May as well get this going. All I would like to see is a good, clean race. No carnage.

 

[aunty dive]

Wheel to wheel at 225+ MPH.

Absolutely astounding

 

[Blaze]

Ready for this baby!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Time for 'Back Home'!

 

[donthaveanickname]

Cars are underway.

 

[nickp]

200 laps or 8:15 p.m. is our goal today

 

[Charlie Spencer]

@Speedbowl14, you out there, buddy?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Illot with shifting issues.

 

[FLRacingFan]

200 laps or 8:15 p.m. is our goal today

Should be plenty good without any major stoppages. Let’s go!

 

[Magnethead]

Little early for issues...

 

[donthaveanickname]

We don't do competition cautions in IndyCar, right?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Go Penske and Larson !!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Illot with shifting issues.

Missed the start.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Let's goooooo!!!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Crash in turn 1 at back of field

 

[Efisher131]

Wow didn’t take long

 

[FLRacingFan]

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a lap 1 turn 1 crash. Damn.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Green!! Now yellow

 

[Blaze]

Damn. Didn’t take no time

 

[donthaveanickname]

All that anticipation man....

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Missed the start.

No, apparently made it to the back in time.

 

[Pat]

Holy Moly, didn't expect that!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Nightmare month for Ericsson. Unfortunate luck there.

TomBlom clipped the curb.

 

[Efisher131]

Can’t touch a rumble strip at 200 mph… big mistake

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Rookie mistake getting down too low and clipped the edge.

 

[Magnethead]

Inside edge is not forgiving...

 

[Greg]

Hate to see a contender like Ericsson getting immediately took out like that

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Hate to see a contender like Ericsson getting immediately took out like that

Yeah, that sucks big time.

 

[Blaze]

Not looking good for the 600, both races so far today had a wreck on lap 1

 

[Magnethead]

Can’t touch a rumble strip at 200 mph… big mistake

You can, but you shouldn't.

Harnessing my inner @TexasRaceLady english teacher

 

[Reck]

Not looking good for the 600, both races so far today had a wreck on lap 1

Wait, the 600 is already going?

 

[aunty dive]

Wait, the 600 is already going?

I think he was talking about Monaco.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Wait, the 600 is already going?

He's talking about Monaco

 

[Blaze]

No. The F1 race was also today, and had a wreck on lap 1. I’m saying how the 600 could be the third if it happens

 

[Magnethead]

I was confused for a second too

 

[Reck]

Gotcha

 

[nickp]

Marcus Ericsson’s last two green flag laps at Indianapolis are real gut punches

 

[Efisher131]

Allgaier has never driven a Next-Gen, and Jimmie Johnson is in the field. You could be onto something.

 

[Barbara Charles]

Come on Helio. Drive for five!!!!

 

[Magnethead]

Man, now an engine failure under caution. What is going on??
