Great shots & memories - Marlboro Penske's, always liked them... Dallara should take note on how to build a good looking car!

I wish IndyCar would do something about televising Quali. Not wanting to state the obvious but it's an important part of the race weekend and a great way of generating more interest. |

That is a great result for Newgarden and Hawksworth! Disappointed with Briscoe though.

Bourdais doing well with his Chevy, gotta think he'd be leading if he had a Honda

That qualifying was very interesting. Now the 2 Andretti drivers Hunter-Reay and Hinch will be the ones to beat. And even Marco is starting P8. A lot of quality drivers are chasing them from deep in the field. The French duo will also be 2 cars to watch. And Newgarden. Too bad I cannot watch the race tonight. The time zone difference is a bit too much.

I wasn't expecting a standing start. Very clean get away. Apparently Luyendyck spun the two seater passenger car and that cost everyone a lap.

Bourdais goes into the tyre wall and we have the first caution but gets the car running and back to the pits. He'll need a new nose.

Bad luck for Pagenaud, just got clipped by Power, but he's not out of the race.
The Pagenaud incident and Rahal/Wilson incident under investigation. |
