I hope they send Bib to the booth for the interviews. He doesn't talk.

I8 has 195/50R14 in front. Thats not skinny but a little strange size for a kind of sporty car. But yes, the interview is a little over the top |

Excessive wheelspin penalty for Alon? Man, I thought only ACO had crap rules about that stuff.

So the #91 Porsche of Tandy, pitted right before the safety car. I don't know why. Strategy or a problem? They benefitted from the Road America track size. Did not get lapped and was able to stay out when the others stopped. Hence why it leads right now.
The surprise is that the Fords have not yet caught him. BMW's are doing alright too. Battling had with Chevrolet from 4th-7th. #92 Porsche of Bamber looks like is last place now. |

turns out the ferrari that caused the caution, screwed the Alon car, by leaving a wheel in the path of the exiting proto. Alog got the penalty for hitting that tire.

I had the stream on the #66 Ford at the time. The car just quick. Did not sounds like a tire. Stick a fork in them. Its out. So sudden!

Fox doing interviews without showing the race. They make it so hard to follow.

Best thing to watch right now is the onboard for the #25 BMW. Got 91 Porsche and 67 Ford lead battle right ahead.

Madison Snow driving that Lambo very quick eh? I think he is in job application mode now. Seeing his status as a silver is about to disappear before 2019 season starts.

I didn't expect this many cautions at road America. Lots of room on the track, but the drivers can't seem to keep it clean today. Has to be a penalty on that Ford/Porsche contact.

John H promoting Lally and Legge in the NASCAR race at Mid Ohio. Might have been worth a watch but those stupid stages was the last straw for me with that sanctioning body. |

The length of these cautions make it a tough watch

#67 Ford is going to be tough catch the rest of this race. Over in GTD, keep an eye on Palletta in the Turner BMW. They are sneaking in there again.
I agree about the yellows. What a waste of time. Someone should have asked Atherton about this. These safety car periods hurts the quality of the race big time. Biggest problem with the series and it does not get enough attention. |
