THE FIRESTONE FREEDOM 100 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway wouldn’t have been top of most people’s ‘must watch’ lists when it came to this weekend’s sporting action.

However, it produced a four-wide finish with the top four cars separated by just 0.0443 of a second.

And the winner, 27-year old Peter Dempsey from Ashbourne.
