After IndyCar canceled the scheduled Mid Ohio race due to Covid-19 that everyone is scared to death of, the circuit has moved on to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Indy 500, 3 months late. Andretti Autosport and all of his affilliates dominated Practice 1 with 3 cars in the top five. Scott Dixon was the lone non Andretti car. This week should be fun to watch these cars with the driver canopies work their Aero packages for maximum speed.

Marco Andretti sits atop the speeds chart with a 233 mph lap at Indy. Maybe Marco will finally win this race.

Andretti Motorsport has its fingers in 7 cars this year. Marco and RHR remain consistently atop the speed charts. Maybe Marco will finally win this race but his daddy has really increased his chances of winning another Indy 500 as an owner.

Sounds like a real waste of a car then. He doesn't push, can't handle a looser car, and isn't good in a pack. Seems like a nice guy but if he had another last name he'd be doing something else for a living.

Qualifying 1 today has Andretti Motorsport dominating with the only Non-Andretti driver being Scott Dixon in the top 5. Marco is first followed by RHR, Rossi, Hinchcliffe, and Dixon.

Honda kicked ass. Ford needs to get back in this mix. Popularity is starting to grow and Indy racing just doesn't seem legit without Ford in it.

Mario Andretti won once at the Indianapolis 500 in 29 attempts. He finished all 500 miles just five times, including his 1969 Indianapolis 500 victory. The race is notable as it is the only Indy 500 in history where the winning driver ran the whole race on only one set of tires. Andretti finished second in the 1981 Indianapolis 500 by eight seconds behind Bobby Unser.

Grandson Marco finished second in the 2006 Indianapolis 500 becoming the first third-generation recipient of the race's Rookie of the Year Award. Go Marco!

Marco takes the pole followed by Dixon. I think Marco may finally break through and win this race.

My picks are Marco to win it followed by Pagenaud, Casrtronovas, and Sato. Coincidental betting tip: Hurricane Marco due to hit the Gulf on Monday.

Welp Marco being Marco again. Waste of a car at this point. He should just get into the business side of the team. Rossi and Sato touch in the pits. Wondering if there's going to be a penalty on Rossi there.

Don’t understand the stats. At current yellow, Marco listed as -3. Three laps behind? 10 minutes earlier he was listed as -3.1 secs.
Dixon still going strong. Seems he’ll be hard to beat.
