Pick the Podium: IndyCar - Phoenix Grand Prix, Phoenix, AZ, 2016

[Retroram52]

Good grief, I wish I didn't have to work. I'd be at PIR watching the festivities all week-end. The boyz are back in town and this ought to be and interesting race. We shall see who prevails as usual.

 

[Retroram52]

Final Practice top three are Castro-Neves, Montoya, and Newgarden.

 

[Retroram52]

Apparently qualifying has produced Castroneves, Kanaan, and Montoya. I don't know about this race. A lot of people with loose conditions. This is a night race tomorrow night. I'll get my picks in before I go to work tomorrow morning.

 

[Retroram52]

Andretti Autosport has named Townsend Bell as the fifth driver for the Indy 500. The other four are: Ryan Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti, Carlos Munoz and Alexander Rossi.

 

[IndyAndy]

I'll take:

Montoya
Kanaan
Carpenter

It's a crap shoot

 

[forty_three]

I'll take

Rahal
Montoya
Dixon

 

[Retroram52]

I'll take Montoya, Castroneves, Hunter-Reay. It really is a crap shoot Indy.

 

[Retroram52]

On second thought, I'll take Montoya, Castroneves, Dixon. Final entry.

 

[Retroram52]

Dixon takes it with Pagenaud finishing second, and Power third. I got one out of order. That was such a crap shoot. Holy Cow!

 

[forty_three]

They should have just drawn numbers out of a hat . Only way the result could have been more mixed up. No way anyone could have predicted that outcome.

Pretty impressive that there were four guys who lost tires or drifted up to the wall and didn't crash.

 

[IndyAndy]

Here is how we did:

forty_three & Retroram52: One point each - Got Dixon out of position.

SEASON TOTALS SO FAR:

forty_three: 9 points
Retroram52: 8 points
IndyAndy: 5 points.

Next Up: Long Beach, on April 17th.
