Yes, the engines spend more time off than on.

Somebody was over shooting his pit and braked hard and stacked everyone up

When the red changes to yellow it will help Harv even more

I wonder if Blaney’s rf wheel and tire got hit. Looks like a lot of camber.
That looks bad on TV, but having been in a similar spot at the track before, I doubt he's seriously hurt. Steel toe boots are amazing for exactly that reason. He's lucky the quarter panel caved to make room as his shins got pushed into it. Door would have been completely diff story. Probably some nasty bruising especially on the knee, but doubtful of broken bones.
But i'm just speculating.

They weren't designed for today's Indy cars either. The original cars were much narrower.

A move like that to avoid a wreck is instinct. Easy to blame him in hindsight but in the moment he made the correct move to limit damage to his car.

So who's the idiot who started the chain reaction?

Why don't they tell us who all was involved in the wreck.

McDowell slowed down a lot and everyone behind him checked up.
Can't really be mad at anyone in this situation.

The better question is why are they so stacked up on a yellow flag stop?

Yellow
He should have had the chin strap on. I certainly hope he is OK.Wow. That pit crew member's helmet flew off.
That concerns me that it wasn't strapped...Wow. That pit crew member's helmet flew off.

They’ll need another yellow or two to stretch it all the way.

As you said previously, its instinctual for drivers to try to gain as much time as possible in the pits to gain some possible track position.

I can think of 14 people who think this a rotten development.

I've seen military helmets get knocked off even when the strap was fastened.

I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
I hate that for Justin Allgaier. I was really hoping he would have a good run.

Larry Mac is the only CC commentator that knows what he’s talking about. Letarte seems lost most of the time with strategy which is par for the course for his career.

I wasn’t paying attention. What was that commercial with my birthday at the end?

Steve is befuddled. The #4 crew are unlocking multiple potential positive outcomes. Don’t know why that’s so hard to comprehend. It’s like Pocono or a road course, you can complete a full stop under green and stay on the lead lap especially if you’re pitting from the lead.

Logano with the ghost of Penske riding on his shoulders isn't going to cut Harvick any slack on the restart.

I'm figuring they will all focus on Harvick and his economy run. Max gerbiling
