    IndyCar to hear 2 protests over Sunday's results

    INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two IndyCar teams will get a chance to argue their protests next week, league officials say.

    Newman/Haas Racing and Target Chip Ganassi contend IndyCar vice president Brian Barnhart made the wrong decision Sunday in New Hampshire. Newman/Haas' Oriol Servia passed Ryan Hunter-Reay on a restart near the end of the race. But when Danica Patrick slid sideways, causing a big pileup behind the leaders, the race was red-flagged. Barnhart then decided to revert to the previous starting order. That gave Hunter-Reay the win and left Servia in second.

    Ganassi's team is involved because Team Penske driver Will Power was knocked out in the accident but later was restored to fifth place. Power trails Ganassi driver Dario Franchitti by 47 points. Andretti Autosport, Hunter-Reay's team, also can attend the hearing.

      There was no restart to protest. Watch the replay there is no green flag before the crashing starts.

      We used to have real races in Indianapolis before Tony George start that stupid IRL.
      CART used to be awesome. But like our Congress it's all based in politics and money!
      Tony decided that CART members have to be Indy Car members also or they could not run at IMS...So with that in mind he screwed the teams, fans and the drivers. Same as NASCAR, F1, NFL, NBA and our Glorious Body of Government in Washington DC.

      Who cares - Indy car racing has lost its flavor. So why complain.

      Who the hell cares? There were few fans in the stands. Until that changes debate over a race finish that isn't supported by the fans doesn't really matter. BTW Marty Reid needs to retire -RIGHT NOW-.

      Bat Tony George and ban him from racing. Get some real cars. Enoough with samo out of the box and we pick the winners. Find Champship Autp Racing. No more races at the Speepway,,ever

      There was a time before Indy Car being the governing body when this stuff did not happen. There were two bodies, CART and Indy Car, and CART put on better races, but Indy Car had the backing of the owners of IMS, who would keep others out or make them be members of both series to race at IMS. One more example of change not always being good.

      Barnhart was responsible for that accident. the track was too wet for green flag racing. He should be fired or suspended. IRL is damn lucky someone was not very seriously injured or killed. I understand all the drivers were telling him the track was too wet to race and he his power to make them go and used it very foolishly. If I ever get to Indy I would like to meet him and listen to the reason he endangered so many drivers.

      What caused Danica Patrick to slide sideways causing this huge pile?...

        The same thing that got her a ride in a top team without a win to her name (ever).
        ie: SKILL!

        The track was not completely dry

        It was sprinkling so the track was wet. She didn't adjust accordingly on the restart.
