I expect Rossi to come out swinging like crazy this weekend. He's hungry and angry to makeup for Indy.

In other words, just Rossi being Rossi?

Fair chance of rain factoring into both the IndyCar and IMSA races today.

Unfortunately under delay due to severe weather. I didn't mind rewatching the end of the 500 again though.
Something about Belle Isle twice instead of Michigan doesn't do for it for me. Hopefully a good weekend.

Sounds like cars to the grid.
Timed race... Do what you gotta do to be on NBC I guess

75-minute race. Blah. Not sure if it's because NBC has to go to local news and doesn't want to finish on NBCSN, because it's on public grounds and there's a curfew, or what.
Hopefully they pack a lot of action into that window.

I hope we get as much chopper coverage as we got toward the end of the IMSA rsce.

So glad I'm not in the stands thinking I should have gone home after the IMSA race.

Worst surface on the schedule and then throw rain on it. Good lord.

Not sure what looks slower - WoO at Nashville or IndyCar in the rain at Detroit.

Marco working for a living!!
That's some entertaining stuff with Andretti, nothing better than having to wheel it..

I'm definitely predisposed to favor WoO, but there is more here to appreciate. They are smart to stick with the in-car views to show the challenge and how on edge the cars are. The Nashville parade last night during the main was just keep it planted in the rubber along the bottom.

If Marco can only get two career wins at least he also gave us one of the most treacherous onboards ever.
The WoO race might have been okay if the banking wasn't non-existent

Great move by Bryan Herta. He and Marco earned that one.
FLRacingFan

Wow. Very rarely do you see Penske screw up that badly. Ouch.
What's the point of Andretti pitting if they have to come back for fuel
FLRacingFan
Team Owner
Not sure I understand that one.
Good racing so far, Belle Isle usually is very strung out
FLRacingFan
Team Owner
Ha. Guess he's not invincible after all.

If they have to go to CNBC anyways I don't know why they don't add more distance or time.

There must be an important Shark Tank rerun to get to. I don't know. The MX races were on the schedule for NBCSN this afternoon but the Stanley Cup schedule must have changed and takes prescendece over that, understood. I'm glad I'm watching via the NBC Sports app and don't have to figure all of this out.

So Newgarden didn't get his tank filled. Penske must be hungover from the 500 still.

Getting to watch the rest of this race.

Not sure the future of IndyCar have gone head-to-head like this yet. Good stuff.

I may notice that DAZN has swapped commentators.
The guy they have in the studio today is providing some good Information.

Pretty good finish. Points are shaping up to be interesting. Another strong finish for Sato. Rossi getting more frustrated. Frustrated doesn't even begin to describe it for Power and he sounds like he is trying to talk himself off a ledge.

I hope Sato can make a run at the championship this season. His craziness has kept him from coming close to a championship so far.
Already looking forward to tomorrow's race (likely gonna watch it on Monday, though) and of course the K&N race at Memphis tonight.
And I still gotta watch the second half of the Coke 600, gonna be a long night today.

Pretty good racing when there was racing, just a little too much yellow flag shenanigans. Wish they could've run longer for sure. At least tomorrow looks to be a sunny, dry race.
Rossi has to be peeved with watching his Penske opportunity evaporate (unless they do something crazy and bring back a fourth car) while continuing to lose to them.

Maybe that's kinda old school, but I hope Rossi stays with Andretti (and NAPA) for the next 15-20 years.
Would be cool to see a driver spend his whole career with the same team and sponsor. Unfortunately that barely happens.
