The 96th running of the Indy 500 coming up shortly on ABC.
So sweet! I’ll miss the Charolette race because I have to sleep before I go to work.
Shoot out on the way...did Tony get to adjust his wing?
here we go...hope its clean the rest of the way....and the Target cars go 2nd/3rd...
Wild restarts.. dang
Dario grabs the lead
where the hell were the ABC cameras????
Sato tries to go inside, rubs wheels with Dario, and spins out, smacks the wall..
FRanchitti the winner then Dixon and Kanaan
FRanchitti..CRAP...three wins- everyone under yellow...BS
Ashley will be so thrilled. :-}
What an end!! Sato a little too eager! At least he’s OK !
they just interviewed that gasbag...f- her
Sato nibbled on the white line and it bit back..
Nice run.. if he had held it,, he was gonna win.
The nice thing, she won’t be at Charlotte tonight. :-]
but Danica will.. lol
You know the 500 is really just too darn fast, totally different from a major superspeedway NASCAR race. You blink and the Indy is over nowadays, I also have to remember to allow extra time for my race recordings, especially extended rain delays!
What is the worst is when recording a race postponed the next day, its not listed so I have to create a manual timer.
I have been waging a private war against commercials for years, I even at one time years ago experimented with recording a race, playing it to record on the old VHS and then manually editing out all the commercials, now I can just plug in my little digital timer to my remote by a USB plug and when a commercial break occurs I hit my preset interval jump time of say 4 minutes and 5 seconds and it passes all the commercials, used to be on the Dish remote you can jump but its not by much, only about 30 seconds.
Milk, anyone?
did not want Franchitti to win but to his credit he held that line during the bump...
Good point,, contact at close to 200 is not good
Was it also a little bit of a Kyle Busch move by Dario? Hard to tell but Sato should have waited. Maybe he knew he didn’t have the moxie...
Back before they destroyed CART, the Mercedes entries could do 240 in the backstretch.
Very sad that Francitta man bumbed the little Japeneses man and made him lose
16 cars finished on the lead lap- almost half the field with two cars black flagged- that is tremendous...
Imagine if the socialist greeners have their way the future Indy 500 will have electric cars only.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm down the front stretch!
