This is why the chorus of boos for Bubba always bothers me.... Dislike him all you want, but I fear many of those boos are not because of what he does on track like it is with guys like Hamlin/Logano. It's because of the color of his skin. It's just hatred. And it's disgusting.

The #Indy500 should always end at Lap 200, Mile 500. As for red-flagging it, it's questionable with so few laps remaining but I can understand that argument. But never should this race go beyond its scheduled distance. And this is coming from someone who loves GWCs in NASCAR.
