105th Indianapolis 500 Race Thread

41 laps on one tank of fuel?

 

[MikeInIllinois]

These forced contrived segments from NBC aren't needed with an event as big as the Indy 500

 

[Kiante]

Sato is in a save mode now.

 

[JBone88]

Come on Sato

 

[Charlie Spencer]

These forced contrived segments from NBC aren't needed with an event as big as the Indy 500

Or any other time.

 

[Hotrod]

I kinda want to see either the youngest to ever win or the oldest to ever win.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Sato has dropped from 7th to 13th, probably saving like hell.

 

[Pat]

no caution, no caution, no caution

Especially with the racing equivalent of a cringy youth pastor.

HEY COOL CATS. PARTYING AT INDY WITH JESUS

I like the idea, especially with RLL's mileage.

Imagine that last lap in 2012 going differently

 

[Kiante]

No Simona...

Dammit.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Pit road is more treacherous than the track.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

It's go time.

NOW it's go time.

 

[Kiante]

NOW it's save mode time.

 

[Nitro Dude]

At this point there is going to be a lot of extra post race interviews or a lot of extra commercials because they are going to have a lot of tv time left to fill.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

They’ve been saving all damn race, send it.

Good. I gotta pee.

Indy Light brakes.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Breathing a sigh of relief these guys came out just ahead of Dixon. Time to go full rich.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Holy hell RHR almost ran into a pit crew.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Spiderman!!!

 

[KTMLew01]

No Simona...

Dammit.

Penske brakes.

 

[gnomesayin]

They definitely need to look at this brakes on pit road issue for next year. Disaster waiting to happen.

 

[KTMLew01]

Lots of guys finding no brakes when they get on pit road.

 

[Blaze]

Man I’m loving this battle!

 

[Reck]

Going to commercials with 20 laps to go. Trash

 

[JBone88]

Palou has the best car. Gonna be tough to hold off Helio though.

Can Sato make it?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Going to commercials with 20 laps to go. Trash

Every break I've seen has been side by side.

 

[Nitro Dude]

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

Edit--I forgot that Al Unser has 4 wins also.

 

[Kiante]

Helio is thinking its the mid-00s again.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Simon is flying

 

[donthaveanickname]

Neon yellow isn't green.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Going to commercials with 20 laps to go. Trash

I think the commercial breaks were scripted on when they'd take them. I figured the one with 20 to go would be the last, unless there's a caution.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Every time Castro takes the lead, Palou overtakes him immediately. If he makes the pass again, it better be out of turn 4.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Neon yellow isn't green.

Chartreuse.

 

[Pat]

Laps are clicking down fast

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is a hell of a charge by Simon. Sneaky good recovery by Ed just slightly back there too.

 

[FLRacingFan]

It’s funny they haven’t at least acknowledged Felix and Takuma attempting an economy run.

Edit: Good timing

 

[JBone88]

Felix in the pits. Sato will follow im sure.
