Only because his team knew their math. And, from what I read, most people left disappointed in that race's outcome or ever heard of this American.
I know it's your nature to be deliberately contrary about everything, but as usual, your assumptions are wrong. It wasn't really about math. Rossi's team gambled. Pit and finish maybe 7th or 9th or stay out and maybe, just maybe squeak out a win. It was as much luck as skill. Rossi was out of fuel in 2, long before he crossed the finish line. It was a desperate all-or-nothing shot and it was fabulous, the kind of move that wouldn't be tried anywhere else and producing a finish I doubt anyone predicted. I found it personally satisfying enough that I wasn't too upset Newgarden didn't win.
As for fan reaction, why don't you share what you are reading? Come on, lets see it. I saw the crowd. They were thrilled133.
