Only caught Fast 6 but that is exciting stuff with such short session. Scotty Mac wins pole by a lot!

Qualifying Result

Two Chevy powered cars are on the front row for tomorrow's potential Caution Fest, with Honda making up the rest of the Fast 6. Will the race be a repeat of the last two years?

There have been 17 yellows in the first 2 years of this race. I don't see how it will be much different this year. If they can keep it under 6 I think it will be a lot better, I just hope Linus doesn't get taken out in the first lap like Tom did on his debut for MSR

They got lucky with the weather in a way. We were in the area last weekend and the heat indexes were well over 110 with ambients of 97. It was brutal. Always a chance for storms in the south during this time of year so I just think it's the wrong time.....

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2023, 15:00 (Ref:4171593)

Only a few cautions in the NXT race this morning but with seven laps to go, there's another one

**bjohnsonsmith** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:33 (Ref:4171628)

The start is waived off because the rear of the field hadn't caught up.

Edit: A clean start second time round

That was the first hurdle, now Graham pits early

NBC Roku app only showing imsa race. Guess I'm watching replays of both.

Only HBO's app is worse than NBC's.

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:45 (Ref:4171638)

Stingy up to 15!

Peacock is dreadful app, but it has both IMSA and Indycar races

The first caution of how many, as Malukas loses his rear wing.

What happened? I didn't see a replay, and we were at commercials

And David was doing so good today, that has to be heartbreaking for the team

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:55 (Ref:4171645)

Never saw if they were pit stops, cuz we were at commercials again

His rear wing detached itself from the support column. Very strange as he hadn't made contact with anything.

**bjohnsonsmith** · 6 Aug 2023, 16:57 (Ref:4171649)

Colton Herta had a terrible re-start and now a terrible pit top.

Indeed and now we keep getting commercials. This is the most commercials I've seen during IndyCar race that don't have side by side

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2023, 17:21 (Ref:4171665)

Amazing race so far with the lack of cautions

**bjohnsonsmith** · 6 Aug 2023, 17:36 (Ref:4171670)

Lucky, nearly a second caution as DeFrancesco manages to get his car going, after going nose first into the tyre barrier.

**bjohnsonsmith** · 6 Aug 2023, 17:38 (Ref:4171672)

Scotty Mac gets Ro Gro.

Same clowns run both. I just hope they don't have the winner and highlights in big bold lettering when I go to look for the replay!!

**bjohnsonsmith** · 6 Aug 2023, 18:07 (Ref:4171681)

FCY, Lundqvist into the wall. That's going to send Palou to the back of the field.

**bjohnsonsmith** · 6 Aug 2023, 18:28 (Ref:4171684)

I stand corrected, Palou is still third and the race is red flagged after the re-start, which resulted in carnage.

The first 90% of this race was great, and now these cautions in red flags have really torn things up

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2023, 18:39 (Ref:4171687)

Kirkwood takes his 2nd victory of the year!!!

**bjohnsonsmith** · 6 Aug 2023, 18:43 (Ref:4171688)

Congrats to Kyle Kirkwood. I think Scotty Mac will be a bit disappointed with second. On the other hand Alex Palou will be pleased with third.
