After all the hype for a massive World Cup lead-in,…well, it’s just the Most. IndyCar. Delay. Ever. Glad we’re back at it right now on a Monday but sad we didn’t get that night race we almost got!
Been in the paddock all day at @COTA as chaplain for the CMRA Superbike Challenge. Now I’m skipping the Willie Nelson concert, grabbing dinner at @AlexanderRossi ‘s favorite restaurant, and going to my hotel to watch the recap for @IndyCar qualifying at @Mid_Ohio ! What a Fourth!
@wbuxtonofficial This Montreal-Indy shared weekend is turning out to be pretty cool for getting former/current F1 drivers to pop over to Speedway after their race. Given our drivers went to F1 at Miami, it's nice they returned the favor. We need more Indy-F1 teams like @ArrowMcLaren / @McLarenF1.
@Motor_Sport Oh the old record was nearly a half a second before? Little Al was practically running away with it compared to this finish. Crazy comparison!
@marshallpruett@RACERHQ Bit shocked by Mick's very American-style reaction here instead of the unfazed, practical German-style reactions we've been getting all month. Either he's been coached well by RLL PR or race day finally hit him. Suspect it's a bit of both.
@tom_blomqvist@MeyerShankRac@HondaRacing_US@IMSA I would love love love if Tom could be part of the INDYCAR expansion for Acura. Enjoyed having him in the series before and feel like he has unfinished business.
@marshallpruett@RACERHQ Hollow promises sound better from Boles than Miles. Sad no momentum behind Mexico. I'd be for Puebla/Fundidora on Cinco de Mayo then The Glen w/NASCAR on Mother's Day, weekend with Indy GP a post-season Harvest Classic (8-lap heats, 20-lap B-main, 41-lap A-main all-star race).
