The Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational is this weekend, featuring SVRA and Trans Am.
I think it's not the best idea to do this event the same weekend as an IndyCar race. |

Why not? It's not like they're 50 miles apart and Indy gets TV coverage, SVRA gets nada and TA is YouTube

The Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational is the sort of event where current and former IndyCar drivers should get invited. Like the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

It's purely location based name only. Not much in the way of Indy cars entered other than pre-war cars, pre WWI cars. Interesting cars but nothing Indy teams would be excited about

I'd like to see the rest of the races won by drivers who haven't won this year, but I am somewhat realistically hoping for three. |

The article says: ''Malukas is drawing interest from the likes of Andretti Autosport, among other teams.'' So I would have thought he has provisionally been approached by more than one team and is weighing his options. |

Daly won't be subbing for Simon this week, but next years driver Tom Blomqvist will be!

Glad Tom is being given the chance. A great addition for the grid.

It's not a secret, he will drive for MSR in 2024 as well.

The Corvette team has come to an end but as the article says, Pratt Miller will continue with GM as the exclusive builder of the new Corvette Z06 GT3 race car when it debuts next year, in IMSA’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD Pro class. However, that is as far as the exclusivity with GM will go in sports car racing. What's interesting is their behind the scenes involvement with GM for IndyCar, e.g. the Chevrolet aero kit. |

Obvious ones might be Penske but I'd really like to see a shift in the balance of power so Carpenter or Foyt if Chevy is the lead supplier. But if they are more open to shifting manufacturers then Coyne or RLL would be interesting. |

It's not clear from the article if they are going to go into an alliance with anyone, or if they will enter as a full time entrant in their own right. With the work they have done with Chevrolet in IndyCar and the current work they are doing on the new Corvette Z06 GT3, I don't see them geting involved with either Dale Coyne or RLL, who are both Honda teams. |

I would guess they will stand alone or possibly just be a buyer of suspension bits from a team while they work on their own stuff. Hell they may just start their own everything from scratch and have a pretty good start on being mid field early on

Daly in again for Pags, and he's been quick there lately

Dallara has made bigger nuts as a result of kirkwood's Indy crash.

I was surprised to see how the assembly is designed. Why have a nut on the inside of the upright at all? It should be a flange integral to the spindle. |

I'm not holding my breath but it would be great to see Lundgaard be in the top 5 at season's end. I think that the last time a driver outside of the current top 4 teams finished top five for the season was Rahal in 2016.
