Makes no sense, just checked and NWS is calling for continued rain overnight and morning tomorrow with flood watches up for overnight and tomorrow. But hey, maybe it's hard to check the computers

Are the cars not held in parc ferme conditions overnight? Seems every one has been able to add fuel.

Looks like the conditions in Alabama may lend itself to a decent show today. Still a 40% chance of rain but it's currently clear. There will probably be some standing water off circuit so keeping it on the gray today will be important. |

I was suprised that everyone was able to do what they want but Will Power couldn’t start having his car repaired until the cars leave pit lane

Congrats to Newgarden and Penske.
Bourdais finished 5th but is still up there regarding the driver's championship. |

Result:
82 laps, why have it a timed race and not complete the full 90?

i've been avoiding results and haven't seen anything yet; just know that Sunday was stopped at some point. I'd like to see what led up to it, but NBCSN and IndyCar YouTube only have Monday's action available, best I can tell. Does anyone have some insight on how to watch Saturday? Thx in advance. PM me if you want...

I couldn't watch the Sunday race, so on Monday night I foind out the rainout. I watched the Monday portion only.
Most of the race was rather boring, or at least the NBC announcers and camera director didn't help. But it got interesting when the track became moist. Bourdais was a few minutes short of a miracle. |

The rain provided further excitement and Bourdais and Dixon side by side at the flag. I'll take that |

I was surprised they allowed the teams to refuel and the race itself declared a timed, wet race. I think they should have continued the race from Lap 23 and raced the remainder of the 90 laps. Fuel and tyre strategies would definitely have come into play. |
