Putrid coverage today. No tracker, hell they barely showed up lap speeds today. Guys are qualifying with LeTarte and JJ babbling. Nice job by Simona using yet another ANCIENT race car.
On occassion older cars turned out to be great race cars than the new chassis.
Adrian Fernandez's Frankenstein car had 1997 tub, 1998 and 1999 parts and was faster except one than the field in Motegi in 1999.
Glad Swiss Miss made the field.

It will give him something to whine about. MM16 or Danica fan. Please explain something to me. I watched pretty much all the coverage this weekend. The ECR team and the captains team both run the Chevy engines. The cars are the same for everybody except for their race adjustments. How can the ECR team qualify near the front and the captains best guy qualify on the back row? What am I missing here? I am guessing ECR has their cars trimmed out to the max for qualifying. I suspect the Captian's cars have more downforce dialed in. ECR has ALWAYS been a Indy qualifying juggernaut - not so much in the race. The Captain cars tend to do better in the race.

The Captain cars tend to do better in the race. 2012-2021 two poles *2012 - Briscoe *2019 - Pagenaud *Three wins 2001-2011 Five poles *03,07,09,10 - Helio *06 - Hornish *Five wins You could say the DW12 era has been interesting for the team, 10 combined poles and wins prior to the DW12 and five combined poles and wins since. Texas another high speed track *2012-2021 *Three wins *2001-2011 *Five wins Championships 2012-2021 4 2001-2011 1 Above are a bunch of useless facts that look interesting after a quick glance, do they struggle with setups on high speed tracks with the current formula but are better over the course of the season?

But but but ... restraining order? I could call and disguise my voice.
After all, this is for science.

Uneventful carb day for the most part, raceday shaping up to be more competitive than last year. Pulling for Marco and Conor.

I’m going out on a limb here and saying Chip Ganassi Racing is the favorite to win the 500.

I just noticed online the I500 Festival Parade is a no go this year. I really enjoyed seeing the parade and all of downtown Indy on tv.

We hope Simona will make a miracle run this year. And dedicate her race to fellow countryman Jason Dupasquier. Jason succumbed to his injuries during Moto2 qualifying.

I have no idea how to see MotoGP on tv here. It's on NBCSN but it's generally tape delayed. For you look at 8pm today. Because I wanted more than NBC was providing in Moto coverage I coughed up the big bucks for Moto GP Video Pass. Cool thanks. Had a feeling live wasn't gonna happen.
