[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Real question is how is Pigot in the lead. Huge scoring error

 

[ChexOrWrex]

How about IndyCar throwing the red instead of burning laps under caution? Giving fans the laps they deserve.

 

[StandOnIt]

They had a couple of yellow laps before that, and will have a couple for pit stops afterwards too. I think Simon should be good now.

yeah know, but compared to yellows sitting there doesn't help fuel mileage.

I was thinkin the same thing.

 

[harkin]

Rahal would have passed Bourdais before the turn if he didn’t have to get past freaking Marco first.

Why is he out there?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

“At these speeds thats how you kill someone”

Well you signed up to race IndyCar. Theres always slower cars to race.

 

[machinistman3]

Tighten them belts one more time boys!! Lol
This should be a wild finish!! I love this race.

Marco should never be this bad at the Speedway. Something has to be wrong with the car somewhere, there's no reason he should be five laps down without a bunch of problems.

 

[JBone88]

So what are we doing? Feels like we’ve been sitting on pit road for 30 minutes. They are milking the **** out of this.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Just saw that Packer legend Bart Starr passed away this morning.

 

[Kiante]

Marco should never be this bad at the Speedway. Something has to be wrong with the car somewhere, there's no reason he should be five laps down without a bunch of problems.

He should have retired though. He's not even in the 210 area speed wise, he should have been black flagged for not meeting a minimum speed.

 

[Blaze]

Hoping this is shaping up for a great finish.

Better than running 15 laps under yellow.

I’m not questioning something being wrong, I’m questioning why a car with no chance and running unsafe slow is out there to primarily be a rolling obstacle.

 

[JBone88]

Agreed. But I was hoping IndyCar was slightly more proficient in cleaning up after an accident than NASCAR.

 

[Turtle84]

Pagenaud still worried about gas like a raised F-250 on it's way to Vegas.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Hate to see Rossi lose this race but I do have a soft spot for Newgarden.

Carbon fiber is a tough clean. When it disintergrates, it shreds badly and requires more time for cleanup.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

They really should wave the backmarkers out of the way and let the leaders restart behind the pace car.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Ready to see Sato pull a dive-bomb here

 

[Kiante]

He should have pitted, no way he makes it to the end.

Wave around is coming after the pit cycle I think.

 

[gnomesayin]

I think Rossi won the race by completing the pass just before the crash. Don't see how Pagenaud can get back around him now unless something weird happens on the restart. Then again, I think Carpenter hasn't shown his full strength all day.

It’s like looking for new ways to wreck it up.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Ok holy fk these pace laps. Come oooooonnn

 

[Blaze]

IT'S GO TIME!

 

[Hotrod]

Hate to see Rossi lose this race but I do have a soft spot for Newgarden.

I have always been partial to first time winners who ever they may be.

 

[Ventisca]

Turning up the engine tune (???)

sounds good to me

 

[machinistman3]

Cmon enough caution laps. 4 stinking laps

 

[JBone88]

Apparently there’s still debris on the track. Jesus H...

The **** was the point of a 30 minute red flag.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Kyle Novak is such a bad race director. Second year in and he's still doing the same crap.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Good, the cars at the back are pitting. The way is now clear for the leaders.

 

[harkin]

Every lap under yellow cleanup is an insult.

 

[machinistman3]

Wow this is as bad as NASCAR!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

How about IndyCar throwing the red instead of burning laps under caution? Giving fans the laps they deserve.

I take it all back

 

[FearThe4]

Nascar would had thrown the red not waste all these laps under yellow.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

C'mon already, the track is clear...…………..

 

[Ventisca]

Wow this is as bad as NASCAR!

Yup, the grass is not greener...

 

[Racer1930]

Indy has a history there - in the past they didn't officially declare the winner until the next day

 

[gnomesayin]

No, it's not a good call from IndyCar to delay longer. I'm totally in support of taking all the time needed to clean up the track properly. If they need to change the rules to send lapped cars to the back, do that. You don't engineer races on the fly like that.
