Are they gonna race today?

Which race will Kyle Larson run? He says he is staying at Indy.

 

[jvett77]

A half hour to go.

 

[redskinsfan1963]

they cleared 125k fans out the stands for storms did,nt they?

 

[Retroram52]

I don't know if they get the 500 in today. Might have to go tomorrow.

 

[Retroram52]

They are 57 laps in with caution. Everybody is in the pits.

 

[Retroram52]

Rosenqvist has a blown engine. A couple of accidents as well.

 

[Retroram52]

StingRay Robb leads. From Idaho and what a name.

 

[Retroram52]

Newgarden takes the back-to-back win. No surprise seeing that his owner owns the damn track.

 

[obxyankeefan]

He'll of a race even if that damn Penske won again.

 

[jvett77]

Most exciting 500 in years especially the finish by Newgarden.

My picks: McLaughlin, Castroneves, Dixon

Results: Dixon - 3rd, McLaughlin - 6th, Castroneves - 20th

Not too shabby.

looks like Mother Nature doesnt like racing. rained at Indy & the 600

 

[Retroram52]

Not too bad jvett. And yep, Schmoopy, the 600 sucked as it was a lot of cautions and then red flag for lightning and rain and then it was called early.

It was late in the evening when I tuned in and could not believe after 10 PM they were sill hoping for a restart. Finally called it at 11:30 PM. Officials said it couldn't have resumed before 1 a.m. These guys really wanted to get this race in.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea jvett. Many of the fans began to wonder on out when the rain showed-up. After awhile, continuing the race becomes pointless especially when the racing was becoming boring. I was watching by boy Eric Jones in the 43. He started at position 34 and raced up to 19 and after two hours, he just couldn't get any higher, so I logged off and went to the sack.
