What did Scott Dixon do to yall?

 

[Old Kid]

I'm not handing it to Dixon yet

Never, not until he (or whomever) pulls out of the fourth corner on the last lap with a good lead.

 

[JBone88]

Nothing. Just tired of the same guy winning all the time. In every form of motorsport.

Honestly don’t even care who wins. Just want to see at least one on track battle for the lead. Dixon has been cruising since the green dropped.

 

[FLRacingFan]

They could've jacked Dixon up two at a time NASCAR-style and still come out first with that gap into the pits.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What did Scott Dixon do to yall?

Same thing Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson did a couple of times - win everything in sight.

What did Scott Dixon do to yall?

Hey, I have no dog in this hunt lol. Don't care much who wins, but I'm hoping someone can at least challenge Dixon for it

 

[Nitro Dude]

This is Indy where anything can happen until the checkered flag is dropped.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Didn't Newgarden lose one like that? Somebody did,

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wins a lot while not being Jeff Gordon or Kevin Harvick

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Why Danica look high af

 

[FLRacingFan]

Didn't Newgarden lose one like that? Somebody did,

JR Hildebrand? Technically he had a big lead coming out of 4 on the last lap, albeit with a car he had just junked.

 

[JBone88]

Didn't Newgarden lose one like that? Somebody did,

JR Hildebrand. The last race Dan Wheldon won.

 

[2 Sweet]

Hildebrand

 

[Old Kid]

Didn't Newgarden lose one like that? Somebody did,

Yes a few years ago but I can't recall who.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

What did Scott Dixon do to yall?

Win a lot and be boring while doing it, also stole a championship away from JPM that I’m still mad about

 

[JBone88]

That was some bull****.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Win a lot and be boring while doing it, also stole a championship away from JPM that I’m still mad about

Damn. I had finally put that out of memory.

Still blows my mind that IndyCar and NASCAR each had a championship come down to a tiebreaker within five years.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Jesus

 

[AdoubleU24]

Sheesh. You couldn't pay me enough to drive these things on an oval.

 

[FLRacingFan]

About time things got stupid.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

OUCH.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

That was a nasty hit.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Yeah, same concrete rumble strip Alonso spun on last week. Can't mess with that thing.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

something had to have broke on that car. Theres no way he just took off to the left on purpose.

 

[gnomesayin]

That was a nasty hit.

Glad he's (mostly) OK. whew.

 

[Reck]

Eh, I watched that season and I was pulling for Juan myself. He crashed and ran rather mediocre toward the tail end.

That's on him.

 

[Mispeedway15]

I really wish they allowed a few fans here. Tough to see it completely empty

 

[Mispeedway15]

Conor Daly sucks. Haha how do you not know that you drove off the road

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This race is eating rookies alive. Cautiously optimistic for O’Ward.

 

[Nitro Dude]

Graham P6.

 

[JBone88]

Pato O’Ward likely won’t win today. But he’s knocking on the door. Kid is a talent.

 

[Nitro Dude]

Even though I enjoy some of the feed back Danica is giving I would much rather see her competing.

 

[gnomesayin]

Sorry, I don't get what they think they are accomplishing by purposely swapping the lead once per lap. They weren't getting away until they stopped.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pato really did all he could to hang on, Chevy just don't have the power this year.

 

[Old Kid]

Sorry, I don't get what they think they are accomplishing by purposely swapping the lead once per lap. They aren't getting away. It looks silly and I was starting to hope something went wrong with it.

Saving fuel.

[JBone88]

Let’s go Sato!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Another rookie bites the dust. Hard hit there

 

[Kiante]

Palou just mashed the wall.

Wow, car got loose underneath him.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Who said the rookies were getting eaten?

Seems to be a lot of untethered debris todsy.
