@Team_FRM @Mc_Driver @DavidRagan @anthonyalfredo @LovesTravelStop @Select_Blinds @speedycash The 34 car looks strong. Sucks up in draft well. Works with other Fords well. Getting shuffled at the end cost an even better finish but such is racing. Good things might be in store on Sunday for @Mc_Driver.

@nascarcasm Fort Wayne Browns has a nice ring to it

@Lt_Spirit65 @KoreyL_ME28 @IndyCar Could also have been Rule 9.3.1 regarding improper conduct and nothing to do with the 14.7.6.1 or 4. Race damage could also explain it, but there was no mention of improper conduct/intentional acts/cheating.

0ne thing I do appreciate about CGR is they are good with no scandals.

@MichaelHatzl37 @IndyCarOnFOX @IndyCar @wbuxtonofficial Its been an international affair since the beginning, with the race's original name The International 500 Mile Sweepstakes. This was the 18th consecutive 500 to have at least 10 different nationalities competing. Greatest race in the WORLD.

THE CLOSEST FINISH IN INDIANAPOLIS 500 HISTORY!

IT'S FELIX ROSENQVIST! 🏁

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

@RyanMyrehn Congrats on the first 500 in Turn 4. Great job! Not that you could see me, but I waived when you said people were waiving at you. Turn 4 is in good hands for years to come!

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

I love this place.

HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE 🤯

This was a phenomenal exchange with @PatricioOWard in his media day press conference yesterday. Some superb insights about defying the danger of Indianapolis 👇 #Indy500

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

@500Indy1911 @PrizePicks I think it is their pit stop competition car.

@bobpockrass That command has always been given by someone from the ownership group of the facility or the owner themselves. Roger Penske has done it since taking ownership. That won't change anytime soon.

Alexander Rossi wreck from the Turn 2 Suite #indycar #indy500

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

@jakequery Because the other two cars at the back have no speed while the 20 car would have an official speed, just a new driver. That's why 31st and not 33rd.

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

@By_NathanBrown Any replacement driver in this scenario would start 31st, correct? Since the car they are taking over actually has a qualification speed, they would start in front of the cars that were DQ'd, correct?

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

@TylerWong65 @IMS @MillerLite Probably should move this up an hour or two to avoid the incoming storms.

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

@howard2112 @500Indy1911 Abel avoids the Last Row.

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

@500Indy1911 I believe this changes the Fastest Rookie award winner

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

Kudos to this yellow shirt for not stopping the kids from rolling a baseball up and down the advertising tarp. Kids are really enjoying themselves. That's what is about.

Fast 6
Most Recent Poles by Car Number
5 - 2016 Hinchcliffe
10 -2023 Palou
12 - 1961 Sachs
14 - 1975 Foyt
20 - 2018 Carpenter
60 - 1995 Brayton

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

It is possible that the pole sitter and last place starter are from the same team. I don't think that had ever happened organically. Penske had cars first and last in 1978 but Mario replaced Hiss and moved to rear. It wasn't based on speed.

[Charley Smith @ccsmith1989]

@jhall1455 I think all is well. They also pulled Harvey but cars were released.

Potential post qualifying tech issues for Marcus Ericsson. Pulled out of tech line by INDYCAR.
