Indy 500 voted hands down better racing than NASCAR

Weighing in on whether the Indianapolis 500 or NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 was the better race on Sunday, ESPN.com's Terry Blount wrote, "The Indy 500 wasn't just the best race of the day. It was the best race of the year, anywhere, and easily the best Indy 500 overall in more than a decade." ESPN.com's Ed Hinton: "Any fan out there who watched both races knows it was Indy by a landslide." Hinton added with a record 35 lead changes among 10 drivers, IndyCar "should have NASCAR hearing footsteps in the competitive racing department." ESPN.com's David Newton wrote, "The finish alone made the Indy 500 better. What every spectator wants is a great finish, two cars battling for the win, driving on edge to reach the checkered flag. That's what Takuma Sato provided when he dove inside for the lead on Dario Franchitti, taking out himself and almost the race winner" ESPN.com
