Holy Crap! What a crowd!!! Way to go Indy!!!!! I'd love to see NASCAR have half as many there.

So are we going with this as the race thread too?

 

[Racer1930]

Do we need a race-thread or just post Here ?

Dale Jr. sounds like he's genuinely having fun in that pace car.

 

[StandOnIt]

they have plenty of cameras, nice

 

[Racer1930]

I LOVE THE SOUND OF THESE ENGINES.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Shame for that rookie

 

[StandOnIt]

there has been a race thread made.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Pretty good start to the race....a bit more intense than expected.

 

[Racer1930]

Shame for that rookie

Yeah - it looks like the Indy 12.5 for him

 

[be9ak7ts16]

sounds like you just want to cry about something like most race fans do these days

And you're doing what?????

 

[DewChaser988]

Badass racing so far

I LOVE THE SOUND OF THESE ENGINES.

Really? I was hoping for an electric car race. Then people like me can enjoy some peace and quiet.

These screens here at the track are messed up and won't give the race positions so they just shut that part of the screen off.

 

[JW1]

Wow!! Graham Rahal was ticked!!

 

[JW1]

Ok. Here we go. 20 laps left. Who you pickin'? I'm rootin' for Rossi.

All the chat is happening in the race thread:

I think Rossi won the race by passing Pagenaud just in time before the crash. I don't see either of the Penske cars getting back around him now.

Then again, I think Carpenter has just been sitting pretty all day, and I don't think we've seen him at full power.

 

[JW1]

Dixon stopping for tires with 18 laps left.

 

[JW1]

Sato has made 8 pit stops today.

Pagenaud wins. How about that!! Good for him.
