Congratulations to Van Kalmthout!

When an announcer says "here's the Dutch rising star", now you need to think twice.

Glad to see there is no serious damage to any cars with all the activities coming up for the 500.

Yes, Rahal had a go at his strategist, calling him stupid, and then that strategy won him 5th place out of nowhere!

It’s a shame that Grosjean was unable to convert that pole into a win, but that was an excellent drive from him nonetheless. And Veekay also drove brilliantly to win.

I thought the race was a bit slow to get going, the FCY on Lap 1 didn't help but it came alive after the second round of stops.

5 winners so far is just outstanding, and i heard a stat during the race that said we have had three first time winners in the first five races. I would have thought that was a record, but during the broadcast they said it happened in 2013.

I did not hear them mention when the last time there was five different winners in the first five races though. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a sixth winner with the 500 coming up.

He needs to race on ovals before you can say that.

I'm well aware of that.

I don't want anything from him. My comment was in response to S. Griffin's post about Grosjean getting the hang of IndyCar.
