Always liked Milwaukee. It still races good from the old days to today.

 

[Tony_K]

Qualifying was fun but there's this one guy who keeps spoiling the party.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Guess who? Pipped Malukas on the last run of the day, stealing what would’ve been David’s first career pole.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Looks like they’ve opened up all sections of the main frontstretch grandstand for seating tomorrow. Positive sign.

I'm having a good racing weekend.

Yesterday: wingless sprint cars on dirt (Kokomo Speedway)

Today: Firecracker 400 (assuming rain ***** off)

Sunday: Indycar on an oval at Milwaukee (always a treat)

 

[Greg]

Normally, I prefer Nascar racing, but I like the Indy cars best on the Milwaukee mile. The speed difference or rush is just more intense.

Hopefully, Will Power will win, and it helps him to land in a good spot for 2026.

Today: Firecracker 400 (assuming rain ***** off)

I like how you called it that. Nascar broke a tradition but I refuse to.

Nah, nobody will be there since Alex has already locked up the title.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

I’m pulling for anyone aside from that damn Spaniard to win.

Who finishes second to Palou this weekend?

 

[donthaveanickname]

One "Little Dave" has won today already so I'm going with Malukas for the win. It's about time.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Green.

And yellow.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

This series has so many first lap cautions

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Siegel dropped the left side on the painted inside line.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

And Rahal sideways. Sloppy start to this one.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Great to see the stands packed. Milwaukee is here to stay.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

I gotta get out to The Mile one of these days. And Michigan…and Indy…and Chicagoland…

 

[Greg]

Great to see the stands packed. Milwaukee is here to stay.

how is that possibile without a guaranteed game seven?

 

[donthaveanickname]

I had high hopes for this one but Palou is kicking everyone's ass again.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Everyone from 4th on back is at least half a lap behind Palou.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I had high hopes for this one but Palou is kicking everyone's ass again.

Remember when he couldn't run ovals?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Malukas is hosed. 30 second stop.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Well that's it for Dave.

Sweep the track now please.

 

[gnomesayin]

It's wild that Palou is now doing this with regularity to the rest of the series even on ovals. And anyone who might challenge him finds misfortune one way or another.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Sweep the track now please.

Got it.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Newgarden still exists?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Illot cannot.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

I love when a caution comes out under commercial and the reading for said caution isn’t clear and the broadcast takes their sweeeeet time coming back.

I’ve seen enough. Give Fox Sports an Emmy.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

It’s crazy just how lucky Alex Palou is. Every time he’s in the lead, all the drivers who can compete with him have terrible pit stops or some other bad luck.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

Wtf was Armstrong doing

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Armstrong must have upset someone on his team. Hung out to dry. Dumb call.

 

[gnomesayin]

It's great to see a historic oval be back on the schedule, be supported so well, and race pretty well. It does make what has occurred with Iowa even sadder.

 

[donthaveanickname]

For once I was rooting for thr Penske cars to make something happen but they can't.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The heck?

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

Time to waste away 20 laps under caution before they finally throw the red flag.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Rain!
This kinda comes out of nowhere. Usually when there's even a 5% chance of rain, the commentary team spends the entire race talking about it.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Fox missed the pit stops but everyone from fourth on back has new tires.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Old tires still up front
