Today’s schedule:
Today’s weather via @Indycar_Wxman
It’s a beautiful day for a race. Mild temperatures with minimal rise throughout the day.
History may be made today. Alex Palou might continue his scorched IndyCar march into a tie for second most wins in a season, or David Malukas might win his first IndyCar race.
David Malukas experienced a mechanical issue during final practice yesterday afternoon. It appeared to be either suspension or a wheel problem. he should be good to go today.
From yesterday:
Tire wear is the phrase of the day. A set looks to ast somewhere around 60 laps, which means at least a three stop race. Four stops is a good possibility.
If the backup at the gate when I arrived at 8 am is any indication, there will be a very good crowd on hand for the race. It is nice to feel a race day atmosphere at a track other than IMS. It doesn’t happen often at other ovals.
Starting Lineup
The lineup after penalties nhave been assessed:
I am still going with Malukas to et his first win today.
Enjoy the race.
