Article says more than 30k are expected on both Saturday and Sunday. Very good if that’s the case. This is a very important event as far it concerns the future of ovals and series-promoted races.

 

[racingfan7]

I was there for ARCA 150 last month and they had a decent crowd for a race that started at 11 PM. I’m hoping a good crowd can maybe bring back the Xfinity Series eventually but god forbid they have more than 1 standalone race.

Great track...but man...driven by it on the I-80 a few times... definition of "middle of nowhere".

Would love to see Cup cars here. That track with these current cars would be an absolute bear

Slick Willy P takes pole for both races, now just one pole within Mario’s all-time record of 67.

 

[FLRacingFan]

With as good as the Lights race was - albeit with a controversial finish - I have a positive feeling about the races this weekend. Today is going to be a scorcher, and tire falloff should be significant.

 

[racingfan7]

Indy Lights race looked good

 

[aunty dive]

Johnson spins from 13th. Doesn’t hit anything.

Johnson spins from 13th. Doesn’t hit anything.

Already back up to 14th with new tires.

Ericsson has been on a tear since the drop of the green.

 

[gnomesayin]

It's hard to understate how much promotion and hospitality Hy-Vee has poured into this event to revive it. Great to see the crowd and support for an oval race. Should be a good pair of races.

 

[donthaveanickname]

How did Sato drop from 9th to 23rd?
Seaaon to forget for him so far.

 

[aunty dive]

New leader.

48 ...

 

[aunty dive]

In my Chad Knaus voice.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I know it's just strategy but it feels awesome to see JJ leading this one.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This is a great race so far, close battles and passing all over the place.

 

[aunty dive]

JJ 5th ... straight up.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I know it's just strategy but it feels awesome to see JJ leading this one.

He has legitimate pace. Not sure how the strategies will cycle out, he’s about 20 laps off-sequence with most others, but he can definitely factor into this.

 

[FLRacingFan]

For so many fast cars at such a bull ring, this is some remarkable head-to-head racing so far. Clean stuff.

 

[Mispeedway15]

He has legitimate pace. Not sure how the strategies will cycle out, he’s about 20 laps off-sequence with most others, but he can definitely factor into this.

Been an entertaining race for sure

 

[donthaveanickname]

Yellow, Rosenqvist in the wall

 

[aunty dive]

He has legitimate pace. Not sure how the strategies will cycle out, he’s about 20 laps off-sequence with most others, but he can definitely factor into this.

Back on sequence ... solid 6th.

 

[Kiante]

So proud of JJ man, he's doing an excellent job navigating traffic.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I kinda don't get why Ed is still doing this.

 

[Kiante]

I kinda don't get why Ed is still doing this.

I've learned to appreciate Ed more as time has gone on, but I think he was another that really benefited from the high downforce configuration.

 

[Kiante]

That was a beautiful pass.

 

[gnomesayin]

Fantastic racing. Making me regret that I didn't go, but I didn't want to have to commute back and forth between this and dirt late models locally. I'll make a point to attend next year.

 

[aunty dive]

Johnson around Veekay on the outside ... right on the edge.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Two IndyCar races, McGraw, Shelton, Florida Georgia Line and more concerts...
Shame Iowa is so far away...

 

[FLRacingFan]

Some should come in and chance it with fresh tires.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Longest tire run of the day - getting squirrely.

 

[aunty dive]

Excellent entertainment.

Off to Pocono.

 

[Jimmy W1]

Awesome win for Newgarden!!

 

[Marcingak]

It was a pretty good race for a race in which only 5 cars finished on the lead lap and the leader won by 6 seconds.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Newgarden is a master at managing lapped traffic, ten more laps and he would've put Power a lap down.

Very good race, hopefully tomorrow is gonna be just like this.

 

[gnomesayin]

The booth is better without Diffey.

 

[FLRacingFan]

A little disappointing no one went off strategy the last run, but damn that was fun. Tons of passing and brutally tough racing conditions. Newgarden just owns this place. Can’t wait for 300 more tomorrow.

 

[FLRacingFan]

The booth is better without Diffey.

I’ve noticed a significant lack of screaming the last two weekends.

 

[racingfan7]

The booth is better without Diffey.

Yeahhh, Diffey likes to yell too much
