IndyCar: 2020 Bommarito Automotive Group 500

[Reck]

Well that's not how he would get his first win ideally.

Looks like it's light rain so he might have to stave off Dixon here.

 

[Reck]

he might have to stave off Dixon here.

Oh whee. That's job one done.

Good job by the O'Ward crew there.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Yeah he’s gonna have to fend off the whole CGR armada it looks like.

 

[Kiante]

Felix got a handful right there.

Good save.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Great run for Marcus today

 

[Reck]

Damn they let Dixon hang around up front for too long. Game over now.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Little slow on O’Ward’s stop there

 

[FLRacingFan]

I'm so tired of this, man.

 

[Reck]

I'm so tired of this, man.

EXPIRED! EXPIRED! EXPIRED!

 

[gnomesayin]

Penske strategy was odd, if there even was one.

Getting the tire combo right and improving tire wear would be the key to a better race here that was about something other than pit strategy and execution. I would love to be shocked and find out that Pato can do something with Dixon on track, but come on.

 

[Mispeedway15]

I think IndyCar has better racing than NASCAR.
They always get strung out with little to no passing 10 laps into the run in Cup.

Love the racing but the sanctioning body in NASCAR is miles ahead of Indy. Stages are gimmicky but choose cones, reshuffling on a caution, GWC, and double file restarts are terrific rules

 

[gnomesayin]

Sato coming out that well is a surprise, huh.

 

[StandOnIt]

looked like O'ward had to slow down a bit to clean up his shorts

 

[FLRacingFan]

No attack, no chance.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Sato is a baller!

IndyCar is gaining popularity while NASCAR is losing popularity. I guess the gimmicks are at least part of that.

 

[Reck]

Sato might get Dixon again.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This is why Sato is my favorite.
He'd be leading now with a better pit stop.

 

[Reck]

Power might have saved Dixon here. Sato really lost so much time there.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I’ll stan Santucci for one week if he helps Sato win.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Sato would have had him another lap or two

 

[Mispeedway15]

Wow one more lap and it’s his

 

[Reck]

Interesting. Dixon's team was in engine conservation mode.

 

[donthaveanickname]

50 wins is an incredible accomplishment.
Sato almost got it done. He's on the pole tomorrow so he'll certainly have another shot.

 

[Kiante]

McLaren and slow pit-stops.

What a legendary combo.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Well, might as well engrave Dixon's championship trophy now and have it ready.

 

[Doc Austin]

Sounds like everyone is in post Indy depression. This race was actually pretty good, but the 500 was go good anything else is a let down.

Dixon was just in stalking mode the whole race. He waited until the race came back to him and then he just grabbed it by the throat.

It's going to be good fun with Sato on pole tomorrow.

 

[gnomesayin]

IndyCar is gaining popularity while NASCAR is losing popularity. I guess the gimmicks are at least part of that.

It's not even that, which is debatable. Everything doesn't have to be a juiced up racetainment show. Open wheel formula cars aren't suitable to provide that. NASCAR is all over television and it's good racing. If you can't tune in to an IndyCar race and find anything to say other than how much better NASCAR is, maybe you're not the target audience.

 

[Reck]

Who's ready for another Dixon win, boys?

 

[Doc Austin]

I'm ready to see Dixon and Sato fight it out wheel to wheel.

However, with the way Oward is running, he's got to break through sooner or later and today could be it.

 

[FLRacingFan]

lol

 

[donthaveanickname]

Start delayed because a service vehicle lost oil, LMAO.

 

[Reck]

Start delayed because a service vehicle lost oil, LMAO.

There were like 100 cars on the track at once so no shock there.

 

[Brentford]

Dang, how much oil was lost? This is taking a long time.

 

[donthaveanickname]

A command consists of 4 words, not 4,000

 

[Reck]

Whata terrible way to start a race.

 

[FLRacingFan]

You know something is bad when you get passed by Marco. Simon is struggling hard.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Ferrucci is pretty good at passing several cars at once.

 

[Brentford]

Why doesn't NASCAR always do side-by-side like Indy does? Does Indy have a better relationship with NBC than NASCAR does?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Is there still some sort of award or bonus for the driver who scores the most points on ovals?
