I remember listening on the radio to Jim Clark winning with the Wood Brothers pit crew.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I remember watching Al Jr's and Michael Andretti's Father's race

I started watching the tale end of Mario Andretti around maybe 93 but I remember Nigel Mansell coming here from F1 and kicking behinds. So maybe early 90’s. I don’t remember AJ much aside from the 94 Brickyard. I do remember Little Al, Michael Andretti and Bobby Rahal. If someone asked me my all time favorite it’d be 3 way tie between Juan Montoya, Alex Zanardi and Rick Mears (my dad’s favorite)

20 to go, keep it green.,

 

[Kiante]

20 to go, keep it green.,

Give me one more caution to neutralize Dixon.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

If Dixon wins this race...

 

[FLRacingFan]

You have to be able to run full rich right now IMO. These guys 1st-4th just can't, I don't think. Power already caught Dixon.

I miss when nascar had Bestwick

 

[harkin]

I remember Nigel Mansell coming here from F1 and kicking behinds.

I still remember Mansell making one of the most incredible outside passes ever for the lead in front of the entire world and Paul Page completely missing it.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I miss when nascar had Bestwick

He really is better than Rick Allen, it’s not even close.

 

[Racer1930]

I guess the crew chief's are giving that famous advice to their drivers about now "go as fast as you can...but try to save fuel"

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This is about to get wild

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Aw shoot Kanan in the wall.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Dang, I was rooting for TK --- among others.

 

[DIDIT]

Gosh darn it...Nutter caution

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Someone smarter than me...why are these cars spinning out out of turns?Aero?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Damn...they were speculating on Carb Day this might be the first 500 in a while where you may actually want to prioritize fresh tires over track position if there's a late caution...

 

[ChexOrWrex]

 

[Blaze]

Another one.

 

[DIDIT]

Rossi got a chance now

 

[KTMLew01]

Aw shoot Kanan in the wall.

Ran out of...

 

[harkin]

Kanan hit the gas while both lefts on the stripe.....sooner or later they’re going to learn.

 

[Racer1930]

Give Rossi some fresh tires and LOOKOUT.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Someone smarter than me...why are these cars spinning out out of turns?Aero?

Unstable cars, worn tires, light fuel load, hot track and they are pushing to win the race.

Recipe for disaster.

 

[DIDIT]

So you have to ask the same question twice. He should have slapped him.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Servia going for the win. Genius or imbecile?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Servià has ran well all day, would be pretty cool

 

[Blaze]

This is going to be wild here possibly.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Servia going for the win. Genius or imbecile?

Race car driver.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Servia’s Strategist didn’t make me feel reassured more like “F it, we’re going for it.”

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Servia’s Strategist didn’t make me feel reassured more like “F it, we’re going for it.”

If I was in position to win with <10 laps to go, I’d want to hear that too.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Michael Shank Racing 3rd! I like them in IMSA

 

[Racer1930]

Servia’s Strategist didn’t make me feel reassured more like “F it, we’re going for it.”

Yeah LOL

 

[DIDIT]

I assume no GWC, correct?

 

[Blaze]

Jack Harvey could be a good win

 

[ChexOrWrex]

How aggressive Alan?

AGGRESSIVE GOES AROUND

 

[StandOnIt]

Serbia tore his mirror off saying whats behind me is behind me

 

[KTMLew01]

Servia’s Strategist didn’t make me feel reassured more like “F it, we’re going for it.”

Danica had this race won one year. They had her slow down. She had nearly 2 gallons of fuel. Had. It. Won. You HAVE to go for it.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

If I was in position to win with <10 laps to go, I’d want to hear that too.

I’d go for it myself as well
