2022 106th Indianapolis 500 Race Thread

[Kiante]

Reminder why Karam was outed from IndyCar.

 

[FLRacingFan]

It’s a bit of a Twilight zone moment when Scott Dixon is the guy using up the most fuel.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Those flowers in the turn 4 wall, love seeing it when the cars come by there .

 

[nickp]

If I weren’t a race car driver, I think I would be a fighter pilot. I really never had a plan B though - Mario Andretti

 

[Mr. Gregory]

Dixon was just playing with him lol

Back and forth. This stuff is fun to watch.

The news follow-up to the the first Indianapolis 500 held in 1911, as reported by the Chicago Tribune.

Note the car mechanic reference in the last paragraph.

The team Santino is racing for, that was a top IRL team during the split before it reunified? I could swear Sam Hornish raced for them before he signed with Penske.

I don’t see who performed in the Snake Pit?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’ve been to a HyVee...AWESOME grocery store

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Oh no Romain...turn 2 is collecting today.

 

[Speedbowl14]

I also noticed every single safety worker is jogging towards the car. No 250 pound chub walking with a fire extinguisher a minute after the impact

I don't know if it's still the case but at one time, the safety crews were the same every week and traveled with the rest of the circus.

Ganassi kinda wet the bed on pit road. Big Chevy party up front now.

 

[donthaveanickname]

All these guys spinning into the outside wall kinda reminds me of 2018.

They still are, NBC mentioned it during Carb Day practice.

 

[Hotrod]

Turn 2 is the real snake pit today
Those stands need to be on their toes

I think I saw Ericsson get held up exiting his stall, and that shuffled him back.

 

[nickp]

Ferrucci is making hide given his racing style

 

[FLRacingFan]

Things are picking up nicely.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Okay, forget pit strategy. Everyone should be able to make it on two more stops.

 

[Nitro Dude]

Castroneves has moved up to 11th.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wheelbanging at 225

Iirc Dixon needs about 75 laps to become the laps led leader at Indy, over Al Unser. Not far from that now.

Mission accomplished.

Leigh Diffey. Also does IMSA coverage.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Great sequence for McLaren.

 

[gnomesayin]

Now I want to dig in to why the overcut is so effective here. Interesting stuff.

 

[gnomesayin]

Rossi must be watching the McLaren cars at the front and think 2023 can't come soon enough.

 

[Mr. Gregory]

Same thing in the F1 race today. I'm so used to NASCAR, where the opposite is usually the case.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Yikes he's standing but he's hurting for sure

 

[DanicaFreak]

Wicked hit.
Can’t place it but another one of the announcers sounds like Jim Rome .

 

[nickp]

Even though there are a decent amount of commercials, at least they’re side by side

 

[Speedbowl14]

Anyone else notice the...uh...background of hertas interview?
