A special moment for Alex Peroni with his fellow hometown and Indy car champ.

Not the way I wanted to see a finish. And it happened twice in Indy Lights. But wins are wins. My homeboy David Malukas sweeps the Gates.

Now the officials don't know what flag the flagger is flying.

Ed Carpenter eats shit in 4. Lost the rear end, might have gotten on the curb.

We went green for about 15 seconds. Veekay rear ends Palou and takes Dixie with him into the wall.
Chip needs an Alka Seltzer.

Colton Herta makes a sweet move on Newgarden for the lead. 120 to go

Well that was quite a race! Wreckfest, strategy, attrition, you name it. Championship is now a 5-driver battle in the West.
Big night for Chevy.
Dopes of the race: Jones, Veekay.
Pot Pouri: Loved Grosjean's bravery. Why is Ed Carpenter still driving?

He’s good at one track and that’s Indy. I think that’s the only race he should consider doing going forward.

Average race and what you would expect from the recent history of Indycar oval races. Lots of crashes early due to drivers being clowns. Close racing for 5-10 laps after a restart and then cars are spread out due to tire wear, marbles, and a lower downforce package from many years back. I’m all for it too. Drivers and teams should be rewarded for ability and a good setup.

All the marbles didn't help matters any.

Did you guys see Rick Mears Grosjean put on that passing clinic last night? Yes I caught that. Good stuff for his first oval race. Then, after he changed tires he got into the marbles and lost em all. :-)
