Taku-san with the 3 in 1 pass.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

It’s almost Pato time, top 5.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The new and younger fans that IndyCar and NASCAR are trying to attract.

But does it actually made race fans of them? Do they watch races at home with no concerts? Or does it just sell tickets? Nothing wrong with selling tickets but let's quit pretending they get turned into race fans.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I mean if they were fans maybe they would watch the race?

Power stalled exiting his pit stall.

Hey I agree with you. I don’t much understand it myself but yeah.

Fans have been listening to concerts in the snake pit a very long time.

I dunno when I was of that age to go to the Snake Pit..I would have chose grandstands 100 out of 100 times. It’s a Motorsports race! That’s all I needed honestly.

Well more power to em. How long has it been around? I thought within the last 10 or so?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

More CGR lead swapping. Comeon Pato!

I mean...we're all in the top 1% of invested Motorsports fans... we're on RACING FORUMS.COM aren't we?

That is true, when I watch a race....Racing Forums.com is my snake pit.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Herta almost visited the wall again. Whew.

 

[gnomesayin]

I feel like Carpenter is going to lurk around fifth all day and then try to make his moment happen late. Feels like he isn't having to push to be where he is.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Feel bad for Rinus, he really had a good car. He’ll be back.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That road course car ain't cutting it, Colton. Or had you figured that out?

 

[FLRacingFan]

It’s been around a long time, not sure how long, but it was especially rowdy in the 70’s and 80’s. It’s been centered around EDM-themed music for about a decade.

TK too.

Herta is struggling badly, down to 30th.

The 50's.

The Indy 500 is right around the corner. Not including the 100th running in 2016, the Indy 500 attendance has been on the rise from year to year, with

[nickp]

IndyCar should really use the Noon-3PM window to their advantage EVERY week

 

[gnomesayin]

Palou's race just got a lot more difficult.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Chassis that ran the Indy GP are now 30th and 31st. Welp.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Looking more like turn 2 at Darlington.

Well I’m shocked. Thanks for the education, I seriously just thought it’s been around since like 05 or so. I just thought it was like EDM music concert.

 

[Kiante]

Glad Illott is good, but man Palou got f*cked over right there.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Iirc that’s pretty much what happened to Dixon last year. Wow.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Rough break for Palou, it just became a more difficult afternoon for him

 

[Blaze]

Damn sucks for him

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Insult to injury.

 

[Turtle84]

1 mistake and your dream of winning the Indy 500 is over with that quick, I suppose that is part of what makes this race so fascinating to watch and so rewarding if you happen to be the one that wins it.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wow, great stop from the Dreyer & Reinbold guys. Ferrucci suddenly in contention with a one-off team.

 

[Speedbowl14]

I noticed on the replay that the safety crew was already responding to the wrecked car before it even came to a stop (before it even hit the inside walls actually). Kudos to them

 

[gnomesayin]

Is there an additional penalty beyond starting at the back for Palou, or is that the penalty? NBC not doing the best job of spelling it out.

yeah that group is amazing.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Full crowd, the lid’s going to pop off this place for Daly

 

[nickp]

IndyCar restarts are wild

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Some cars will need only three more stops some may need four.

 

[gnomesayin]

Pretty sure Dixon doesn't want to lead, especially now that he's lost his partner.

 

[gnomesayin]

Cool for Conor.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Dixon was just playing with him lol
