Ok, missed the start but why do we allow Newgarden to run? Just give him win points and let everyone else race

broadrun96 · 23 Jul 2023, 19:01 (Ref:4169587)

Did they just go to commercial as someone clouted the wall?

And Will Power doesn’t get it. Deal.

90 laps in and the BBQ was ace.

That couldn’t have been timed better.

**Adam43** · 23 Jul 2023, 19:08 (Ref:4169590)

On the plus side a whole lotta Patrick Mahomes.

**Adam43** · 23 Jul 2023, 19:13 (Ref:4169592)

My life is empty so I would like to complain that they have just shown Ed Sheeran again. Celebs. What right do they have to be at a Motorsport event. And NBC insist on showing them.

Getting ready to go green. Ready for this racy track? I get scared at restarts.

McLaughlin is trying his best. It’s fun, but as they get up to speed it settles down.

I know, shots of team members in the garage would be much better. Indycar can learn from WEC.

This track always has good racing, I like it more that I remembered

**Adam43** · 23 Jul 2023, 19:31 (Ref:4169597)

What was the wheel’s lap time?

(Phew)

broadrun96 · 23 Jul 2023, 19:32 (Ref:4169598)

That went well but could have been BAD

Sting Ray trying to take the win by obstruction, can't think they'll let him back out. You could see the wheel nut pass the car in the box

**joeb** · 23 Jul 2023, 19:33 (Ref:4169599)

Stingy needs a better team

**bjohnsonsmith** · 23 Jul 2023, 19:33 (Ref:4169600)

Stingy's car turns into a tricycle.

broadrun96 · 23 Jul 2023, 19:35 (Ref:4169602)

Good Lord, I didn't think they could make a worse promo for Gran Turismo and then they did. Wow, that was bad

Yeah, Indy parked him.

broadrun96 · 23 Jul 2023, 19:41 (Ref:4169604)

Think Cindric over thought it and not pitting Newgarden was a bad call, McLaughlin going to the front fast cars between them but he's taking seconds out of the lead

Blast I missed the commercial. I was moving inside to lay into the air con.

Damn right. I admire him sticking with them, but sometimes you’ve got to do what’s right for you. I worry this becomes the biggest lost Indy talent. Or, perhaps, the biggest in Motorsport.

Yes. Surely pit was the default.

It’s always difficult if you are upfront.

Ok, didn't expect Scott coming in with the rest there. McLaren found something for Rosenqvist there at the end

**Adam43** · 23 Jul 2023, 20:04 (Ref:4169609)

Grosjean still running!

That's my plan since we got home from the farmers market, was hot today and only 90 but high sun

**bjohnsonsmith** · 23 Jul 2023, 20:05 (Ref:4169611)

Caution on the track. I was hoping for no more.

**joeb** · 23 Jul 2023, 20:05 (Ref:4169612)

Gosh, OWard car looks like a handful. Josef nearly lapped the field before that caution

I don't think anyone expected Scott coming in, because it's a ridiculous idea. McLaughlin went from comfortably 2nd, to struggling to hold 4th. Saved by yellow.

55 disqualified for failing to maintain a competitive speed.

broadrun96 · 23 Jul 2023, 20:05 (Ref:4169614)

I was just thinking of Newgarden could lap everyone to 3 but RHR yellow ended that

Who pits to try to go forward in 4 laps

broadrun96 · 23 Jul 2023, 20:07 (Ref:4169615)

Sounds like Scott's trying to pit but team isn't in to that decision

Ok, no pitting for anyone and top 5 together after clearing all the lap down through pit lane. Short track Sunday afternoon
