Looked like there would be weather on Saturday earlier in the week, should be clear now. I’ve come to enjoy this one as an opener for the 500 festivities.

I was never crazy about the Indianapolis Road Course, but it's become part of May tradition, so I am learning to like it. It gives us another week at the speedway we would have not had otherwise.

Championship leader Herta didn’t have enough fuel to complete his final Q1 run and was stranded on track, will start 24th. Tough.

Not favorable as it's pretty tough to pass, at times.

Felix has been top ten in Q every race this season. He and the team are coming together, and I expect Felix could be a good dark horse for the 500.

Crazy flip in one of the USF 2000 series races on the final lap for the win!

Most of the 20 races IndyCar did at the road course in the last five years were pretty enjoyable. This race has developed into more than just an excuse not to watch the ESC.

Very big crowd on hand. Of course, absolutely perfect weather helps!

Can’t wait to be there in a few weeks. I have a few connections with RLL so we typically are with their tent on Carb Day, then at the team dinner the night before before sitting in the suites at pit road exit for the race

3 hours, 2.5 miles, and 34 bird species to start the day, then mowed the back yard. 70F out here on the deck and ready for the month of May!

6 laps in and Grosjean is already mad.
Things never change.

Ferrucci ran him straight off track. Surprised that one wasn’t a penalty tbh.

That’s some incredible race craft from Herta.

Race needs some excitement. Where you at Santino? Do you

All the hype over the Lundgaard/Power battle for the effective lead, as Palou lurks the whole stint and then overcuts both of them. Lol

Technically that was for position at the time, Ericsson was one stop out of sequence from Power. Just unfortunate timing with the pit exit blend.
But, again, I don’t think you’re gonna see anyone cutting Penskes any slack anytime soon.

Oh I wasn’t cheering for Powers at all. Don’t need them to win any time soon. Lol
I was making a reference to the old YouTube videos about the NASCAR lappers screwing the leaders.

I was hoping he'd improve somewhat now that he's no longer in an RWR part-owned car but no.

**** like that is why Lundgaard is eventually going to find himself at Penske.

Herta has been entertaining today. +17 with only one yellow.

Palou and this CGR team are just in that mode.

Palou is the best driver in the series and more than capable of being in F1 if the teams there had any interest in fielding more than a grand total of six good drivers. It is crazy that that window has already closed for him.
Anyways, pretty decent race. Was hoping Armstrong would nab Dixon at the end but that’s a career-best finish either way. Good recovery drives from Herta and Rosenqvist, and if Lundgaard winds up with a big team next year he’s gonna be a problem.

After Spa, this one didn'tt excite me too much.
