Tommy Kendall thinks they enter the corners at 250mph.

Indycar would have woken up eventually, it was just a matter of time before something happened.

This will probably end up being like the Trucks last night where they got quiet spread out, but after about 30 laps if they got side by side, the guy on the inside couldn't keep it down there and wrecked them both.

I don't disagree with what they've done, but maybe they've gone a little too far if the drivers can't even keep the car under control running on their own. All they've done is swapped roles, the drivers have decided what downforce package to run this time, without actually testing it properly, that's no different to what Indycar did at Vegas really.

Is there bad weather in the area or something? cos they seem to be ploughing through this pre-race stuff pretty quick.

Either that or I've just got used to the slowness of NASCAR :lol:

Ed Carpenter still towing his Daddy's party line about the aero changes, saying he prefers the old style of pack racing.

Anything to do with it being easier Ed, so terrible drivers like you can trick their way into 2nd place finishes without having any talent at all is it?


He needs to defend oval pack racing as much as he can given how awful he is on the road courses...

They're mad at the wrong person. Don't kill the messenger.

Uh-oh, someone got hurt putting the stage up.

not a good bit of foreshadowing, if you believe in that stuff.
