was there evera cautionfree 500?


Pre 1979 they used a "PACER" yellow lights system. The shortest time under yellow was 8 mins in 1949 and 1950. So I would say no, never have they had an incident free race.

This will be caution free until the final laps, and then a stupid incident causes this to finish under yellow

I knew this: nothing happens for the first 100 laps, I change to watch the hockey game (Finland can win the championship) and Indy 500 gets mental.

I love your enthusiasm for pessimism. This is a great race.

Dixon and JPM playing the distance game... could be interesting at the end! Cross flags. This one is halfway done already.

Waiting for the obligatory, Scott Dixon is really good at saving fuel because he did all the Toyota testing in the CART days, story...

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Cars look incredibly stable. Not many visible bobbles at all.

I'm anti RHR, Marco, and Helio so this top 3 is pretty much the worst thing ever for me.
