Bommarito 500 from gateway
Been a great weekend of vrooms!
>Watch comfy night racing last night with LeMans
>Now we get another comfy indy night race
Blessed weekend
>>149220194And on top of that Indy cars at ovals is based and red pilled
>>149220303doin it for DAEL
>>149220303snooty mac win confirmed
>>149220303Whatโre you sipping on king? Last night I drank 10 pints of coors banquet, the banquet beer
I'm glad Indy moved their schedule. They're about 4th on my priority list. So I'm glad they moved so I can watch
Why does my brain think of Burrito 500?
>>149220398Must be hungry. Did you get your 5000 calories today?
Hard hitting journalism from Jack
>how are you feeling?
>good, Iโve got my helmet on!
>>149220372You're list fucked up, fren.
Jeep/Ram will never win me back after those 2020 commercials. I hope they DNF every truck race next year
>Competing with Martin Brundle for most cringe grid walks
kino
>>149220432You could tell he was so stoked to do a cross promotion with Farmer Wants a Wife. If anything, O'Ward should do it. They could call it "Driver wants a Wife"
>>149220432No, he's just an asshole.
>>149220439I'm afraid not
Is there a way to watch 100 Days to Indy without downloading the damned Fox Nation app.
Does the forehead wart help Alex Palou & Kyle Larson drive faster?
>>149220479>Martin BrundleI can't stand that guy
>FOX finally edited the driver intros
These driver intros are so goddamned unprofessional. How did Fox pull that off?
>>149220368Vodka and lemon juice because my drunk ass froze the diet coke a few nights ago. Also heavy ass beer
onboards, also does anyone have a direct stream? acez and mazespin have sucked all weekend and dd12 only has the fox broadcast
https://pastebin.com/8iuRYhvz
>>149220568This is actually the IMPROVED version
Just poured myself a glass of Shellโข Renewable Race Fuel. Getting my night started right!
i would eat the fuck out of that blonde girls pussy
>>149220582Nice good choice. I donโt care much for liquor, Iโm more of a beer guy, but I like a nice jack and coke.
>>149220636update, dd12 did have one
https://cdn-a.streamlaps.net/indy-int/hls/0/stream.m3u8
>>149220517Apparently some local Fox affiliates broadcast it on their own hours.
>>149220568Its actually a good sign, Fox didn't do this for a few races, and they're including the current car. I'll cut them a pretty big break, they're effectively starting from scratch with this production crew and they're improving every week.
I'm "new" to this (getting back into motorsports after a long time of not following it) so I'm rooting for Colton Herta because he's from the place closest to me
>>149220582>Vodka and lemon juiceThat's called a gimlet.
Yes, muh God on father's day.
>guy in fronts car doesn't even start
nice sport
>>149220707Based and /grug/ pilled

>>149220827I chuckle every time I see her. Will married a supermodel and ended up with an average midwestern wife kek
I'm way too drunk for this thing...
Why this nigga Rahal keep driving when all he does is lose?

>>149220164It does look great, for a last minute change to a Sunday night... maybe Indycar has a timeslot
>>149220870>schwartzman wins thanks to the inspiration of witnessing the explosion
Didnโt Liz have some serious heath issues recently
anyone else not have commentary on the Fox stream?
Is F1 scared to run ovals?
>More passes already than an entire road race
Why do people hate /turnleft/ again?
>>149220923like being chunky?
>>149220929I'm pretty sure I remember Lewis Hamilton and Max both say they would never do it.
ran out of talent in the middle of the corner
That was a bad case of running out of talent
>>149220929the FIA fears the power of the oval
>>149220936>>149220970Based Daly is going to get even more positions with the restart.
>>149220954Lewis Hamilton is a bitch. What's Max's problem?
>>149220707>I'm rooting for Colton HertaBased as hell.
>because he's from the place closest to meGood as any reason, really.
>>149220893She's still hot though.
Let's put these Indy cars on Talladega
>>149220954Grosjean said he wouldn't run the ovals when he first moved to Indy but after a season or two he was going to every one.
>>149220990He knows what happened to his father-in-law.
>>149220871>Damn it's not badIt's an old people drink from when alcohol was for adults.
>>149220856She had health problems. They did a whole thing on it on previous race.

>>149221093Ostensibly, yes. She also had a kid though and white women tend to blow up once that happens unless they eat nothing or gym daily.
>>149221103You won't die doing that.
Good morning lads
Wow, an /indy/ race that's not running at midnight for me. Rare
>yfw oval god
Imagine when he finally gets in a Penske
>>149221138who cares. the leaf gp, like every american gp, is shit anyways.
today once again proved that.
...why are we watching devlin run around the paddock?
>>149221138I'm pissed about that. Monaco, Indy, Charlotte back to back to back with no work on Monday makes for one of the comfiest days of the year.
Now they want to do the India 2 GP on that day. They better start at 9am.
>cameraman runs out of talent
I'll be really happy if the eternal jobber finally wins one.
Any webm of the camera man
Someone post that camera man fail
>international broadcast didn't show it
small price to pay
20,000 hp? That's almost as much as two Top Fuel cars!
>>149221318CAMERA MAN JUAN
Damn Newgarden what a move
>>149221300I've told normalfags about how dragsters burn out the spark splugs and basically become diesels halfway down the strip. They are not remotely intrigued.

>>149221404Have he and Cody Rhodes ever met?
>>149221394Year, normies literally have no idea how shit more complicated than a hammer works.
robert so mad about the 24 he poured nitrous in the tank
>>149221432Its Geese Howard meeting Guy Gardner

>>149221602She couldn't accept the TV was fucked. Asked me to try different cables and shit. Her husband died of cancer a week ago so I feel bad, but I can tell I'm falling into a trap. She always comes up with a reason to talk to me when I'm about to leave. She's had me over 4 times this weekend.
>>149221617christ can you imagine the smell?
>direstone
You just killed my boy power's whole career
I have the race muted atm. Was it Will fucking up or did something break?
he retired over that tiny bump?
>>149221608Preach, brother. I put a candle out with my fingers just the other day.
chevy figure out a 2d logo challenge
The restart snakes are always pure kino.
>>149221634I lived next to an old woman. She would always come over and ask me to look at shit and there was never really anything wrong with it. "I heard it beep" or "it wasn't working yesterday" She's just lonely anon.
>>149221646Front right failed. Not Willโs fault.
I knew this race would be good and I wish I went here instead of the 500 this year

penske determined to fix something in his favor today
sanded attenuator is working well
>lil dave
Penske are the big boys on ovals
>>149221706>>149221750If NASCAR would stop blocking Indy from using their tracks, we'd get even more bangers
>>149221776That's metaphorical "fire"
Only Rossi was ACTUALLY on fire
>>149221740Conor and Santino run through the whole field
Power went off after a tire gave up
Lil Dave was cooking until Penke got him with the yellow flag pits
>>149221776I knew it! Ty!
>>149221634yeah my old neighboor would have me come over and fix something that really didnt need to be fixed and we'd shoot the shit about old cars, just wants someone to talk too.
>>149221802america is strange
>those grandstands
Roger needs to find a way to bring people to the tracks again
>>149221784Kentucky literally hasn't had any big races in years. Please, let IndyCar run there.
>>149221634Just be a friend anon, its good for your soul
>>149221826changing the race time on short notice doesn't help either
>>149221818they smoke a lot of weed in Jamacia or is that just bants
>>149221750For me it's the Bristol night race, Coke 600, and the coke zero 400
>>149221777It's a good point. But you can see more on short ovals. I liked Milwaukee last year more than the mid 500 this year. But the speed on the super speedways is really something else
>>1492218267pm on Sunday is an odd race time.
>>149221750Good morning, fren.
>>149221826all these massive oval grandstands were built in a time where tobacco company sponsors would hand out free tickets and there weren't as many entertainment options. they're way too big for 2025.
>>149221826Believe it or not I've seen a lot grimmer. Sunday doesn't seem like a great day for a night race (though the sunset transitioning to night is mega kino to watch).
>>149221826to be fair, most of the money made at the track goes to them
all the real money is endorsements and TV/streaming deals
Packed grandstands are based and increase hype but thats on the track to promote too right?
I'm so thankful that indycar has no stages
>>149221860>But the speed on the super speedways is really something elseI really want to see them at Indy one day.
listen here kiddo
when two cars want the win
sometimes a penske and a penske hit each other
>>149221826>>149221884Gonna be honest, this is as good as I've seen it here. Run all of the races on Sunday night.
>>149221896stages are for rallying only
>>149221883Richfag detected
>>149221896I'm cancelling my fandom if they ever do. But they'll have enough pay drivers to cause yellows on ovals at least
>>149221896They still have some artificial rules about closing the pits during yellows and waving lapped cars around, but it's a tolerable level of fakeness
>>149221858I live in Bristol but I've never been to a race there since I'm not a nascar fan. I'm going to the MLB game there in August though.
>>149221916I recommend turns 1 or 3 no matter how low instead of 4 or 2
>>149221896As a /turnleft/ native that has been watching more /indy/ recently... I agree
>>149221829They'd have to clear the F-150s off the track first.
Fontana looks done at this point and I hate to see it go. It was such a good track but muh real estate wins again
>>149221879Morning mate

Why do F1 people hate Buxton so much? He's done a fantastic job since he started here. He is great at play by plays, he notices a lot of really good stuff and he asks insightful questions.
>>149221858You meant to say the World 600 and Firecracker 400.
we need more races at sunset, the sky looks beautiful
I hate seigel so fucking much its unreal
>>149221962Yeah these are my favorite races. I like them way better than in the afternoon.

he was basically the face of liberty media taking over f1. that and the netflix show are why people hate him.
>>149222058Incredibly pretty sky
>>149221949new fans hate him because hes a bit dramatic and waffles
oldheads know him from SPEED and like him
i miss SPEED
Why can't Honda into short ovals

Is the Brit onnthe Sky1 stream that covers the Fox commercials one of the Super Formula/Super GT anouncers?

I liek will buxton because hes apparently a big fan of candy and sweet foods and so am i

Holy fuck, that was hilarious how they were showing Newgarden looking like a Chad, and then hard cut to him being totally fucked.
THE MUSIC PLAYING ON THE AD TO NEWGARDEN ON THE ROOF WAS WTF
The onboard was really something
>>149222211oh no mccockland might actually win it
I thought they were showing an old replay at first.
Fucking shitter crash, I knew it

HOLD YOUR FUCKIN BRAKES
>>149222241Hats off to the producer for cutting back
Now they can run commercials
>>149222301The worst would have been if it nosedived into the gap between the walls and started somersaulting over
I fucking hate when a back marker takes out the leader
Tire failed again? I'm blaming the hybrid weight once again
>>149222308lole
>>149222301If this happened at indy he would have flown into pit lane and killed 50 people.
NASCAR's tri-ovals with the big grass island in the center isn't a meme, it's to protect pit lane so the cars exit turn 4 and are angled away from all the people standing in the pit area.
>>149222336does indy have red flags?
>>149222340I think they may have been pushing the stint too long
>>149222247>The onboard was really somethingI almost shid myself.
We are SO lucky Newgarden hit the back of Fosters car.
>>149222346They do, but they didn't put it out here
>>149222348this could turn into that one Texas race, where tires would not stop failing, so the series mandated every car pit and change tires every 20 laps or so
I think that's the one where TK got the Tony Killnan name because he took out like 10 cars in one crash
>>149222363noted but never fly it for a penske unless you know hes dead
>2 RLL cars out 3
Graham took the smart path by running the whole race at 60mph

>>149222398I think so
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Rainguard_Water_Sealers_600
>The 2017 Rainguard Water Sealers 600 was the ninth round of the 2017 IndyCar Series season, contested over 248 laps at the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Charlie Kimball started from the pole position, the first of his career. Will Power of Team Penske won the race, leading 180 of the 248 laps. The race was marred by numerous crashes that left only six undamaged cars and by issues with blistering tires that forced the series to call for competition cautions and mandatory tire stops every 30 laps in the latter stages of the race.
Why are they wearing Daytona coveralls?
>>149222415looking for a scapegoat
the issue is the car that just fucked it into the wall
>>149222407Based, thanks.
>>149222383That was a NASCAR race where the tires couldn't stop blowing. I know because I was in the stands. It took 8 hours and it was the worst experience of my life
>>149222470It was also an /indy/ race:

Makes me think
>>149222533If a car is hugging the wall, the yellow doesn't come out unless they spin off it and it's clear they're wrecking. Totally reasonable to hold off there, no one expected the car to snap off the wall and spin that fast

my reaction
>>149222556I'm like 90% sure Aaron's from Missouri so yeah. Always played as the Blues in NHL.
>>149222556He's an autistic man who waves the flag real good
https://sports.yahoo.com/indy-500-flagman-living-dream-013753310.html
>>149222556IndyCar has a full time flagman who does every race. He has autism and is open about it in interviews. He used to go out and play in traffic and wave flags as a kid because his dream was to wave flags at races. He wrote a book about his life.
You may not believe this, but it's 100% true
This race looks completely different now

Why is this so much better than fagula?
Little Dave back up to p3
>>149222601Naw that's just the name of his book.
He had a karting career as a teen and IIRC tested late models but story as old as time, family ran out of money.
He realized he could make a career out of being a race official and instructor since it's always needed.
Basically works two jobs, one as a public speaker that gives lectures on how cops can deal with autistic people better, then as a flagman for I think USAC/SKUSA karting plus Indycar.
CONNOR FOR THE FUCKING LEAD
How are they racing like that and still pulling away?!
I literally pumped my fist when Daly took the lead.

>>149224208holy colonization
>>149224218Nice! Several years ago I almost got fucked with work, but I was able to negotiate a weekend swap because someone quit last minute. Hopefully you'll be able to get to Milwaukee next year too, its kino and makes for a wonderful date with a ladyfren.
>>149224257I would go to Milwaukee if I could go to 2, but if I can only go to one race in a year it's Road America no question.
>>149224306That's too bad. One day, fren!
>>149224382I want to go to the Indy 500 someday too but that would be more of an undertaking than going to Road America or Milwaukee
Yap newgoden sabotage. When will Yuros learn to race properly?
>>149224306Milwaukee is a single race this year sadly. They're adding Arlington and renoving Nashville oval while destroying the non-oval racing RIP
>>149224405It is. We went this for two weekends going back in the middle, ran us probably $3000 or more.
>>149224411>Milwaukee is a single race this year sadly.yeah good, I mean no offense if you like double headers but IMO IndyCar should have 20 races on the schedule with no double headers (unless you count Indy GP/Indy 500 as a double header)
>>149224455When they get to the point that more tracks are paying for them, yeah sure. But for me they would need a calendar over 25 weekends long for that.
I also like the idea of short oval double headers.
>>149224442yeah it would be a long drive, a lot of money, and I'd have to take a lot of days off work. when I go to Road America I go for Saturday and Sunday, and take Monday off.
>>149224535I'm 10 minutes from RA so I power through work the next day, same with Milwaukee. Any other race I have drive 6+ hours I get a hotel.
Indy may have been closer $4500 after all the meals, souvenirs and booze. Worth it though
>>149224513if they're gonna end the season in August because stupid football omg muh TV ratings, they need more races early in the season. fuck these 3 week breaks.
>>149224576>I'm 10 minutes from RAlucky, I live on the opposite side of Wisconsin, 3 hour drive for me
>>149224580From your lips to God's ears
>>149224599East Central Wisconsin beckons. How close are you to Des Moines?
>>149224513>I also like the idea of short oval double headers.business idea: do the double header, but in 1 day, one race in the morning, one race at night.
>but what if somebody crashed their car in the morning and the crew can't get it repaired for the night racedon't crash then
>>149224179hadn't realized it was him in the siemens car until the end, broadcast didn't bother to mention it either
>>149224723I'm all for gimmicks, but easoecially after tonight, give me two night races, I'll get a hotel if its too mcuh
>>149224743Damn I was excited to get another angle but typical IndyCar rotating onboard obscuring anything but that there were two cars near each other.
>>149224706>How close are you to Des Moines?I'm right on the border with Minnesota. I googled the drive times:
>Iowa Speedway4 hours 9 minutes
>Road America3 hours 11 minutes
>Milwaukee Mile3 hours 3 minutes
>>149224822also
>Indianapolis Motor Speedway6 hours 44 minutes
my closest race would e Portland and I can't decide if I want to go or not
do ovals in the southern hemisphere turn right?
>>149224882I promise you going to your closest IndyCar race is worth it.
>>149224925I went to all three of the Baltimore GPs when I lived near there. They were fun, but man... the portland races are always so weird. And I'd miss watching it with you guys
>>149224909unless it's single seaters, it depends if the cars are left hand drive or right hand drive. you want the driver's side to be on the inside of the corner and away from the outside wall. at the oval at Calder Park in Australia (AKA the Thunderdome) they would run clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on the cars.
>>149224822Ouch. I don't even really know what's out in Western WI, I wouldn't trade where I'm at for anything.
>>149224882You want to go, believe me. Take your Dad, or brother, or bff. Even boring Indy races are a blast in person.
>>149225187Eh, I have no family near me, and no friends, so I'd have to go alone.
>tfw forgot all about this race
I'm an idiot. Can't believe I forgot to watch it.
>>149225200Take a local qt
>>149225273You missed out
>>149225168I like where I live too. if I moved east it would be a longer drive to the Twin Cities for hockey games (go Minnesota Wild).
side note, IndyCar tickets are a way better bang for the buck compared to NHL games. Saturday AND Sunday tickets at Road America are about the same cost as somewhat decent seats (not on the glass but not in the nosebleeds) at the Xcel Energy Center. for a game that lasts like 2 hours.
>>149225273dude.. it was the best one of the year, i might watch it again once it's on YT
>>149225283lol I don't know any women
>>149225187>>149225200I go with my Dad to IndyCar but I kinda want to go to IMSA, especially now that Road America will have a 6 hour race. but I'd have to do it alone because Dad thinks multiple class racing is too confusing...
I miss when IndyCar at Road America had better support races. you'd have stuff like Pirelli World Challenge (now GTWC America, they have their own RA weekend now), Mazda MX-5 Cup or Trans-Am. now it's just the Road to Indy, Radical Cup, and Vintage Indy (parading around but not actually racing)
>>149225287Yeah if I had grown up there I might see it differently. Still East Central has tons of things to do from RA to EAA to boat races and all kinds of stuff.
>>149225297Not even flirty with a coworker? A cashier even? Women actually like going to races, they're outside in the summer, lots of people, and they can soend lots of time with their man.
>>149225336Last Endurance race at RA I went to was thr Tudor Sportscar Championship in '15. They actually announced the return of Indycar at taht race kek. They've come a long way since then to make soectating easier. This year will still be 2.5 hours tho
>>149225407Part of that was making room on the calendar for Xfinity and then Cup races. Shame they left, but RA wasn't exactly thrilled with Nascar either.
>>149225422Road America should have been on the schedule from year one of CART/IRL reunification.
>>149225462idk about asscar, but I think when SRO took over World Challenge they probably didn't want to play second fiddle to IndyCar and got their own race weekend
>>149225422Nope, no women in my life at all. At work, I'm the only person on my team so I never interact with anyone else. I don't really meet people out of work either. I'm really bad at it.
>>149225422>Women actually like going to racesI feel like my sister would like Road America (she goes to races at the local short track with my Dad sometimes) but my Mom would hate it
>>149225467I don't disagree, but neither the series or the track was in any position to have a race there.
>>149225492I don't really know the politics of any of the GT series, but Nascar leaving absolutely fucked the July/August (IIRC) portion of their calendar.
>>149225505Well, you have time. If you meet a woman whose kinda flirty with you (that isn't their job, like a waitress), not much works better than "hey, I have an extra ticket to the Indycar race at Portland, wanna go with me?" At a minimum you'll meet the No Singles policy.
>fucked up sleep schedule cause Le Mans lol
>forgot indy was on
we'll get them next time...
>>149225555They like them when they're young and attractive. Older women don't like it because its hot, they have to walk a lot and wait in line to pee. Unless they're RV camping they stop going when their looks fade because they see qts absolutely everywhere.
>>149225573>I don't disagree, but neither the series or the track was in any position to have a race there.fair, but look at the attendance when IndyCar finally went back. and every year since.
>>149225573well I don't actually live in Portland, so it's like a 3 hour drive and then staying in a hotel for 3 nights (I said PIR was my closest... not that it was close). I'm not going to invite some random woman to do that with me
But honestly, I'll think about it though, maybe I'll just go alone
>>149225614>walk a lotmy Dad hates that too but he's dumb, if you don't want to walk you just wait for the shuttle to come by, idiot.
>wait in line to peeRoad America has plenty of bathrooms, sure some times a busier than others but I had to take a shit last year and only missed like 5 minutes of the race.
>>149225597the race will be up on YouTube in a day or two
>>149225648>3 hour drive>hotel for 3 nights? 1 night if you go for Saturday qualifying + Sunday race (maybe 2 nights if you get drunk Sunday)
>>149225781I'd go for Friday practice too, but yeah I guess I don't need to get there that early. 2 nights would be enough.
>>149225795does PIR charge extra for paddock access? (Road America doesn't)
>>149225626No doubt, but they needed Nascar money to pay for the Indycar event to get it off the ground. I also forget when the family sold the track, but new owners have been hardcore investing in it.
>>149225648Definitely go. Plus if you do things, women think you're not as weird.
>>149225711I wasn't just referring to RA, though my mother can't take the 6-8 miles we walk every year. She struggles at ovals even, but you'll notice the older the guy, the more likely he has a son or grandson with him. Possibly a daughter, but less common.
>>149225795I'm very much pro-hotel for every night I'm there, Friday Saturday and Sunday night, drive back on Monday. But my minimum outside of WI is like 6 hours.
>>149225573>I don't really know the politics of any of the GT seriesit's a mess, yeah they work together on regulations for LMH/LMDh/GT3/GT4 but WEC, IMSA, and SRO are all competing for market share, especially that sweet gentleman driver money. and in Asia SRO also competes with Super GT GT300 and Super Taikyu.
>>149220099 (OP)>>149220809Jesus christ, did they try to nuke the place this year? Lmao
TOLD you it would be good, Stone told steve austin
>>149225943it was a good race but a boring ending because still only 2 drivers have won races this year
>>149225906And here I thought SRO was some fly-by-night operation that hasn't been around for more than a few years.
>>149225901>new owners have been hardcore investing in itoh for sure, every year I go I see they've made some new improvements to the track and/or facilities.
>>149225950>only two drivers have won>not only are they not even close to fighting for the championship, one of them isn't even second in pointsJust awful
>>149225956SRO (Stรฉphane Ratel Organisation) has been around since like 1994, back then it was the BPR (Jรผrgen Barth, Patrick Peter, Stรฉphane Ratel). they brought GT racing back to prominence in sports car racing after FIA killed Group C. but then GT1 and GT2/GTE got out of hand due to manufacturers throwing money at it and blah blah and here we are, GT3 is now the top class of GT racing. (don't be fooled by the SRO's new "GT2" class, it's not the same as old GT2, really more like GT3.5)
>>149225976Kirkwood is fast but Andretti spaghetti's too much to beat Palou and Ganassi. and Penske is NOWHERE. they're having their worst year in decades. karma for all the cheating and conflicts of interest.
>>149226039Doesn't help that the specs are pretty arbitrary. How different is a GT2 car to a GT3 really? Higher horsepower, but do to forced induction or displacement? What prompted the new set of rules. You'll have to do a deep dive the general, or libk me a comprehensive history from somewhere.
>>149226091>new GT2 has higher horsepower than GT3>but GT3 has faster lap times due to more grip from aerotl;dr: new GT2 is a gentleman driver track toy and it will not replace GT3 as the top GT class for pro/pro-am sports car racing. Ratel should have picked a different name.
>>149226091There are no real classes in spurdo car, only target performance windows that you have to at least pretend your car fits in. GTE only died because the market could not support GTE and GT3 becoming practically the same thing.
GT2 is basically a modernized version of early GT3 before it became super aero heavy and expensive for no good reason because under the old economic rules GT3 would have killed itself years ago.
>>149220164Why did you kill them all with napalm then?
