I know it's probably been mention millions of time, but this will be the first time the Indy 500 will be broadcast on NBC in the states.

Alonso and McLaren bumped from Indy.

I saw that on TV. That is Goliath (McLaren and Alonso) losing to David (Juncos and Kyle Kaiser)!

It makes me wonder what ABC is broadcasting today, since they carried the Indy 500 for years going back to the 1970s.

I checked, it is a bunch of infomercials (Cindy Crawford and crepy skin etc) followed by the Gran Prix of Monaco at 2:30 CDT.

good race

Was hoping for a Rossi win but Pagenaud had the power and strategy.

Is anyone still following the series? Some really bone headed driving the last few races. Newgarden hanging on for the championship.

ECR Update: no word on who splits the 20 car on the road/street circuits after the release of Spencer Pigot; but it won't be Niko Hulkenberg

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Linus Veekay confirmed for ECR AS Spencer Pigot's replacement in the 21

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

another stunning change: Sebastian Bourdais released by Dale Coyne Racing, following the recent trend of Hinchcliffe and Pigot;

Mathieus Leist to IMSA, will not return to Indycar and AJ Foyt Racing/4

 

[hockey diva]

Alonso and McLaren will try again at Indy.

I grew up in Indianapolis so I followed Indy racing for a while then stopped when I moved to TN 20+ years ago. I started following Indy again this past season. I like the speed and the more level playing field vs F1.

Race:9-Dixon;

 

[PanniniClaus]

on right now... these 2020 Dallara's look like no other indycar we've ever seen.

New aeroscreen.

Were the Detroit races just an exhibition? I understand the season has been jumbled but I really don't know what is going on.

I like the idea of the new safety equipment, the aeroscreen, especially when they are running 200 mph at Texas.

The Detroit races they showed were from last year.

Okay, thanks! I missed the first 10 or 15 minutes of the actual race last Saturday.

As a RHR fan, I was a little disappointed, but it was a good race tonight.
