Race thread: 102nd Indy 500

[Kiante]

I'm triggered af right now.

 

[LJ7201]

Ouch. Shame to see her racing career end like this, I wanted her to get a solid and in-one-piece finish.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Theres more people at that concert than will be at the Coke 600

 

[StandOnIt]

that is what tons of downforce does, it works until it doesn't, there isn't a gradual warning line.

At least it wasn't a big nasty exit. She won't be the last to do it.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

even TV commentators giving her the “its the car” excuse already

 

[Spotter22]

Danica has what all top 10's in her Indy 500's except for 2? The narrative doesnt fit

I know, this surprised me as there have been over 100 indy car races snice her last indy car crash

She spun out, Big deal. Happens to everyone

 

[Matthew2470]

Danica had six top 10's in eight starts and a career-best third (in 2009) in the Indy 500. She's more than proven herself at Indy and comments inferring that her wreck today was in any way "typical" of how she runs at Indy are straight up ignorant.

 

[kkfan91]

When did IndyCar start having wavearounds

Welcome back.

it almost never has, I don't know how they can say some of this stuff with a straight face. I know I can't at home.

Field Camera chasing mom.....cmon ABC.

I believe you are correct. Only other DNF here was when Briscoe mugged her in the pits.

 

[ReturnTrip]

This race needs more Alonso.

 

[harkin]

She had both left tires of a loose car on the white stripe...I’m no race driver but I wouldn’t do that.

Breathe a few deep breaths...she is just like the red headed step child we all liked to make fun of. Deep down we really love her...just like the crispy colonel.

Pesky facts am I right?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Hope Jones turns out OK.

Ha! Well it's the last time I will get to defend her from the ignorance of some the mouth breathers who live to hate her so it felt good to do so.

 

[KTMLew01]

Alternative? Whatever that is?

 

[Kiante]

Anything but Carpenter winning.

 

[FLRacingFan]

RHR looks to be the first Honda today that can hang with the best of the Chevys.

 

[Kiante]

This gentlemen racer **** has to stop.

 

[DIDIT]

Anything but Carpenter winning.

Why, cause of his family?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This gentlemen racer sh!t has to stop.

To finish first, first you must finish. Long way to go.

 

[Nitro Dude]

that is what tons of downforce does, it works until it doesn't, there isn't a gradual warning line.

I'm not able to watch the race but I have 2 guys texting me details of it and they both said she was really loose and didn't have much downforce.

 

[Kiante]

Why, cause of his family?

He's an a**hole and a terrible racer for the most part. He's good on ovals, but I remember the days where he was three-four seconds off the pace.

Got to meet him a couple of times and I was not impressed by his personality.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Pretty much describes everyone today. Unstable cars on a slick hot track with worn tires.

 

[Barbara Charles]

Helio up to fourth. My boy.

 

[Kiante]

Its going to get someone killed, I don't mind Howard or Davison, but this slowing down in the middle of corners like they are will get someone hurt. Not to mention still being in the racing line doing it.

 

[Racer1930]

Cheever made a DW-esque comment there..."Kanaan's team is 100% behind Tony Kanaan" LOL

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

He's an ******* and a terrible racer for the most part. He's good on ovals, but I remember the days where he was three-four seconds off the pace.

Got to meet him a couple of times and I was not impressed by his personality.

There is a reason he only runs the ovals. He sucks, he never had top ten points finish even when he ran full-time

John Madden

 

[Spotter22]

She was. She entered with the lefts on the paint and it snapped around.

 

[Blaze]

Helio up to fourth. My boy.

If he wins, does that make Austin Dillon the pick to win tonight? I hope you understand why I said that.

 

[Kiante]

John Madden

I loved Madden's commentary tho.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Full screen interview in middle of green flag run, thats what we want to watch.

Solid interview though.

Heartbreak for Kanaan.

 

[Blaze]

Thank you Danica!
