Will we see another chaotic race? 2021 and 2022 saw an average of 8.5 caution periods, 1.5 red flags, and 43% of the races under yellow flag conditions. I think today will be a bit calmer, but there will be enough caution time to hamper someone’s strategy.

I look fo the winner to come from the first two rows this time. A win for Alex Palou would be huge as he would extend his large championship lead. Pato O’Ward and Colton Herrta are looking for their first win of the season, and Scott McLaughlin usually has a good tace when he starts up front.

How will Linus Lundqvist fare in his Indycar debut? He has exceeded expectations so far this weekend. I hope he has a clean race and finishes well.

Tire Selections

With yesterday’s limited practice time, it looks as if most of the field wants to get the alternate tires out of the way early. 2 cars are starting on the greens.

I will be back late this afternoon with a race wrap up. Enjoy the race.
