When the indy cars come off of turn 2 or 4, how come they just don't stay on the high side while on the straight away? I notice that they come off on the high side, come down the track towards the middle of the straight away and then go back on the high side when they go into turn 1 and 3.

That must be the preferred racing line.

Wouldn't it be quicker to just stay on the high line when coming off turn 2 and 4 instead of cutting down a little and going back up? Does the speed of the indy car coming off of the turn make it impossible to stay on the high side when coming off of those turns?

I was just about to post that but the ABC commentary team beat me to it, no caution periods. , and Helio just took the lead from RH-R.

Montoya is doing a good job, looks like he is a bit more fuel efficient.
Might be handy at the end with the last pitstop, needing less fuel

Thought he looked a little too hot coming in!

I think the guys at the front might breathe a sigh of relief at that - Montoya was starting to look like a bit of a dark horse.

Dixon into the wall and the 2nd caution of the day. Looks like the wing adjustment did it.

Newgarden out as well. It's all starting to happen, with 30 laps to go.

Despite having scrubbed off a lot of speed the car still wanted to go airborne when sliding backwards along the wall. Ugh, not a fan of the sails they're driving. Wheel-to-wheel contact (let's face it, the wheel bar won't stop every scenario) here and the current car would set an altitude record.

But it didn't take off because it's not flat bottomed like its predecessor.

Hinch and Carpenter out on the restart and it's the 3rd caution of the day. Looks like that all started with Bell and he's now 2nd.

I really hope the race doesn't end on a yellow.
