Useless Statistics:
Official Race Time: 3:27:40.82
Average Speed: 143.3942 mph
Slowest Race in Kyoto 500 history.
Green flag flew 14 seconds earlier than planned, mostly due to SC going too fast too early.
First Race in Kyoto 500 history where polesitter took green flag.
First Race in Kyoto 500 history with no Lap 1 Safety Car Deployment.
Highest amount of finishers with 17 cars finishing (63% of starting cars).
Second higest was 2009, with 13 cars finishing (43% of starting cars).
Third highest was 2008, with 8 cars finishing (42% of starting cars).
I'll find some more useless stats later.
I can sense that this was probably the most competitive 500 in history, seemed to me like there were many drivers who were fighting up top at one point or another.
Anyway, I'm glad that I'm done with shouting at oval races for the year.
