First race at Chicago, guy ahead of me got loose, we all ended up 3 wide and there wasn't a lot of room to maneuver, I got spun, exited.
Got into the lead about half way through the race, led all laps until I had to pit for gas, finished 10th. Most guys are taking it easy and not pitting and this is what caused me to lose the race.
Michigan, started 6th with car 12, got up to 5th when I got nudged in turn two, dropped back to 11th, worked my way back up to pass the guy who nudged me, finished 7th. No incidents.

Started 5th with car 3, was running 2nd with about 10 to go when I tagged the wall for a 0x but didn't get too far behind, there were no cautions so we had to pit with about 3 to go, I took 10 gal gas only, no tires, and came in first easily. Win no. 52.

After running several indycar races to get my SR back up, got into my first Las Vegas race, started 2nd after qual and got by the leader in a lap or so and led all until the first crash. Came out of pits 2nd and got freight-trained low to head back to 6th, also scraped the wall but just a 0x, then managed to avoid this big accident with about 27 to go. Restarted 3rd, got back into 2nd quickly, but my tires must have been worn out, eventually ended up 5th, no incidents and got 90 championship points (running car 16).
Some dumbass name of McCullough punched me right out of line with about 3 to go.
Finished 6th with car 9, no incidents. Still hate this worthless track.
