Pick the Podium: IndyCar - Iowa Corn 300, 2016

[Retroram52]

After a little two-week break, the Indy boyz are in Iowa this week-end. This is the track Ryan Hunter-Reay has a good success at and he likes the track. Should be interesting as Scott Dixon, Will Power, and Tony Kanaan have had success here as well.

 

[Retroram52]

Qualifying and the race are hours apart on the same day. So this could be a lot of guesswork.

 

[Retroram52]

This is a crap shoot. I'll go with Kanaan, Hunter-Reay, Pagenaud.

Give me:

Pagenaud
Rahal
Dixon

 

[IndyAndy]

Newgarden
Pagenaud
Kanaan

 

[Retroram52]

I am working way too much. Somehow I thought qualifying was on the same day as the race. Geez.

On second thought, I'll go with Pagenaud, Kanaan, Hunter-Reay.

 

[Retroram52]

This ought to be interesting. Anybody can win this race if there are no major wrecks or mechanical failures.

 

[Retroram52]

Shoot, Hinchcliffe is starting dead last and he could win it.

 

[Retroram52]

All are pulling 5Gs.

 

[Retroram52]

Newgarden passes Pagenaud for the lead. This is a long race indeed.

 

[Retroram52]

Kanaan is passing everyone.

 

[Retroram52]

Newgarden now has caught the back of the field.

 

[Retroram52]

Pit stops are beginning.

 

[Retroram52]

Hunter-Reay blows a motor and there goes that selection.

 

[Retroram52]

Pagenaud was beginning to eat into Newgarden's lead.

 

[Retroram52]

Big Yellow to clean up the oil from Hunter-Reay's engine failure. Smart move by Hunter-Reay to keep and park the car up in the marbles.

 

[Retroram52]

The top three on lap 123 are Newgarden, Pagenaud, and Castroneves.

 

[Retroram52]

Montoilet expires for the day.

 

[Retroram52]

Newgarden looks as though he is the class of the field today.

 

[Retroram52]

Kanaan and Power are battling for third at lap 200.
