Dario Franchitti Wins Indy 500, Scary Crash On Final Lap, Outrage On Victory Lap

Dario Franchitti had the dominant car today in the Indy 500. He barely made it to the finish line, low on gas.
There were a bunch of 1 car accidents throughout the race, but the final lap brought one of the scariest crashes you will ever see. Indy is lucky it did not have two fatalities.


Two things seem strange though. You had an Australian, Dan Wheldon, driving the U.S. National Guard car. But more of an outrage to me, on the victory lap in a convertible type pace car, on this Memorial Day, Ashley Judge waved a flag of some sort or it could be a family coat of arms. I'm not sure. But she displayed it as a flag as they were going around the track. Would have been too much to ask if they also had the American flag displayed on the car this Memorial Day?
A picture of the victory lap should be on the 11th picture of the below photo gallery from the Indianapolis Star.
