The announcers said that Danica ran out of fuel on the last lap, so it was a certainty he wasn't going to make it all the way.
How come they don't have free re-fuels during cautions in Indy Car? (with the driver retaining position)

LOL! Yes, I can laugh at that. I knew you guys would want the picture. No, I don't have a link but I did see it on FOX News. The picture is real....could probably google for it. :)

A hundred pounds is a huge amount of weight in an Indy car. All one needs to do is measure the difference in speed between a fully fueled car, and a car running low on fuel to see the difference.
That being said, Robbie Gordon is acting like a fool and not helping his team at all. He needs to get over it and do the job he was hired to do.

According to media reports, Danica's crew was telling her to go slower from 226mph to 221 at the end to conserve fuel.
I guess she needed more caution laps...

Awwww ... You're afraid of getting your tail kicked by a girl.

I can't think of any racing organization that gives a free re-fuel like that. Not short track, F1, Nascar, Indy, SCORE off road racing, kart racing, etc. Pit strategy is part of the race

Nothin's free in Indy car.
She took a chance on fuel because it was her only chance to stay out front. She caused a small wreck under yellow and had to pit off sequence. So to make up for it, she had to stay out and take a chance on fuel.

Doesn't NASCAR give a free refuel and tires for a long yellow?

When I ran sprints, midgets & mini sprints, we were always weighed with the car. Are CART & IRL different than USAC, from which both were spawned?

You can pit, but you do not maintain track position. If you are real slow, you may lose a lap.

Indy Car Racing League is where someone weighing less than 100 lbs, no experience (rookie), and runs other million dollar cars off the track, CAN LEAD THE RACE. I'll take NASCAR any day over this.
