Good morning from St. Pete. Today IndyCar and Indy NXT comprise the bun around a NASCAR Truck sandwich.
I am sort of okay with the two series sharing a weekend, but I think IndyCar is better served having a standalone opening weeken
The weather has cleared and it appears the threat of rain is gone for the weekend.
Scott Dixon’s car can be repaired, so the teams will not have to go to a backup.
Mazda MX-5 Cup just finished their first race of the weekend. Bobby Gossett won. Earl bamber finished 8th and Sebastien Bourdais came home 11th. This series concludes the weekend program with race 2 at 4 pm tomorrow.
I’ll be back after IndyCar practice. The format remains the same as yesterday, butthe group morder is rversed.
Today’s practice groups.
AQualifying groups will be out later.
