Herta’s got the best race car in traffic.

4 wide and nobody lifted. Spotters fault.

Still alot of intensity where it neednt be.

Almost seems like they’re racing till halfway

 

[Magnethead]

Almost seems like they’re racing till halfway

my thoughts exactly

 

[Magnethead]

Almost seems like they’re racing till halfway

and the anouncers agree apparently

 

[donthaveanickname]

Conor looks racy af.

 

[Magnethead]

Larson making steam, back to the top 10. See how he does on a long run....

 

[nickp]

Colton Herta is honestly madness

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I feel like there’s more blue and orange cars in the field than usual this year

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Three in front of him pitted.

I agree

 

[Magnethead]

Three in front of him pitted.

Well damn, i stand corrected

 

[Magnethead]

Has Larson practiced green flag pit stops? Knowing how it reacts to the limiter and such

 

[FLRacingFan]

Rasmussen is a pretty sneaky +14 so far and has looked pretty aggressive doing so.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

All the Hondas are going to blow up at this rate

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

They might run out of Honda’s at this point

 

[Reck]

2015 Honda vibes. Holy ****

 

[donthaveanickname]

Damn. Third engine failure for Honda and we're only 140 miles in.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Hondamage

 

[Magnethead]

sigh....

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I missed it during the week but who is Helio racing for today ?

 

[FLRacingFan]

All seven DNFs so far - Honda.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I missed it during the week but who is Helio racing for today ?

Meyer Shank Racing

 

[Magnethead]

ok so clearly many will pit. Those who already did...do they stay out or come get fuel only?

 

[Magnethead]

what a mess getting off pit road. I saw wheel to wheel from wall to boxline

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Meyer Shank Racing

Oh thanks! That’s who he won his 4th 500 with

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Cattle prods may be in order.

 

[Magnethead]

NBC DFW just said they'll be cutting into race coverage for Gov. Abbot's speaking from the tornado stuck areas shortly.

 

[Blaze]

Oh thanks! That’s who he won his 4th 500 with

I didn’t call it happening this time sadly for him.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

They’ve been wild on pit road today

 

[Magnethead]

They’ve been wild on pit road today

That was deserved IMO. Definitely unsafe.

 

[nickp]

The Indy 500 really having some fun after F1
-major weather delay
-lap 1 crash
-Honda engine trouble
-rookies getting dogged
-tons of yellow flag conditions
-tons of DNFs

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Restarts Wiiiiiiillllldddd. Whew, takes my breath away

 

[FLRacingFan]

These restarts are as insane as ever. My God.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I didn’t have Sting Ray Robb passing McLaughlin and then leading the Indy 500 on my Indy bingo card

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I didn’t have Sting Ray Robb passing McLaughlin and then leading the Indy 500 on my Indy bingo card

or passing anyone at all.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

@TexasRaceLady , how about a C600 thread? Thanks!

 

[Magnethead]

Is it lap 74 or 174?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m legit shook reading this. Am I still napping before the race?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

@TexasRaceLady , how about a C600 thread? Thanks!

Yeah. I've been fascinated by the 500. LOL
