One word sums it up: Boring.
They have figured the track out so they all run smoothly (unlike the first few races) and the top drivers do not push hard because everyone is points racing. Follow the leader until about 50 miles to go.
For the first time that I can remember I got up and joined my wife for her annual walk during the race "just to see what's going on" and watching some of the people who were taking smoke breaks was more interesting than the race.
My area in the stands was very empty - maybe about half full and we sit in a very nice area in the shade. That is nice for my physical comfort but not good for the race itself.
John covered the race on the radio and he did a nice job.
