Should be fun. I like this 2-day format for something different.

 

[FLRacingFan]

McLaughlin and Newgarden on pole for race 1 and 2, respectively. Palou starting in the midfield in 13th and 10th.

Seems like some good optimism for the racing, probably quite a bit of tire wear at least.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Awfully dominant NXT title run by Louis Foster.

They were really on skates out there at the end of the NXT race. I’m hopeful for a pair of good shows.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That was an ... interesting ... anthem.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

But they told me the fans wouldn’t show up….lets have a good race now

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Santino on a mission.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Pato and Herta leapfrog McL and Lund?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Oops Josef.

 

[gnomesayin]

Pato is building a big lead if it stays green. I'm surprised Herta couldn't pass Mclaughlin on newer tires. This is interesting stuff with the varying strategies. Something tells me there is going to be a random yellow that ruins all that, but I hope not.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Care to show us a replay of Santino passing Will and Colton?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Im not sure I understand Herta’s strategy

 

[gnomesayin]

Im not sure I understand Herta’s strategy

He clearly didn't.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Welp.

 

[gnomesayin]

Oh well, there goes all that.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Oh well that’s not good

 

[donthaveanickname]

I think Ericsson hit him.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I think Ericsson hit him.

Looked like a racing deal to me.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Wow did realize Alex almost got collected there! So Newgarden came down on him it seems?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Looked like a racing deal to me.

I was just alluding to the famous Grosjean quote.

This one is tough to call, I tend to agree it was a racing deal.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Something tells me there is going to be a random yellow that ruins all that

Nailed it.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Santino needs an exorcist. He's possessed by the spirit of a Japanese WW2 pilot.

BANZAI!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Santino no f*cks given

 

[donthaveanickname]

Santino is just incredible to watch.
IndyCar's Mr. Entertainment.

 

[gnomesayin]

Ferrucci is on a tear, I wonder when / if he will push it too hard.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Santino made up 3.5 seconds on Pato in less than 10 laps. Coming like a storm front.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Herta's tire!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Well that’s not a timely caution

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

And Herta’s championship hopes are kaput. His team the last few races have really screwed him with strategy and pit road mishaps

 

[Charlie Spencer]

He was top 5 most of the race.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

C'mon, Ferrucci!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Your weekly Grosjean screw up

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Colton absolutely having a day that just got nuked

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

He was top 5 most of the race.

Until their strategy they put him on that put him out at 8th and lower. Same happened at Portland and then I believe Toronto. Then pit road issues. Sorry I’m spiraling I really was cheering for him to make a go at the championship

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Now I’m cheering for Pato to win to stick it up Mark Miles wahzoo

 

[Charlie Spencer]

C'mon, Ferrucci!

Freefall. What happened?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Hell yeah Pato!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Mark Miles is a clown who is bad at his job. Congrats Pato

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Props to Conor, good for him
