Well, there wasn't a thread on this, but last year Ed Carpenter nearly won, but was pipped by Ryan Briscoe.

Qualifying's going on right now, the race is tomorrow. RHR had a crash in Qualifying, and Ed Carpenter's actually on provisional pole right now, couple of cars to go in Qualifying.

He takes pole

Very strange session looking at the times. Strange to see a crash too. Wonder if Kanaan had a moment too, because he was well off pace.

Yeah, he almost crashed.

Baguette starting 6th

Kentucky has been quite nice in the past. Let's hope we'll get as exciting race as one week ago.

Maybe a chance for Panther to take a win then? Duno isn't last

Sorry been a tad busy this week; heres some practice footage. Haven't seen RHR's crash yet.

Apparently, Sebastian Saavedra isn't racing tonight: http://www.bryanhertaautosport.com/?p=790

Am I reading between the lines right here? His sponsors bailed out on him thanks to a run of bad results recently and Herta couldn't afford running a driver without $$$? Cause it doesn't seem that neither Herta or Saavedra were going to part ways on strictly sporting grounds...

That's what it sounds like

How long until the lights race?

Assuming the schedule in ET, in two hours.

Vernay will win the championship if he finishes 3rd or better.

Indy lights race starts in 10mins..free stream on race control as usual.

Start waved off.
