[Clutch]

Hoping for Dixon of course.

 

[Hotrod]

Hoping for Dixon of course.

Yea, yea , to add to his 4 championships.

Newgarden for me . Just a fan of 1st timers and new blood. He looked good in practice. Fingers crossed.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Helio. Climb that fence!

 

[FLRacingFan]

 

[Reck]

Helio. Climb that fence!

I'm with that sentiment.

Although I dont remember fences at Sonoma. Is there any? lol

EDIT:

Nevermind, saw plenty from the vid FL posted of Newgarden hot lap.

 

[Reck]

These broadcasters make me sick. Taking turn sucking off Newgarden. MUTE

Get used to it lol.

Wow. That must have been good television.

 

[StandOnIt]

Got a good tight race for the championship..nice

 

[FLRacingFan]

What the hell was that first lap.

 

[StandOnIt]

Got that right..man

 

[StandOnIt]

Castro busted a move and made it work IDK about the rest of them too much dust to see

 

[StandOnIt]

Sato needed a pair of dirt sprint tires

 

[Kiante]

Sucks for Sato.

Penske came to race today.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Jeez. He's fortunate the whole rear end didn't tear apart there.

 

[Kiante]

Is Marco getting the boot after this season?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Is Marco getting the boot after this season?

Nah, he'll probably have that seat until he retires.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hmm. Interesting strategy by the #1 team here. Probably the only way they can leapfrog Newgarden though.

 

[StandOnIt]

Sucks for Sato.

Penske came to race today.

wouldn't have sucked if he would have stayed on the pavement

 

[FLRacingFan]

Boy, I wouldn't want to going rallying in an Indy car. That can't be good for the back.

 

[StandOnIt]

I'd give it an 8, he got decent air, and style points

 

[Kiante]

I know Hinch cannot wait for this season to end.

After his win at Long Beach, he's had a terrible season since.

Needs a consistent teammate to help take some of the load off of his shoulders.

 

[Kiante]

Man, I could only imagine.

I wish they would have kept Enerson, he definitely had the potential to be a great shoe for SPM. I think Harvey would be a great addition to the team, you are right he needs help with the team.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pags almost threw it away...twice.

Good chance Honda helps pick an international star for them it sounds like.

 

[Kiante]

Bourdais needs to hit the gym.

@FLRacingFan we can beef him up a bit, Jesus Christ Seb.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

If Newgarden ends up winning this championship, It would be a pretty good sunday sports wise all the way around for me (United won, Ravens won, and Truex won)

 

[FLRacingFan]

Don't be stupid, guys.

 

[Kiante]

Simon's attitude better not get the best of him.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Come on Josef. 12 more laps

 

[Kiante]

Robin Miller needs a seat in IndyCar's front office.

I mean badly, it would be great to see.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

YES JOSEF !!!!!. Great drive by Simon as well. Penske power !!!!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Great strategy to get Simon the win but it just wasn't enough.

Josef is a superstar in the making. What a season he had, the summer stretch was just incredible.
