was beat at his own game and he can't take it. He was swerving below the dotted line also... IT'S THE LAST LAP WHAT DO YOU EXPECT !!!!! The peoples INDY500 CHAMPION !!! Celebrated with the fans, Josef Newgarden, what a class act !!!!

Sour grapes from Ericsson. He was in the lead after 2 red flags only because he was inches ahead of Newgarden on the previous restart, which was aborted within seconds, almost as soon as it began, with the leaders not even having a chance to race to Turn 1. But he doesn't want a 3rd red flag when it doesn't suit him?! Go figure. Newgarden deserved it, and he would have won anyway had there been only 1 red flag.

This is quite strange isn't it Rodger Penske owns the racetrack the Indycar series also three cars in the race which one of them is in second place. I never seen three red flags at the end of an indy 500. Really make you think about this one. So these are the rules ? Moving forward no indy car races will end with a yellow flag unless you control everything.

This was Erickson's mistake. He was tucked right up to Newgarden and in his draft through the corner. Erickson knew full well what Newgarden was going to do.
He should have been slightly off the throttle in the corner letting NGD pull him and as soon as he was straight he should have punched the throttle and gone in a straight line to the finish line while NGD started is weaving which would have slowed him down. He would have recovered too late and EKSN might have been able to drag race him to the line.

Ericsson did the same move same as a lot of others, so how does it just make Newgarden get a penalty? That’s just racing tactics
