Tough to pass? Yes. Lots of wrecks? Yeah, sadly. But I also get to hang out of a parking garage and see race cars for free today.

Save me from 12 minutes of video. What ball are they attempting to deal with?

Will Power intentionally drove into the back of Kyle Kirkwood's car and pushed him for like 5 seconds, almost causing a wreck. This was during practice.

Sounds like Will has Talladega dreams.

Power's explanation was breathtaking.

I miss Belle Isle as much as anyone, but I think this circuit is an upgrade for both fans and the general public in a number of ways. But who knows how much longer this particular layout will last with GM moving out of the Ren Cen anyways.

Big run for Lil Dave. Power is still without a contract for next year…

Colton could badly use a win and IndyCar could use a race winner other than Palou. Hoping there won't be too much chaos.

They call him Lunge-gaard for a reason.

I was just thinking, 'I wonder how Herta's day will go wrong today?'

Fantastic rebound by Kirkwood after getting muscled by on the start.

I don't know what that useless gameshow graphic was supposed to tell me about tires but it's the first trademark pointless Fox graphic this season.

Yeah, that was pretty pointless and corny.

Fortunately it’s looking like a 3-stopper today.

McLaughlin stopped and is ahead of Kirkwood.

Messy restart.

And promptly dropkicks Siegel. Whoops.
Charlie Spencer

He ran over Siegal and probably damaged his right front.
EDIT Looks like that's his right rear that caused the caution

First cautions for incidents on the road/street courses since lap 1 at St. Pete. They must’ve been saving them all up.

Trying to make up for the lack of cautions early in the season.
Not Penske's year so far.

Don't know what I thought I was but obviously I was wrong.

I'm not fond of street courses but this route seems to have been selected to feature the less attractive parts of town.

Why is Lundgaard in 22nd?
FLRacingFan

No idea. Broadcast seems a bit overwhelmed with what all’s been happening so far today.

And that should be the end of any remaining 2-stop hopes.

Callum tossing all the remaining strategy in the can. Everyone will pit now.

Ouch looks like Callum lost the front left wheel.

Ilott had a really good run going. PREMA should probably start doing pit stop practice this week…
Charlie Spencer

I don't know why. If he hadn't hit the wall, that wheel would have stayed on through at least turn 3.

Looks like there were a few who gambled on a yellow just before it came out after all. Could this be the day for Foyt Racing?

IMPLICATIONS!!!!

Well, Palou won't win this one, and the yellow will help the front three stretch their fuel. Punted by Malukas.
FLRacingFan
Team Owner
Wow! Looks like the field stacked up behind Armstrong on his lockup and Malukas just tripped over Palou.

Kirkwood is charging in a hurry.

Quick work by Kirkwood. Now will the front wing last the rest of the way?
