That was a classic SMI speedway situation. It'll take a moment or two to clean that up.

Almost caught out the leader with Wickens coming back down off the banking. Hard to blame either guy there, think that's one of them open-wheel racing deals
75 lap sprints with sticker tires. We thinking Rossi's engineer is right and he can make a set last that long, or we have a sh1tshow with sticker tires coming out? |

Wickens makes a point to insult DeMelo even though he wasn't involved in the crash... Classy

Carpenter is now apologizing for the accident on camera. That is a much classier response. Wickens needs to learn from that type of interview.

Wickens is a tad ****ed off but Ed admitted it was his mistake.

But he still shouldn't have shut the door on a driver who's with the lead pack when he's a lap or more down

Let's be honest, Ed shouldn't be out there, period.

Rossi found another gear and said thanks I'll take 2 spots this time, shot right past them both.

Power didn't know he was there. Bold move by Zach but it seems that Will went a little higher than the car in front of him.
Racing incident. |

It's a bold move and Hinch stopping everyone up made that high line seem wide open. I think Power wasn't ever going to make that corner without sliding up towards the wall and Zach wasn't ever going to complete that big run. Def a racing deal but willing to cut a kid more slack esp after Power was throwing his equipment after.

Forgot about my racing weird moment this afternoon, not Indy but I'm sure everyone here will understand.
Walked in to my local Ace Hardware this afternoon and was greeted with almost perfect timing and She Sells Sanctuary playing. Thought for a minute, and thought a moment it's not LM weekend and why are they playing RLM here? |

Indy has spoken, Power gets the penalty and something will be broken in the garage I'm thinking

Rossi not being able to get around Pagenaud is boring the hell out of me, Pag just isn't fast and Rossi could prob catch Dixon but that's not happening now I don't think

Well that was that.
I love the points distribution in races. A win in Texas gets you 53 points! 53? Really? |
