2025 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500

[TexasRaceLady]

Strange happenings at Indy. Weird.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Barely 40% of the way through and I’m a little afraid to see what all else is in store at Indy today. Utter chaos.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Most bizarre 500 on record already and we're not even halfway yet.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Let's add a crash on pit road to this crazy day.

 

[Greg]

At least they could see the flame on Rossi's car. I remember a Rick Mears pit stop years ago with crew members on fire and no one could see the flame to extenguish it.

 

[nickp]

The strangeness continues Veekay crashes and slides right to his pit

 

[donthaveanickname]

That caution isn't ideal for the drivers on the alternate strategy isn't it?

 

[dirtfan]

Were all of the drivers replaced with androids before the race? Just a bizarre day so far

 

[DanicaFreak]

Umm do gearboxes historically grenade here?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Just a wild and zaney race. Polu will probably outlast the craziness and win

This is shaping up for either him or Newgarden. Maybe Sato or Pato.

 

[Greg]

Great race cars etc, but maybe the damp weather caused just enough of an upset condition to create the insainity.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That caution isn't ideal for the drivers on the alternate strategy isn't it?

I think Devlin, Carpenter, and Harvey may stay out here and cycle to the lead.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Sato overshot his box!

 

[DanicaFreak]

@donthaveanickname sorry

 

[Pat]

The craziness continues...

 

[Speedbowl14]

Oh my Lord...

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I don’t remember this much calamity on pit road for a 500

 

[Greg]

If this was Nascar Dixon would have already waved around back to the lead lap.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Sato overshot his box!

Damn. That's gonna cost him a lot and it might be the last we've seen of him today.
A good car in clean air isn't necessarily a good car in traffic.

 

[Hawaii808]

Pit Road claiming victims left and right…

 

[Greg]

Thankfully nobody killed on pit road so far.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is proving to be a really devastating day for a lot of teams and drivers. Just not how anyone wants their day to end.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Newgarden would have been 5th

 

[donthaveanickname]

Hope everyone in Shwartzman's team is OK.

Looked a lot like the 2012 incident.
Shwartzman is out but he's still the biggest surprise of the month. He can leave with his head up high.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Penske Perfect pit stop for Newgarden. You can hear the ‘Jaws’ theme cueing up.

 

[nickp]

3 scary moments in the span of 15 laps

 

[DanicaFreak]

Satos crew member on a stretcher? Omg

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Keep an eye on the sky -- UFOs may land on the frontstretch.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Penske Perfect pit stop for Newgarden. You can hear the ‘Jaws’ theme cueing up.

Someone on here called him Homelander and now it's all I can think of when I see him.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Larson done.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Crap Larson

 

[donthaveanickname]

Down in 17th. Brutal.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

F*ck. F*ck. Off to Charlotte

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Bummer for Larson, he won't be completing all 1,100 miles today.

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

F

 

[FLRacingFan]

Three strikes and you’re out for Larson. Open Test, Fast Friday, Race Day. He just never seemed fully comfortable this month.

 

[rd45usa]

 

[donthaveanickname]

This could've taken out half the field even before Kyle got involved.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Love to see a 3peat Newgarden.
Also would love to see ed carpenter do well.
