Went to the Phoenix cup race today.

Absolute clinic by CBell.

The option tire made for some drama early in the race, but in the end the best cars finished towards the front. It's probably a bit of a gimmick as the option was lasting almost a full fuel run. Don't think it would be good for the championship race .

The sheer amount of huge wrecks so far at Indy is alarming

This Robert Shwartzman guy looks like he could make things interesting at the 500. Rookie driver, has never raced on an oval, rookie team, pole position start.

Do you think it's the extra weight of the hybrid system making them that edgy?

The guys doing the crashing don't normally do the crashing.

Stupid rain delay at the Indy. Hopefully they can get going soon.

I actually like the Indycar design albeit the oval aero package does not look as good as the higher down force package.

Brutal mistake by Robert Shwartzman entering his pit box and crashing into the wall while taking out half of his crew. His race is over now due to damage.

Kind of sucks to see two back markers neuter a fight for the lead.

Watching Detroit grand prix. I take it back. These cars look great. Obviously was only the oval package I did not like much

I still think IndyCar not homologating with F2 is a huge missed opportunity.

That was a big shunt for Alex Bowman.

Thank God for the SAFR barrier

SVG is having a great day considering that he was supposedly pretty sick before the race. The rain definitely impacted the race significantly but I really like what I am seeing at the track in Mexico.
