2023 Gallagher Grand Prix

I hope this weekend is in Milwaukee next year. Pretty redundant event for IndyCar.

I don't know that it even brings extra money to the track. They could probably charge the same for the Saturday ticket if it was only Xfinity. Indeed, they could charge a bit less but make more money, since they wouldn't have to provide on-track and garage services for the open-wheelers.

 

[Doc Austin]

Never mind. Already covered on the Indycar news thread.

I like the idea of a NASCAR/IndyCar weekend but when you’re the C-main in your own house, at an unspectacular layout you already visit once, it doesn’t hit as well as it could.

 

[FLRacingFan]

A Graham Rahal pole is more rare than a Graham Rahal win…RLL lockout the front row with Lundgaard in 2nd.

 

[Doc Austin]

RLR has really stepped it up.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Pre-race on Peacock. Women's golf running long on USA.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Devlin DeFrancesco to the point while the title contenders wreck each other in the back. Sure, makes sense.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Welp.

 

[aunty dive]

4 wide.

Always a good idea.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That was an insane move around the outside by Devlin to go from 5th to 1st in the first corner. Sheesh.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I tuned into and Devlin was leading. I looked three times and still couldn't believe it. On his way back now.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Will we point to this weekend as the one when Palou locked up the title?

Lap 1 and the late cautions at Nashville.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Santino has had a horrendous season outside of the 500.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Did Firestone get the tire sidewalls messed up this week?

This track is so much more polished and smooth than most American road courses/street circuits the reds just last so much longer I think. Indy has been more of a red circuit for several years, maybe just a bit more than usual this weekend.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I'd be happy with an RLL runaway, in either order.

And I hope that Liberty kid and his chicken get pancaked. See if the insurance covers that.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Bad stop for Lundgaard, costly. McLarens coming back into the game on reds now.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Dixon trying to make it on one more stop apparently

I dunno about 25 laps on reds.

 

[FLRacingFan]

If anyone can do it, it’s him. Would be pretty disappointing not to see RLL win this one though.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I dunno about 25 laps on reds.

I think he just did about 25 laps on reds.

Xfinity to start in the rain?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Did the drone just fall out of the sky?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Four lap advantage on fuel for Graham over Dixon, hopefully that means full push.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Graham running him down!

 

[donthaveanickname]

It does. I don't care who wins, I'd love to see both of these two in VL.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Graham running him down!

Not any more.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Two laps in traffic, that hurts.

Guys should’ve gotten out of the way sooner really.

 

[FLRacingFan]

He’s definitely quicker than Dixie in the same conditions. More traffic coming up…

 

[donthaveanickname]

Not any more.

Back on track, this is far from over.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Get the **** out of the way.

 

[Kiante]

C'mon Scott.

 

[FLRacingFan]

IndyCar

 

[Tony_K]

Good race!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Good stuff! RLL definitely has the hardware.

 

[Kiante]

Hell yeah Scott.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Dixon is just insane. There’s always one race where each year where you wonder how the hell he won. Gets wrecked on the first lap, gets way off strategy, wins.

Hell of a battle, that sucks for Graham but what a turnaround from the last time they were in Indy. Good story.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Man that was quite an ending. Dixon just did everything right defending himself. It's still been a fantastic rebound by RLL in the last few months.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Great interview by Rahal.
