i always loved the Rahal/Papis miller lite livery. that deep blue and silver looked fantastic on that car. i know liveries arent that important but that was a great looking car.

Oval racing is a totaly different skill than road courses...it is just another challenge for the driver. What is wrong with 6 of 16 courses to be ovals? (i.e. 1993 when it was popular all over) Also people complain because it used to have 4 types of racing (Street, Road, Short Oval and Superspeedway), now of which they only race on 2. Diversity in tracks is good. I don't understand why people dispise ovals so much...with its close racing, high speeds, and different skill set.

Just not quite the same without Ben Edwards' mental reaction to the finish. "HE'S SLOWING DOWN! KANAAN!! KANAAN HAS COME PAST!!!!!!!!!!"

I remember watching that race. No matter who you rooted for, you just had to feel for him. At least he had a fine season that year and got his first the next season.

Classic race, but I always thought it was weird that Paul Page was saying "Is Max Papis going to win? It sure looks that way." when he was clearly slowing due to being out of fuel...

Thank You Tony George for screwing up the Indy 500 in 1996. CART was dumb in 1996 to run the US 500 on the same day.

I still think Montoya's last lap where he gained about a second in the last couple turns is hilarious. I don't know why. And I never would have guessed at this point that Tony Kanaan would eventually become a superstar. I guess I should have seen it when he blew Zanardi out of the water at Mo Nunn in 2001.

@arenasnow I remember the post race from that day. Montoya made up so much ground on Kanaan b/c Kanaan let off. He saw Papis slow and thought there was an accident or something ahead. Montoya went for broke and tried to get Kanaan.

I don't understand why many people complain about racing circuits or street courses when true driver skill manifests itself on this sort of tracks compared to ovals. This is why US Racing series (IRL,Champ and NASCAR)never attains worldwide popularity much like F1 does because running circles 90 times is just too boring.

It's a shame they never raced at MIS again... Here's the reason: Champcar is promoting too many and unecessary street-courses. Which I believe is borish and definitely not traditional for fans. Next year CCWS will be all road-racing and not an oval to spare. All road racing without the ovals is crap, (
