30 minutes to go. Just a little while ago, it looked like it was going to be a Shoot-Out to the end between:
#02 Ganassi Riley/Ford - Scott Dixon, Tony Kanaan, Kyle Larson & Jamie McMurray
#10 Wayne Taylor Corvette - Jordan Taylor, Ricky Taylor & Mad Max Angelelli

But the #02 team made a much quicker final pit stop than the #10 team. Jordan trailing Scott by 3.5 & closing, but can he both run down the Ganassi car & pass it? Earlier in the event Ricky Taylor was blazing the track in the #10 of his Dad's team. Not sure he left much car for brother Jordan to close out the deal.

Congrats to #02 Ganassi Riley/Ford with Scott Dixon, Tony Kanaan, Kyle Larson & Jamie McMurray

Sad the #10 Wayne Taylor Corvette with Jordan Taylor, Ricky Taylor & Mad Max Angelelli had an opportunity to win it all & made a driver time calculation error.

For those that don't understand this part. The team made an error & miscalculated. They put Jordan in the car with too much time left. Had he drove the last 11 minutes, he would have been disqualified & that team would have rec'd no points for the race, which would have killed them in the championship chase. The #02 team isn't running for the championship.

I thought I heard that the 02 was running on lower boost to conserve fuel and try to ensure engine life. How much do you think they had left in reserve? Enough to keep Jordan at bay had he been able to stay in the car?

I wished the 01 could have made it to the end as well.
