2022 Music City Grand Prix

[FLRacingFan]

Weather looks like it could be tough this weekend. Hope it stays away and the fans come back for year two, without all of the on-track mess from the first half of last year’s race.

 

[Tony_K]

Looking forward to the changes they made and hopefully we'll have a good race. Last year was a mess but that can sometimes happen with a brand new street circuit.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Interesting lineup, a number of quick drivers got screwed in Q1 group 1 with two red flags, including Herta finding a wall again. Dixon and Ericsson have work to do and Palou, Pato, Newgarden are all bunched together.

 

[Kiante]

Lundgaard is really coming into his own now and so is Malukas.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Kellett made it into Q2

 

[Hotrod]

Love seeing a couple big names buried mid pack to start.
Grosjean may have a good chance at getting his first Indy car win today.

 

[Tony_K]

All set for racing. Raining. Switch over to Nascar. Raining. Gonna be 100 here in Oregon where I live.

When's this thing supposed to start? I got women's golf on my TV and here it is 4:00.

☹

 

[Tony_K]

CNBC and Peacock have Indycar coverage. No racing yet for some unknown reason; just talking with drivers. They say there was lightning an hour and a half ago. Can we move on?

still under lightning delays. they keep getting strikes in the area, so 30- minute clock keeps resetting.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Just remembered I can catch this on Peacock later.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Cars being gridded, drivers to their cars in about 10 minutes.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I should probably watch this in case it finishes before Cup and Dale Jr. spoils it.

 

[JW1]

Oh wow!! Here it is!!

Who's this? Rossi? Oh yeah, big boy!! Try to run me over with your scooter in St. Pete!!?? I got your number hot shot!!

☹☹

 

[JW1]

Uh-oh!! Colton in the pits! Just throw that thing away!! You don't need any nosepiece. Do ya??

 

[gnomesayin]

So much for redemption for Herta here.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Not sure trying to pass Kellett on the outside is the move.

Here’s a caution the guys who already pitted will like.

 

[JW1]

This is Newgarden's hometown. Might give him some incentive. You never know.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Helio doesn’t need to be full-time anymore, I hate to say it.

This should help Palou a lot, no?

 

[FLRacingFan]

May as well just rename this place Crashville. The back part of the track is too damn tight and narrow. Bridge and stadium sections aren’t bad.

 

[JW1]

Look how narrow that turn around is when they head back across the river.

 

[gnomesayin]

Ugh, this isn't the most impressive event for showing off the driving ability in the series.

 

[gnomesayin]

 

[FLRacingFan]

I sure hope this is a big financial success because I don’t see a racing justification for staying here. It sounded pretty cool in theory but so far this racing is off the charts stupid compared to normal street races.

But hey, not my monkeys, not my circus.

 

[JW1]

Darn it! They stopped the broadcast of the race here because there was a shooting in Cincinnati and nine people were shot. The place where they were all shot is drug Haven. So no more race for me after I waited all day to see it. Take care guys.

 

[Doc Austin]

The whole world has gone apesh*t.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is better now. Hopefully like last year where the second half is clean.

McLaughlin looks unbeatable. Will take some time to catch Palou though.

 

[Tony_K]

Poor Rahal.

 

[gnomesayin]

This is better now. Hopefully like last year where the second half is clean.

Yeah, I had hopes too. Oh well.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Guys just be handing Dixon titles. Wtf is Graham doing out there? Wasn’t he just out of the car, interviewed and headed to Tootsie’s???

 

[gnomesayin]

Seemed like an ambitious lunge by Kirkwood.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Seemed like an ambitious lunge by Kirkwood.

He’s been a disaster this year honestly. Should just focus on bringing cars home, Foyt don’t need crash bills every weekend and he already has a job elsewhere next season.

 

[Doc Austin]

Well, NBC went to news, so I got nothin'.

CNBC

 

[gnomesayin]

Finally getting good and redeemable, and then it's Jimmie caution time.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

This course needs to be scrapped. Go to Nashville Superspeedway.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Red flag so we can wreck the 10 cars that are left in a GWC.

 

[JW1]

So what's going on guys? Did somebody win yet?

 

[gnomesayin]

At least they didn't pile it up at the finish. Was hoping McLaughlin could get a real run at him, but Dixon prevails.

 

[JW1]

Dixon won?
