Yeah. Power thought whoever on the inside could just move out the way. But it was at the start and there are lots of cars around.

"Push to pass is now available [Penske]".

Lundgaard - woh! tight move on Dixon.

And Lundgaard dips in pits as Ferrucci does it again.

The nose to tail line after was funny.

NASCHIMPSA?

2nd FCY, Kyffin Simpson ran into Helio Castroneves. It hasn't worked out for MSR, subbing Castroneves for Blomqvist.

Get rid of those tires! Good timing.

Well done Ferrucci. Oh dear. Going well. When will they realize they only have one decent driver.

[joeb]

Rasmussen engine wanted no more....

Live now. And pointless rain at the moment.

Radar doesn't look like rain will be an issue going forward.

[bjohnsonsmith]

Scotty Mac into the tyre wall.


He's out of the wall but has dropped a lot of places.

[Adam43]

Less pointless rain.

Don't think wet tires is worth it, but damn.

It's often a big risk, but it is looking like it will work out.

could have worked I guess if they went to green right away.

and Power shunts Veekay

[broadrun96]

Nice of TV to blame Santino first, then on video say Porchaire hit Power when that was all Power turning in on a car but sure, let's watch the screen not the script.

The Hy-Vee up the inside caused the entire thing and no mention of him trying the same nonsense IMSA Lexus and Aston tried yesterday at 3. Lundgaard

[Adam43]

Already had a penalty, so in for a penny in for a pound. i agree with the commentary this time - VeeKay didn't think anyone could be there.

[joeb]

action in pit lane, could have been a lot worse, I hope everyone is ok.

Did the short wet period count as a wet race? or do the usual tire rules still apply?

[Adam43]

Surely now wet race?

[Adam43]

Rossi giving room and benefitting.

Herta. Pure madness

[bjohnsonsmith]

I wondered how long it would take for Herta to mess up his race. 5th FCY for 25 laps.

[Adam43]

"A little boo boo". Please.

Santino was at fault there but Helio being an old man driver down the middle of the road with his blinker on

Was just watching the section with the official NBC how great is this kid, he was the 500 favorite (never mind that team and the other team that qualified in front of him) but it didn't come to him. Yeah cause he wrecked and then abandoned his car in a fit


Why doesn't Indy just push to redesignate corners? They're starting and restarting on the way to T3 today I think. Just make that T1 instead and S/F there. I get the start of the race being back there like Mid-Ohio but once they start the race S/F is used right? Can't think IMSA would really give a rip where they start

[Adam43]

Oh dear, oh dear.

[joeb]

lots to play out still, but OWard up to 5th after first lap incident. '

Dixon trying to save till the end now.
