    Ok, so maybe coming back to New Hampshire wasn't such a great idea for the Indy Cars. Not a spectacular exhibition of open wheel racing....

    Heard the crowd was 15-18,000. Iffy weather, but still...

    FWIW, Curt Cavin was estimating the crowd at 30k. Seems optimistic.

    What a clusterf*ck. After enduring a sloppy, wreck filled race, on a poor track for open wheel.....ICS tries to force a restart on a wet track, with 9 laps to go & has the inevitable wreck. Screws a bunch of the leaders & impacts a potential significant change to the points standings.

    Restart during the rain -- not the brightest idea Brian Barnhart ever had. Though it did give us Will Power throwing an obscene gesture on live TV.

    A two-fisted, grimacing obscene gesture. Quality stuff.

    Man, he's just shredding Barnhart. Classic.

    How has Barnhart kept this job for so long?

    ABC says it's trying to get Barnhart on air. Good luck with that!

    Brian Barnhart, on ABC not taking blame for restart.

    Edit: He's throwing "track observers" under the bus. And ABC, being a good corporate partner, isn't calling him on it.

    How many observers do you need on a small oval?
