@whatsundersteer At 11 cautions, that’s only 4.9 laps per caution, which is feel is fine when you talk about a lap or two to open pit road based on collecting the field, debris, safety trucks, etc. 1 lap for lead lap pits, 1 lap for lap down pits, 1 lap for choose and restart.
The 2026 @BommaritoAuto 500 is officially in the books, and what a night it was!
We want to send a huge thank you to the incredible fans from Southwest Illinois, the Metro East, St. Louis, and the passionate traveling fans of @IndyCar. Your energy, your loyalty, and your willingness to be part of something different is what makes this event so special.
Because let’s be honest, Sunday night racing under the lights isn’t “normal.” But then again, we’ve never been a normal race track.
This year, the weather threw everything it had at us, and we had to adjust on the fly more than once. But alongside INDYCAR Race Control, we were determined to go the distance and deliver a show worthy of every single one of you.
To those who powered through both stoppages and stayed until the final lap, you are the heart of this event. Thank you for sticking with us.
And in the end, you were rewarded with history.
A new INDYCAR record—268 passes for position.
And that battle at the front? Pure, old-school, short-track, edge-of-your-seat racing.
It didn’t stop there. Our partners in @INDYNXT and the @USACNation Silver Crown Series brought the drama, the intensity, and the action all weekend long. Every race delivered,and you felt it.
We say it all the time: this is a race track owned by and run by real race fans. This isn’t just what we do,it’s what we love. And none of it happens without you showing up and bringing the passion every single year.
For 10 incredible years, you’ve helped us turn this event into something unforgettable. Together, we’re not just hosting races, we’re creating moments and memories that last a lifetime.
And we are just getting started.
We’ll see you back here in 2027. 🌙🔥🏎️
Thank you, everyone, for the well wishes, support, & love for my brother and our family. I reflect back on the days Kyle and I raced anything we could get our hands on.
I will forever be grateful for the memories we made, the lessons you taught me, and the brotherhood we shared.
Our first taste of #NASCAR in 2026 😊👋
We’re almost 50 days out from the #Brickyard400 presented by @PPG, but a handful of drivers are testing today and tomorrow and the Turn 2 mounds are open!
Prairie Farms Dairy (@PFDairy) will sponsor the huge "Wall of Fire" pre-race explosion that @WWTRaceway does at its NASCAR + IndyCar races, as part of a new deal.
➡️ Prairie Farms, which also works with @IMS on Indy 500 milk bottles, will promote its Red, White & Boom ice cream.
I’ve covered Monaco and I’ve covered Le Mans — but nothing prepared for my first Indy 500 🤯
Some reflections on a week in Indy that brought me such joy and felt like going back to my racing roots, as well as completing my ‘Triple Crown’ 👑

@michael_adams48@allyracing So far he’s maintained pace relatively well on both restarts and I watched him go from like 25th to 20th after the gears broke. It was like all of a sudden we lost a second of pace.
