Montoya wins the Pocono 500 with an average speed of 202MPH- the fastest in Indycar history. Bloody awesome.

Is that overall from start to finish, including pit-stops?

Bloody astonishing turn of speed to maintain. It must feel strange slowing down to 100 mph. pit lane speeds must feel like you could get out and crawl faster

Only a single caution in the race.

Not as impressive as CART in the late 90s with 1000bhp on tap; Mo Gugelmim setting a 240mph quali lap (average speed) in Fontana.

During the coverage the commentators were talking about how to draw in the crowds. One of them suggested increasing the power of the engines and I believe a 1000bhp figure was mooted.
