105th Indianapolis 500 Race Thread

[2 Sweet]

Wow, NBC really has a hard on for "points as they run" and apparently it's not just limited to NASCAR

 

[JBone88]

Smdh if Dixon one-stops from here to a win

Barf.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

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

Two words; the first one is "OH, "

"Now where's that unemployment office?"

Wanna get away?

 

[Nitro Dude]

You had one job and one wheel nut

I would like to see it again in slow motion to determine exactly what happened. Did they have a problem with the impact or did the spotter send him before he should have?

They can’t help themselves. Let the drama of the moment play out. It’s the ****** Indianapolis 500. With about 57 different strategies going on.

And they wanna focus on SCOTT DIXON MIGHT LOSE THE POINTS LEAD

 

[Reck]

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

Could be worse. You could be Hildebrand.

Could be they dropped the car too fast too

So what’s everyone’s opinion of a Castroneves win? I always root for the underdog so for me, him winning a fourth 500 would be impressive but displeasing.

 

[gnomesayin]

Interesting to see where Newgarden cycles out with his undercut.

 

[donthaveanickname]

No front wing change for Daly?

I'd eat it up with a ladle.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Very impressive considering I didn’t think it would happen again for him. Kind of like Phil last week at the PGA

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Wouldn’t count out Montoya. He has slowly been moving up all day

 

[gnomesayin]

He's hardly a favorite at this point. It would be quite a story. He's not at the top of my list, but it would be quite something this late in his career.

It would be a neat storyline. Not opposed to seeing him take Meyer Shank to victory lane. But TBF I wouldn’t be rooting for Helio if he was still driving for Penske. So I’d prefer someone else win.

Foyt/Mears/Al Unser is a hell of a fraternity to join. It’s been long enough since the last four-time winner that’d it’d be cool to see.

Be interesting to see 2002 conspiracy theorists pop back up though.

 

[Kiante]

Not a month for Power to remember.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Had to tune out for a bit, how did Dixon and Rossi manage to get back on the road lap except Rossi is still back in 31st? Lol

 

[JBone88]

If Dixon one stops and steals this I might jump off a roof

 

[Pat]

Will Power down?

 

[Reck]

Dixon 6th.

I’ll take that as a win.

 

[Hotrod]

ALMS style.

Prediction: Dixon will make his way up to the top 10 with 50 to go.

I was close , he is 7th with 47 to go.

 

[gnomesayin]

I admire race control's desire to not throw cautions unless absolutely necessary, but it makes me nervous sometimes. Glad that Power situation didn't upend the race again.

 

[Kiante]

Power lost brakes, too.

 

[Nitro Dude]

That would put him in a pretty good position to take the win records away from AJ and Rick.

 

[Old Kid]

Not a month for Power to remember.

Definitely not his year.

 

[Barbara Charles]

This is great, edge-of-seat racing.

 

[Pat]

Woot Scott Dixon!

Rosenqvist and Fittipaldi are at least on the same fuel lap, but it’s concerning. Dixon has fallen far back from them so I think he’s ultra conservative.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Sato might be able to do something with fuel mileage.

 

[JBone88]

Not a month for Power to remember.

He’s never had good fortune at Indy. Outside of stinking up the show in 2018, his record here is dismal.

 

[Kiante]

Me seeing Dixon in the lead:

79 laps on two fuel loads? That doesn't seem possible. I think it's more likely that they are trying to stretch this one as long as possible in bipes of a caution.

 

[JBone88]

Just what I was missing. Rut Wood. Thanks NBC!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Looks like a weak-ass party Rut

Well **** me. Ugh. Never mind.
