Looks like a weather delay. Will Larson have to bail on Indy to make the NASCAR race and hope weather delays the Indy 500 till Monday?

The GREATEST spectacle in racing- to quote the great Sid Collins.

Race probably won’t start until 4:30/5PM EST

I think indy is a wash for today....no pun intended.

There is a time window for Larson so he may have to fish or cut bait eventually.

I went to the Indy 500 in 1981. The skies opened up after the race was over.

Wild race in ‘81- big fire in the pits and Mears car and pit crew caught fire...

I was there in 2015. Sprinkles in the morning then it was sunny and 85 degrees all day. I always loved this race but loved it even more when i was at the race- besides the incredible atmosphere there were people wearing t-shits with the map of the US on it and the saying “BACK TO BACK WORLD WAR CHAMPIONS!!”

Absolutely a piece of Americana, this race

Yes, 81 was the year that Danny Ongais had the terrible crash coming out of turn 3. I was in the infield at the exit of turn 4 and I could feel that crash in my chest.

legs sticking out of the front of the destroyed car...worse than watching Salt Walther’s legs spin around after his crash in ‘73
