Looks like Herta is rejoining.

I was wrong. Car is fine. Wonder if there was another reason he got out?

Easy, Penske and Penske clone AJR and McLaren front, the rest alternate. Guess Palou as well now up there

The car's nose and left front wing were damaged.

But new nose and wing is easy fix, get AMR to refire him and he's only a lap or 2 down not 13

Pato quick on the wheel cause he got the curb on the inside at T2

[fieldodreams79]

What a save from PatO

[Adam43]

Pato “dab of oppo” O’Ward!

[broadrun96]

That line is vicious and moving NE, and getting bigger to throw weather in again after it's an official race now


Wonder if they have the race on at Charlotte, for Busch they actually showed it in the track but that was pre-race

yes, but as far as steering and drive train is what I meant.

[fieldodreams79]

Yellow. RHR.

[broadrun96]

Well that was a late caught caution, wonder if RHR went high

Drove right in to Dixie. Dixie was drifting low but probably penalty but I could see no penalty too as he was moving already for passing but RHR had a run too

But he brought it back to the pits to look instead of getting out. But he may need the seat cleaned out

[belt driven]

Not too swooft move by Dixon

[fieldodreams79]

Man. That was dangerous.

for real, but RhR made it out way better than he could have.

[broadrun96]

Any one catch what Larson gets to do later? Can he have allgaier start the car and then get in mid race? Don't think he could get there any time in the first half the race

Slight chance of storms there, building but nothing like Indy had earlier

[belt driven]

Kyle, your other car has started w/o you...

[Adam43]

Marco! Give me a rest.

This could be a timed race!

[bjohnsonsmith]

7th FCY. Andretti losing it.

[belt driven]

Does Indy still have 325 gal fuel limit?

My thought exactly, everyone gotta be counting on 815 now and working backwards

[v8supes]

At this rate Sting Ray Robb might get a legitimate top 10

[fieldodreams79]

Poor Marco.

And poor us! Too many cautions, that will surely shorten the race.

Not sure but the rate they're going they wouldn't get close to using all the fuel with so much yellow

If they can time it right and stop with the rest for the final 30 laps before 815 there is a chance for a few of the smaller teams
