The 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race

Should be a great day. If I can make some things work with my schedule, I'll be heading up for the race. Would love to see Newgarden or Rahal win it. As long as it isn't a Penske car, I'll be happy.
 
Just saw the official entry list, just 33 cars so I guess no one will be going home. Also no nascar drivers on the list.

Besides the four hours of qualifying ABC will show practice and qualifying should be shown here: http://racecontrol.indycar.com/
 
The 1982 500 my favorite.
Gordy's last pit stop was beautiful and badass. And needed to steal one from a faster Rick Mears. I still love watching it.

Yeah it looks like Andretti Autosport did a slight bit of pack practice there...

Yeah, I didn't catch the last couple of hours but Marshall Pruett or Robin Miller said in that period AA did some team towing sessions.
 
Stayed on the ground....That's a good thing
 
If we're gonna break 230mph it's gonna happen either today or tomorrow. Cool temps and fast cars :)

Looooong range models show a slick 500. Temperatures in the 80 degree range.
 
I think they'll hit 230 today. Already a 227.96 on the board from Chaves and there are a lot of fast cars that have yet to put in a really good lap.
 
Practice 4 results

Honda continues to dominate overall, but Power (225.381 MPH) set the fastest lap without a tow once he trimmed out to qualifying aero. Boost level will be raised to 140 kPa for Fast Friday and qualifying, adding ~ 30 HP.
 
They are really getting after it today. Several 231+ mph runs without a tow.
