Stunning move by Newgarden, surprised nobody else is trying this move. You only need to save 11 laps of fuel. That’s what? 6 yellow laps? That’s almost a certainty

[broadrun96]

Malukas gonna punt McLaughlin if he gets the chance after that "pass"

[broadrun96]

Pagenaud's car or tires are DONE, sounds like diff shot but that's not enough to account for him getting passed without much work from others. Something else has to be off too

[bjohnsonsmith]

5th FCY.

[broadrun96]

Ouch, that was close to a couple cars in to Rahal when he went back out. He didn't turn at all, hopefully now it's in the hauler. And Veekay has to pit AGAIN in 2 laps

Dixie and Lundgaard might be the big winners here

Yes the strategy looks like everyone should have pitted on that lap after the first people went in, but now that changes things greatly. power and Ericsson were just outside the top 10, but now we're going to be in front of Palou after he makes his stop.

sent during haircut

[Adam43]

Palou winning is the funniest result, but looking less and less likely.

[broadrun96]

I thought it looked like Palou's wing was flapping, in to the back of Power earlier

And last lap he was fastest so......

Lundgaard looks like he's catching and could have the pace on Dixie. But Dixie has a TON more P2P to use

[bjohnsonsmith]

6th FCY. Malukas and Kirkwood.

[tux]

Herta is going to win ?

[broadrun96]

And the hot rookies are out


Looks like Kirkwood went hard in the corner in to Malukas. That looks rough

Looks like 2 in to 1 and optimistic on Kirkwood but think Malukas may not have made it either trying to defend.

This gonna take a minute and Cindric again making fuel laps out of thin air, well I was wrong there

You do still use fuel under yellow you know!

[broadrun96]

Well caution every 11 laps means we have a chance to end under yellow like IMSA earlier today

[bjohnsonsmith]

Back to green flag.

[broadrun96]

Wonder if Herta has a flat from Power bumping him

[broadrun96]

Another yellow coming? Eriksson dead stick

Looks like he got it back going

[bjohnsonsmith]

Jimmie Johnson brings out another caution.

[Adam43]

Another rookie error. Jimmie Johnson this time

[broadrun96]

Think it's McLaughlin to win, he can pass Lundgaard on the button and Dixie slow.

And Jimmie. Ok, that's a bigger than just a looper there, right side done. Ouch, replay says that's no good

Should get going quickly enough to allow another crash and a yellow!
