I feel like Ericsson is a lock, and then past that.....

Not a lot of drop off for Nolan. Let's see what the others have.

Fantastic & emotional last run from Vikay - that was special & his Chev behaved.

Roll on the fast 12 tomorrow.

Apparently it's in the shift at 12k and they've been running it in dynos to check maps

Well....

Whoops, that will cost ya. Bring out the fans accidentally placed near the car, he'll be in the line to go again

What’s going on with Ericsson’s run. White flag when timing said only done two, then backs off. Weird.

Announcers were confused and Timing was off a lap too. It is a nailbiting hour.

**Adam43** · 19 May 2024, 20:24 (Ref:4209561)

Legge! Scary on the out lap and the last lap.

She will not want to take that car back out again. It looked like she was doing all she could to keep it on track but the car was trying to toss her out.

broadrun96 · 19 May 2024, 20:27 (Ref:4209563)

Timing has been behind at least 1 lap

Kat looks like she's good for making the field. Ericsson gotta get crew members walking in circles around the car holding ice blocks to cool her down

**bjohnsonsmith** · 19 May 2024, 20:30 (Ref:4209564)

Rahal gets through but it looks like Ericsson is on his way out.

broadrun96 · 19 May 2024, 20:32 (Ref:4209565)

Think Ericsson even with a hot car can knock out Siegel, he was tracking fine and lifted at the white flag, 100% on him

Still torn about not allowing cooling during this period. Think they could allow 2 fans of team choice with dry ice over the smaller radiator fans every open wheel car needs to not blow. They let them do it in the garage but return to the garage and you are out of session. They do allow the single cool down until I think 10 minutes left

So wild for him and the team to allow that mistake to happen.

**joeb** · 19 May 2024, 20:35 (Ref:4209567)

It is hot in Indy today too, that can't help trying to cool things down.

broadrun96 · 19 May 2024, 20:39 (Ref:4209569)

Ericsson playing the rules well, just do a bad run on old tires to get the air moving until they tell you get off the track man

broadrun96 · 19 May 2024, 20:42 (Ref:4209570)

Found Siegel's problem, the flag is on the car backwards. Field of blue ALWAYS forward man

Grahams team rocking the high vis vest team kit

Just saw a commercial for a local pizza place. They have been around maybe 12 years or so and I've never seen any advertising. They should have kept it that way. A single boy at the table being talked to by an unknown adult male (that the kid doesn't know) talking to him off camera and then reaching in and putting his finger on the kids mouth to tell him to be quiet. WTF? I felt worried for that kid.

broadrun96 · 19 May 2024, 20:53 (Ref:4209573)

Conor Daly calling Siegel a kid, course I will think of him as the new kid not the veteran he really is

Oh Louisiana

Andretti gonna try to save it to the end, only a few minutes left so everyone else might as well get out. Or send Siegel out to set a time again and keep Ericsson from running and stealing the spot, Ericsson has no time since he did the cool down run

Guess they're going early and give Siegel a chance to maybe steal it. Almost seems like he'll do it to knock Graham out

**joeb** · 19 May 2024, 21:04 (Ref:4209578)

Gosh could you imagine if Graham gets bumped again????

Learn to drive a BMW GTP car then, right away. Just go, steal it and start driving it all week while the team is busy

**Adam43** · 19 May 2024, 21:06 (Ref:4209580)

Ericsson!

Siegel one final go. Go on!

**bjohnsonsmith** · 19 May 2024, 21:06 (Ref:4209581)

Ericsson does it and it looks like Siegel is out.

**Adam43** · 19 May 2024, 21:08 (Ref:4209582)

That thing is a brick.

Now a brink in the wall.

**joeb** · 19 May 2024, 21:08 (Ref:4209583)

dang, Siegal gave it his all, but not to be.
