I was afraid they would throw a competition caution every 35 laps. Glad to see this is not the case.

Kind of good to see you can't learn speedway racing within a day.
It'll be interesting to see what v. Kalmthout can do on the road courses. I never really heard of this guy before.

I would love to see Daly in some good equipment full-time

Road course driver for sure. I think he’s only done five or six oval races.

Veach needs some consistency. I really think he could grow into a good driver, I'd like to see him compete at a higher level more often.

I think this was Palou's first oval race ever.
Kiante
Team Owner
He's going to be a firecracker at the road courses. Ovals are a different beast and will take a couple of years for him to get it down.
To think he's only 19 is pretty crazy.

This is a make or break year for him IMO. So far he is off to a good start

Big year for him. I believe he’s in the last season of a three-year deal. Really nice kid.

He was doing pretty well too. Honestly it takes a lot of stones for these European guys to come over here with barely, if any, oval experience and debut at Texas of all places. And they’ve been raving about the opportunity all offseason.

The aeroscreen is more aesthetic than the halo, IMO.

Agreed, if Group 1001 continues to back him will make a difference. It seems like Gainbridge (Group 1001 company) is heavily invested in IndyCar at this point.

If Rinus starts competing for wins/championships one day, there will be a couple thousand crazy Dutch fans at every race.
He actually never raced in a European development series which is quite interesting.

Goodness Dixon.

Dixon is ridiculous. Not even Rossi could make it stick on the outside earlier.

This is not a good race lol

This track is FUBAR at this point.
Gossage and his track engineers missed the mark here. This race was always on my races to watch because of the multiple lanes it had for IndyCar.
A Whole Foods market commercial for an IndyCar race? I've seen it all.

Sadly this track is under contract for several more years.
Fontana or Michigan would be better options for IndyCar. And Pocono should come back.

Dixon is so much faster than anyone else. You have to be a lot better than the guy in front to make a pass. The racing is ho hum and the track sucks and is too narrow. I'd still rather they be a bit spread out than stuck together.

Not really.
Pocono is death certain for someone in an indycar. Something always ends up happening there with these guys.

Texas is looking like the Hungarioring of IndyCar ovals.

I gotta give it up to that Geico Ratt commercial, makes me laugh every time no matter how lame.

F1 isn't dropping Spa either andd we saw a lot of scary crashes there even before the Anthoine Hubert tragedy.

I’m convinced I’m in the twilight zone with Veach running 5th and a A.J. Foyt car with Kimball behind the wheel running 4th

Newgarden is out to lunch.

I firmly believe this is the worst 1.5-mile oval anywhere right now. Chicagoland, Vegas, Charlotte, Kentucky, Atlanta, Kansas, Homestead...might be forgetting some, but I’d wager they’d all be much more raceable than this. These cars produce more dirty air with the UAK18 even before the aeroscreen than the previous two aero kits did, but the vast majority of the truck is utterly useless. Unfortunately Gossage is the one promoter who’ll pay for an IndyCar race.

How about not putting it down in the first place?

Kimball!

Kimball is about to get a lifetime contract with Foyt Enterprises if he gets a podium.

The lifetime of Foyt Enterprises might not continue for much longer. (I hope the team will stick around, though.)

It actually worked out this year because Daly is doing the road courses in Ed’s car and then the ovals in Carlin’s #59.
Kiante
Team Owner
It would probably stretch his already thin resources to the max if he ran a third car.
Losing Fuzzys was huge for his team.

Nothing makes me happier then see Ferrucci have problems

Nah, I'd hate to see Coyne lose its sponsors it worked hard for.
They are going to struggle a bit without Bourdais leading the charge now.
