105th Indianapolis 500 Race Thread

[DanicaFreak]

Man those cars really disintegrate

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Daly with nowhere to go.

 

[Kiante]

Graham had a loose wheel!

That's the reason why the aeroscreen is here.

 

[FLRacingFan]

He. li. o
or
Hell. i. o ?

The latter is what I usually roll with. But Idk for sure lol

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Graham has had some awful luck in the 500

 

[DanicaFreak]

Fing tire not tight!

 

[donthaveanickname]

Classic commentator's curse for Graham.
Crashed like a minute after they said he was a favorite for the win

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Fing tire not tight!

That was on the pit crew.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

OMG. Loose wheel.

 

[Barbara Charles]

The latter is what I usually roll with. But Idk for sure lol

The "H" is silent.

 

[Pat]

The latter is what I usually roll with. But Idk for sure lol

LOL I'm the opposite

 

[StandOnIt]

You had one job and one wheel nut

 

[Greg]

Dixie back on the lead lap I think.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Tire changer is going to be kicking himself, jeez.

Daly’s bad luck continues but that could’ve been so much worse.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

The monolug aint looking so great right about now

 

[Greg]

Battery powered lug wrench?

 

[Blaze]

just damn... when you got one lug per tire, they are all important.

 

[Reck]

Dixie back on the lead lap I think.

Without a doubt.

 

[2 Sweet]

Where did that wheel land after Daly booted it?

 

[StandOnIt]

Battery powered lug wrench?

I think it broke a pushrod

 

[gnomesayin]

Really glad that wasn't worse and nobody piled in.

Dixon just got his lap back.

Yep, knew it was coming at some point.

 

[REBS31]

Ya picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel...

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Where did that wheel land after Daly booted it?

In the grass on the track side of the fence.

 

[Kiante]

The monolug aint looking so great right about now

Yep, its just as devestating as five lugs.

Get it right or pay the price.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Okay, Dixie lucks out, Rossi doesn't.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Yep, its just as devestating as five lugs.

Get it right or pay the price.

One lug isn’t tight here, you back it into the fence. One lug isn’t tight in NASCAR, you get a monetary fine.

I’ll take the latter.

 

[StandOnIt]

Yep, its just as devestating as five lugs.

Get it right or pay the price.

I'd say more so. A driver can run a few laps with a loose wheel when there are 5 lugs, but not so with one

 

[JBone88]

Figures. Golden Horseshoe Dixon benefits. The chimps in the booth will be insufferable now.

Hate it for Rahal and Daly.

 

[gnomesayin]

So what are the mechanics of why Rossi is still one lap down?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Okay, Dixie lucks out, Rossi doesn't.

as always

 

[Greg]

Really glad that wasn't worse and nobody piled in.



Yep, knew it was coming at some point.

Dixons lap times are strong but it still maybe impossible unless there is a lot of yellow fever. The might be the tightest field ever in terms of speed. It is will be tough to drive through the field from front to back.
He is going to need a long fuel mileage run or a lucky caution, imo

 

[Barbara Charles]

Helio in the lead!! Mow em down, boy.

 

[Kiante]

It's go time.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Smdh if Dixon one-stops from here to a win

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Anybody think Helio is letting Pato break the air?

 

[Nitro Dude]

Battery powered lug wrench?

No they forgot to hook up the air hose. Just kidding.

 

[harkin]

Wonder what left rear dood was thinking as that car pulled away from the box.

 

[Blaze]

Come on Castroneves

 

[JBone88]

Poor Graham. He’ll never get over this one.
