Jusrt a few quick notes before I head home. i willhave a full wrap up tomorrow.
Are we seeing the second coming of Scott Dixon? A;lex Palou is the collest customer since Dixon. Seven wins in 55 races. 19 top 5s. Palou has won three of the last four races, and he has been inn the top five innthe last seven races. He has extended his lead to 74 points over Marcus Ericsson.
The race was better than I expected. I was surprised it came down to a fuel race rather than a tire race.
Great drives-
Scott Dixon to fourth from 23rd.
Will Power from 22nd to13th.
Kyle Kirkwood, shiuffled to the back of the field on the opening lap finishing 9th.
A great run by Marcus Armstrong ended with an off track excursion pushed him back to 24th at the end. We haven’t heard the last of him.
Where did Alexander Rossi’s speed go? Rossi led all three practices, but didn’t have the speed for qualifying or the race. A 10th place finish has to be disappointing.
What is it going to take for Colton Herta to win a race? The strategy was one lap off.
Finally a podium for Pato O’Ward. O’ward drove a steady race and didn’t let anything bother him today.
A good day for Rhal letterman Lanigan Racing. Christian Lundgaard finished seventh and Graham Rahal fnished 11th.
Ryan Hunter-Reay was 17th in his ECR debut.
I don’t think Road SAmrica can ever officially sell out, but today’s crowd was about as close as it can come to a full house.
I need to get on the road home. Thanks for following along this weekend. More tomorrow.
