They’re running another high line session that seemingly worked at Texas. Only problem is it looks like there’s a decent chance of rain on race day that could wash it all away.

 

[racingfan7]

June was cool but that track gets HOT.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pole #67 for Power, tying Mario’s all-time record.

 

[dirtfan]

Trying to decide if I want to make the 3 hour drive north for this, or go 4 hours south to Batesville for the Topless 100.

 

[*WEAVER*]

I like both, but I think the Indycar race at Gateway would be fun to go to. Plus it's Gateway, it has a chance to get pretty wild.

 

[racingfan7]

Gateway is way better under the lights, but the weather looks pretty bad so I think it will be a day race.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Green flag has been moved up about half an hour. Forecast looks better than it did yesterday.

 

[FLRacingFan]

It rained earlier but they got the Lights race in afterwards it seems. Hope it didn’t wash too much rubber away.

First time I've ever seen Devlin in the Top 10. Heck he seems to be outside of the Top 20 most of the time.

 

[Kiante]

The high line is working.

Yes.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Rosie on a rail.

 

[FLRacingFan]

26th to 13th?? Wth.

 

[Kiante]

Man, I really want to see ECR more competitive on ovals outside of Indy.

Conor and Rinus should be quicker here for sure.

Ed is fully washed I think.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Idk if this is a popular opinion but I think IndyCar should consider bringing back the rear-wheel covers for oval races.

Yeah idk either but I’ve been thinking about that for a while. Especially at Indy.

Too much economy run talk for my liking too.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Pato really botched that attempted pass.

 

[Kiante]

Pato... Holy guacamole dude.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Really sketchy, huge save Pato. Tough luck because he had been making progress.

Aero wash is a sonuva.

 

[Kiante]

Good lord.

At least Rossi has won a race this year.

 

[racingfan7]

I miss Hornish in this series, along with a few others tbh. These newer drivers are…. different.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I’ll hold off on endorsing Andretti F1 until their IndyCar team can have one fully clean weekend. Then maybe we can talk.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

24 minutes later, Pato finally pulls it off.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pato is making this race so far.

 

[Kiante]

Thanks Jack.

I’d say the driver quality and depth is mostly as good as it’s been in a long time. Some wankers at the back for sure but what are you gonna do, some pay drivers will always be around.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Classic racertainment yella.

When Hornish had competition, he evaporated really quickly.

Yeah and it’s disappointing seeing Rahal, Johnson, Carpenter just struggle along with Andretti Racing. I get a little tired of Penske & Ganassi.

Although Graham is running ok today .

A lot of old stats need to be viewed within a certain context. Both sides of the split developed some stats that look goofy in retrospect.

Look at Tony Stewart’s championship IRL season and you’d probably value it less than an SRX title.

Hopefully Graham and Rossi both have better seasons next year.

I think Jimmie should maybe stick to ovals next year. Maybe CGR find a driver with some money to split the 48 with the road courses.

 

[donthaveanickname]

51 needs to get back by the 2 and 3 now, right?

Have to say the same for the likes of Bourdais in Champ Car for that run if we say that as well.

Biggest team with the most funding out there and it showed.

For sure. Those late stage Champ Car fields were eeeesh.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

They are so desperate for rain.

Looks like he, McLaughlin and Newgarden are all on the same strategy together, yeah.

TV is.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Well, only if he wants to win.
