IndyCar: 2020 REV Group Grand Prix at Road America Doubleheader

[Turtle84]

Dixon double-stall!

Turns out he's human after all

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Come on Felix. Run him down

 

[FLRacingFan]

Not sure I feel comfortable about that tire selection for Pato.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Sorry booth guys but Felix has been back 4+ seconds for several laps. He's not currently picking up .5 per lap.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Let him go, Pato. Nothing to gain.

 

[gnomesayin]

OK, after seeing the wreck again, I'm fine with Daly doing this. Otherwise...

I didn't think Rosenqvist was gaining enough ground, but now he is. O'Ward's wearing red tires could be a problem.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Pato waited way too long to let Daly by

 

[gnomesayin]

Wow! Great wheel to wheel racing.

Why I'm not in the biz.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Blacks were the way to go. Pato just killed his tires.

 

[Reck]

WOW!

Chip still undefeated.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Hell yeah Felix !!! Finally !

 

[FLRacingFan]

So glad for Felix. Hell of a day for Sweden with Marcus in 4th too.

Pato was quick all day, nothing to be ashamed of.

Ferrucci and Power actually managed to make good work of that two-stop strategy after all the yellows at the start.

 

[Turtle84]

Thrilling race man, love to see an extended run down on the leader, wish Pato could have pulled him back in for the finish, but that last 8 laps was something.
Road America races well for them. Good stuff.

NASCAR has their work cut out for them to top that tonight.

 

[gnomesayin]

Why I'm not in the biz.

I thought the same with 8 to go. When the gap jumped from close to 5 seconds to 3.6 quickly, I knew tire degradation was happening.

The interesting question is, if Daly isn't there, is the result different? I doubt it, Rosenqvist caught him with plenty of time left and I don't think Daly cost O'Ward that much time.

 

[Doc Austin]

Hell of a weekend for IndyCar. Can't wait for Iowa!

 

[donthaveanickname]

Hell of a race.
Pato drove a near-perfect one but Rosenqvist pulled a fantastic move.
Also a great run by Ericsson in 4th and a nice rebound for Rossi.
There are two double-points races so the championship is still pretty open.

 

[Turtle84]

 

[gnomesayin]

Power, who I used to view as cool and collected, has been a clown show for much of the past two seasons. He's like the Vettel of IndyCar right now.

 

[Kiante]

Rosenqvist is just a great all-round wheelman. Has won in everything he's driven in on open wheel and closed wheel.

I hope he stays around for a long time in IndyCar, he's certainly got a knack for this series.

Börk gang.

 

[Kiante]

No shortage of bravery or talent.

 

[Doc Austin]

It's always great to see someone new win, and for sure Pato will get one this year too. Not hard to believe Palou will win one either.

 

[gnomesayin]

The Sunday network race did well, the Saturday cable race did an embarrassingly low number. I'm not sure that's really a problem. Cutting the Saturday race wouldn't make the Sunday number bigger. But it does make it seem like the broader audience considers that first race to be more of a B-Main.

Sunday is respectable. Saturday is awful. With two doubleheaders still to come and one of those a Friday/Saturday that’s already bound to be low that doesn’t bode well.
