[Kiante]

I will be there on Sunday.

Can't wait.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

We'll look for you on TV!!!

Can't wait.

Same. Been a looooong wait.

 

[Kiante]

Same. Been a looooong wait.

No doubt.

Can't wait to go broke buying multiple IndyCar related products.

I promise I paid my rent.

 

[racingfan7]

Weird how IndyCar has practice and qualifying for some of their races while maintaining a field count yet NASCAR can't?

Just something for me to bitch about on the NASCAR end.

WE OUT HERE BABY!

 

[Tony_K]

Looking forward to the best race of the weekend. May the best man win the championship!

WE OUT HERE BABY!

I see you found something to buy.

 

[Kiante]

I see you found something to buy.

A lot.

That's all that needs to be said.

 

[gnomesayin]

Surprisingly good and racey so far.

 

[Kiante]

Conor Daly's car is purely unreal to see in person.

Just gorgeous.

 

[gnomesayin]

I would never, ever actually support a playoffs system in racing. That said, the way Dixon has backed into this championship with one ultra-conservative midpack run after another is possibly the best argument for one.

Consistency.

 

[Kiante]

Power is out.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Just tuned in and saw Power crash. Damn, I feel like he could be right up there with Dixon and Newgarden but he makes too many mistakes.

The A-10 is such a bad ass bird.

 

[Reck]

This had to be the longest yellow ever.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Cawshuns breed cawshuns

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I went to the fridge. Did we get switched to the Truck replay?

 

[FLRacingFan]

It’d be nice if this big gray cloud sitting over the Bay decided to do something

Bro, I'm buzzed.

Are you here? I might need a guide.

 

[Kiante]

No, I'm not driving home like this.

I'm being a responsible adult.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Lmao

Yeah I’m over at Turn 10

 

[gnomesayin]

It's cool to see McLaughlin's enthusiasm.

 

[Kiante]

Lmao

Yeah I’m over at Turn 10

Fam...

What top are you wearing? I need a celebrity picture to take. I'm in front of the Arrow luxury box.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Never seen Marco race like this. Holy cow.

 

[Clutch]

Restarts are very scary for Dixon on this tight course.

 

[gnomesayin]

No, I'm not driving home like this.

I'm being a responsible adult.

Yes, in all seriousness, whatever it takes, make the right call.

 

[Kiante]

Yes, in all seriousness, whatever it takes, make the right call.

I'll be fine, I'm sipping on water now to reel myself back in.

Just went a little crazy. This race has been great though.

Matt Kenseth in 2003.

 

[Reck]

Every race leader crashing or spinning out. At that rate, Newgarden is going to win this race by attrition.

 

[gnomesayin]

Wow. Really shows how treacherous it can be. He wasn't that far off the groove.

As usual, caution in the middle of pit stops wreaks havoc.

PM’d lol

Big game-changer with Rossi. I think they resurfaced those bumps onto that straight a year or two again but it’s still a tricky section.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Man, I was hoping Rossi would be able to finish this season on a high note.
Would be cool if Hinch can win this now.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Never seen Marco race like this. Holy cow.

Marco is trying to catch the #14 or #20 for the final Leaders Circle contract iirc

Leaders circle was where the Top 20 get a million bucks at the end of the season?

I'll be honest, getting Hinch in the 26 has been the best thing going for Andretti this season.

This is coming from someone who rooted for Veach to improve.

Top 22 I believe but yeah. The #98 was 23rd in the entrant points coming into the weekend. Basically worth 15-20% of a budget.
