Different men, from vastly different backgrounds, focused on the same goal - a white line painted on a yard of brick 500 miles ahead.

@chef_kyle23 @mikekitchel Based upon what metric?

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

I absolutely LOVE that the formal #Indy500 winner photo @IMS has @FRosenqvist's @MeyerShankRac car in its non-cleaned-up, as-raced condition. I haven't seen the Victory Celebration photos of the car, but I really, really hope they leave it like this and put it in the @IMSMuseum.

The morning after…

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

@DaveBartrom On lap 200 as well? First guy since Greg Ray to hit the wall twice in the same race… but this time in the span of 5 laps?

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

One thing I haven’t seen anywhere, but I saw and heard myself… SOMEONE near back of pack hit the wall exiting T1 on lap 200. I was shocked #IndyCar didn’t throw a yellow. I haven’t seen anyone else mention it and haven’t seen a video. Anyone else know who it was?

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Video taken from my son’s Meta glasses. You can hear the bang at 39 seconds.

Also listen to this crowd at the end. I don’t remember ever hearing it like this since @TonyKanaan won in 2013. Deafening!

Bonus… you can hear @wbuxtonofficial @IndyCarOnFOX call from our scanner.

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

This was my 38th #Indy500 and at least the fifth one where the meteorologists said there was no way the race was going to be run. I know 1993, 1998, and I think 2016 fell into those categories.

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Anyone know what happened to @h3lio? He was running in Top 10 near the end, then I looked up and he’s suddenly I. Rosenqvist’s pit celebrating at the end

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Absolutely unreal race. Here your view from Turn 1 @IMS. #Indy500

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

@champwebdotnet They don’t have the speed even if they did have the tires. This will be Malukas v Palou

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Are you on the edge of YOUR seat??? #Indy500 @IMS #IndyCar

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Taking Newgarden out of the front of the pack will definitely hurt Malukas as ScottyMac just hasnt shown the speed to keep up. Unless Lil Dave and Conor become BFFs, it’s going to be really hard to hold back the Ganassi/psuedo-Ganassi triumvirate.

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Dang. Rookie move by Newgarden there and SOMEHOW Dixon avoided that. Whoa!!

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Car 18 to back of field for passing a car under yellow at pit in.

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

If Bryan Herta is to be believed, we should have 35 minutes until real rain. These next 30-40 could be NUTS!

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Engines to restart at 14:35.

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Race is now official. We ain’t coming back tomorrow.

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Does anyone short fuel here if rain is coming?

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Oof. Bad stop for Rossi. Second stop required for Rasmussen. Crash for Carpenter. Not a good 5 minutes for ECR.

[Paul Dalbey @Fieldof33]

Rossi. Pit stops. It’s a thing.
