The 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500

[DanicaFreak]

Looked like a racing deal why’s ed pissed

 

[Greg]

Not sure if that's the official reason but no time to react if something goes wrong if they're closer together.

I have seen a few drivers for this race eliminated due not beng able to control there cars during the preliminary laps
Just a guess but maybe the cars temps (fluids) were not up or optimized enough, along with the cold tires, and that causes them to more conservative on the initial green.

 

[FLRacingFan]

No lip readers necessary to figure that one out.

 

[gnomesayin]

Cowshuns breed cowshuns.

 

[nickp]

Can tick 'cautions breed cautions off the bingo card

 

[donthaveanickname]

Yeah Taku, that was avoidable.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Of all the years for Rossi to finally have some luck again during the race, this would be it.

Not looking good, dropped 15 spots on pit road.

 

[Greg]

If you didn't notice how they closed up for this restart, you're about to get another chance.

Will have to watch the upcoming restart, I was to bust writing the previous post to catch that one.

This year, like last year, is also one of the coolest on record so cold tires were probably even more of a concern than usual.

The crowd pop if/when Conor takes the lead will be massive.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Don't sleep on JoNew today.

Conor!

 

[Hotrod]

Listen to that crowd for Daly!
Reminds me when Jr. takes the lead at Dega.

Surprised INDYCAR doesn’t allow tire warmers.

Not to sound like Andy but the graphics are glitching out CONSTANTLY.

 

[nickp]

Absolutely the best sporting event ever (Olympics I can argue close 2nd)

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Did Scotty go through too many pit stalls?

 

[Blaze]

Some pretty great racing so far

 

[FLRacingFan]

This feels super racey for having just gotten through the second pit cycle.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Did Scotty go through too many pit stalls?

He had a few open boxes ahead of him with the NTT box and the S/F line.

 

[donthaveanickname]

The race had settled down a bit before lap 60, since they pitted it's been frantic.

All that money Fox will make off the World Cup, but they could afford only the one annoying ad.

 

[Brentford]

How come these cars don’t fan out like NASCAR does? No one is driving away from the guy behind them. It was like that back when I went to Texas. It was as if I was watching a drafting race.

 

[nickp]

Indy 500 is on Rowdy mode this year

 

[Charlie Spencer]

It was as if I was watching a drafting race.

You are, and a fuel mileage race too. Gotta get close before making a move. Gotta get past the last stop.

It’s hard to drive away from the field when everybody has the same equipment. It’s probably been at least 20-25 years since you’d be able to do that at IMS. The slipstream is also very pronounced at 220+, and there’s always some element of fuel saving going on until the final stint.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Andretti has not worked well for Will.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Rossi is on fire again??

 

[donthaveanickname]

26 lost Power

 

[Hotrod]

Veteran move Power to take the leaks off the track quickly. Bravo !

 

[Charlie Spencer]

26 lost Power

Maybe go start your Coffee and Cake now?

[nickp]

Listening to the race on the radio and working in the garden

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Well, crud.

 

[HoneyBadger]

FOX just broke out Delta Force

 

[REBS31]

Looks like we’re trying to do a part 2 to the O’Reilly race from last night

 

[donthaveanickname]

Let's hope we don't lose the track

 

[HoneyBadger]

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing ... one of my all time favorites.

FOX's music selection is on point!
