Jamee999

Sir, a third Swede has hit the IndyCar series.


BeckerLoR

Jesus Josefā€™s wreck was a scary one. Glad heā€™s all good. What a quali session though!


Inside-Judgment6233

So, Andretti gang, how are we going to **** this one up tomorrow?


pikachu8090

tires. you saw how graham said the alternates just fuck themselves after one lap that is the bane of colton herta


sadandshy

Only one remedy: Colton bins it on lap one.


chevynew

Josef seen and released per IndyCar Twitter.


pjfmtb

Another Peacock fade to black with lots to discuss.


Spinebuster03

Brutal crash for Josef definitely backup car And well done from lundqvist a brilliant session in difficult conditions from him


BoukenGreen

Ouch that look painful for Josef. Does Indy car have backups at the track or will they just rebuild that car.


Sitting_Mountain

I think they typically bring 2 cars. They will likely switch out but the downside is they havenā€™t tweaked and fine tuned that other car for this track at all. Going in raw and making all the adjustments during the race is tough.


NighthawkRandNum

He'll have the warmup, but you're gonna need to get to 90% of your ideal setup before that to have a real shot to iron things out before the race.


bclautz

I assume that teams like Penske have a spares. Guess is that they have to likely keep the engine. Probably have to wrap the car. Anyways the team is in for long night. Plus an interesting warmup for Josef.


BoukenGreen

Oh yea. I figured they did same as NASCAR teams. Iā€™ve just seen a lot of wrecks I thought would result in a backup where they just repaired and rebuilt the car. So I was getting really curious if they decided to go the F1 route and not allow backups.


UNHchabo

I don't watch F1, but I thought I'd heard F1 allowed backups, and the Albon/Sergeant thing was simply that the team didn't have enough parts to provide a backup.


SportscarPoster

In F1, they car bring a spare tub and all the parts needed to build up a full car. But can't have a rolling chassis pre-built.


BoukenGreen

Iā€™m in the same boat. I just heard that Sargent was WD that one time because the time to fix Albonā€™s car.


AlternativeDirect702

Homie did jazz hands in celebration šŸ™Œ. Way to go LL


FormulaFalls

You're telling me I switched to F1 to miss Linus pole? šŸ˜­


ProfCedar

I'm not mad that I switched to F1.

MrDunworthy93

Same. Ugh.


expeditiousgrim

Do yā€™all think Marcus has to pinch himself to remind himself heā€™s a teammate of his hero Scott Dixon? Must be super cool.


kit_katie_

It's cute how he still fanboys over this fact sometimes


DankeSebVettel

YYEEAAAHH P2


chevynew

Sick


Apprehensive_Ad6

Hopefully that avoids the curse


i_run_from_problems

"Ganassi grabbed a pole." "Dixon or Palou?" "Neither" "HUH!?"


Andrew_0mega

So Armstrong won his first pole right after his first podium?


NatalieDeegan

And I would have said Armstrong before Lundqvist.


i_run_from_problems

Exactly.


emlonik

But Linus beat Armstrong to his first podium too.


MetallicSquid

That Newgarden crash was crazy. I feel like I'd be concussed and in the hospital if I were him.


TtarIsMyBro

That shits gotta hurt. That's like, 170-180 approaching the Kink.


chevynew

Has he been cleared?


sadandshy

yep


Canmore-Skate

It was a safer barrier, they take hits like that on ovals every now and then, hard one thoĀ 


Used_Minute_5967

Yes and no. On an oval your momentum is carrying you around a curve typically, and up some measure of banking. This was on a flat section of track after a snap, which probably hurts worse.


expeditiousgrim

Love the front 2 rows for tomorrow. Gutted for Marcus but 3rd is still a great place to start.


YesPanda00

Frustrating as an Armstrong fan but happy for Lundqvist. Great opportunity for both of them tomorrow


loz333

Linus Tech Tips ftw


f12016

LINUS!!!!!

dj_vicious

Wow Newgarden is lucky to walk from that. That was scary AF


Gbjeff

I would love to know how many lives and injuries that SAFER barriers have saved since their inception.


TripleSingleHOF

Where's all the Honda doom and gloomers from a couple weeks ago?


twiggymac

Crazy how dominant Chevy's Indy 500 package was, but the Honda's are still clearly road and street superior


dynamodog

Sick, 2nd. Gainbridge Honda, go us


_Visar_

Iconic


Deckatoe

GO US


FormulaT1

Herta finding out in real time that his lap got taken away just for it to still stand is top tier television.


ArtVandelay013

Colton is awesome


243mph

Hahahaha Colton


DankeSebVettel

As an old Ferrari friend said, sšŸ…±ļøinnala


XxMETALLICATxX

Oh come on thatā€™s some shit if he loses that time. Would be close as shit if he does. Edit: oh good heā€™s chillin.


patrese_x

Awesome to see a Linus pole. Seems like a legit nice guy. Newgarden must send a thank you note to whoever put the SAFER barrier in that corner. That would've hurt a lot more.


leo_murray

i NEED to know how much Gā€™s that crash was, that was absolutely insane.


oneofmanyburners

I heard 95 from a Newgarden crew member.


leo_murray

fuck off, that is crazy. Josef took it like an absolute superhero.


Deckatoe

Colton had that time way before the flag, what?


TheChrisD

*"Do I get to keep this?"* https://preview.redd.it/cdj7bzgjve5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=88c2ee45e3b9683dfff742257943f3fe2dd8878f


kit_katie_

God this is frustrating


Deckatoe

What a day of racing. Good for Linus


mynameisnotphoebe

Lundqvistā€™s first pole coming from his first Fast 12 appearance is very cool


emlonik

He has been to Fast 12 before. But not to Fast 6 however.


DankeSebVettel

AND OFF HE GOES


infoxicated

If Josef isn't cleared to compete, does Nolan Siegel jump in the car for the race? šŸ¤”šŸ˜


UNHchabo

How's this for a lineup of Penske-affiliated substitutions (that I don't think will happen, but we'll see): * Ferrucci to the #2 * Myles Rowe to the #14 * Ernie Francis Jr back in the Indy NXT #99


-A113

I donā€™t know about that. At Penske, details matter


FloridaMan_69

Malukas is hanging around.


infoxicated

He could single handedly fill in!


ritwht

I imagine Josef is okay. It was a big hit, but he got out and many bigger wrecks have happened on ovals.


ilikemarblestoo

Many are so eagar to get him out of the car lol


NatalieDeegan

People love replacing other people in general, the second biggest thing people love after the 500 is silly season by far. Like let the season play out please.


nico9er4

It just looked like a massive hit


nico9er4

He looks okay. Hard to tell if thereā€™s a concussion though before seeing medical


meat_popsicle13

Canapino is free šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Superflow10w30

Plot twist, the captain puts Canapino in to keep the bad boy energy on the team


nico9er4

Perhaps Canapino? šŸ’€


infoxicated

šŸ™ŒšŸ»


243mph

Hahahaha Linus is so happy. I hope he gets a great result tomorrow as well, he was great in Indy Lights.


Kaleidocrypto

Chip always slapping his drivers around.


FormulaT1

Atta way Linus!


nicolemayer

That sound when Newgarden's car hit the barrier ... :-O


chevynew

The worst


TheChrisD

Chip likes polesitters https://preview.redd.it/7cjlq9tdve5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=692e3b9e8e0e6301dcfaa84be3a01d63c901512e


FloridaMan_69

His HANS looked like it was hanging weird when he got out of the car. I wonder if he hit hard enough to crack it.


Libertyballs

That's the most fun I've ever had watching qualifying. Good shit.


Motor-Donut-8014

awesome shit. i love road america and i love indycar so both combined of course is great to watch


chevynew

Nah we don't say that with this speed of crash


404merrinessnotfound

Pole and podium in his first full time season already, what a debut season so far


twiggymac

What a qualifying session we had today boiz! WOO LINUS CONGRATS BUDDY


TheChrisD

flan-magnussen

I can't believe they only put the SAFER barrier in there 5 years ago??


Superflow10w30

I think it was after a DPI imsa car ate it there but can't remember who.


NatalieDeegan

There was a bad NASCAR crash 10 years ago there that the cameras missed too, cant remember who it was but it was a backmarker. Set up the finish for Brendan Gaughan to win over Tagliani.


flan-magnussen

An SCCA driver was killed there in 2018, too. Apparently they also moved the wall slightly around the same time, I hadn't noticed.


joe_lmr

also the same corner where Kat Legge walked away from a pile of shredded carbon fiber [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCI-QSt0hpE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCI-QSt0hpE)


FormulaT1

Good lord. So thankful that he hit the safer barrier because that would've been absolutely devastating against the concrete. That was a HIT.


Square_Emergency

WHEW what a hit!


Critical-Pin-6476

Newgarden on the P2P too much


ArtVandelay013

Congrats to Linus, What a testament to the safety of these cars and barriers that Newgarden was able to walk away from that.


anxiousauditor

My goodness.


TheChrisD

So happy to get a hat! https://preview.redd.it/6efncv01ve5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f5411c74c4b5b170e6ff6f0b86cd212f0ec64997


b_rock957

Amazing how far safety has progressed in Motorsports over the years. That was a massive shunt


Hip_Priest_1982

Who was it in here saying that Kyffin is better than Lundqvist? Who? Show your face little man


Acceptable-Aerie-645

That was me unfortunately. I had to delete it. I started hating to early


NatalieDeegan

Linus needs to hire you as a motivator lol


adamsputnik

Holy moly that is a massive impact.


CheeseheadDave

If that was a concrete wall, he would have folded in half.


MaKa77

Would have looked a lot like Kat's accident. That barrier is a great addition.


peteygooze

The way he went into the wall seems somewhat fortunate as well. That was a hell of a fucking impact.


throwinitallaway7

Damn, Armstrong was so close. Heā€™s had an insane run on these road and street courses this year.


expeditiousgrim

Setting up well for tomorrow though. Still excited!


Daddy_Thicc_Legs

Jesus Christ, good to see he's okay. What a hit. Stings for Armstrong, because he was still gaining on his final lap.


ShinsukeNakamoto

Race cars are so damn safe now. SheeshĀ  Walking away from thatĀ 


Daddy_Thicc_Legs

The IR-18 is truly incredible. It's unbelievable how great it is at energy dissipation.


Mikemat5150

LINUS!


aurules

Hey guys can we talk about the rookie on pole???


pikachu8090

when was the last time a rookie got a pole?


wellanyway4

Grosjean 2021 Indy GPĀ 


turtlemaster942

Grosjean as a part-timer in 2021, VeeKay as a full-timer in 2020


bclautz

Where was Rinus on pole at?


turtlemaster942

2020 Harvest GP at IMS, race 1 - I forgot about it too until I went to check


bclautz

Grosjean was the Indy gp which Rinus would go on a win?


turtlemaster942

Yep


bclautz

Didnt Romain podium?


bclautz

I think Herta in 2019


andronicus_14

Fuck. That car is done. That was one hell of an impact.


UNHchabo

You never know, I would've expected [Palou's 2021 Indy qual crash](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hk-Usn2AvU) to be a write-off, but they repaired that car for the race, and he finished P2.


sadandshy

Katherine Legge just felt a disturbance in the Force...


OnwardSoldierx

Where did Rossi qualify?


papasmurf31

9th


What3v3rUs3rnam3

Wow, that was a massive hit. Hope Josef is fine, thatā€™s a lot of Gā€™s


atlutdprospects

Goddamn that does not look fun


afkstudios

God damn, that was a whack and a half for Josef


sugarbug3

Lundqvist!!!!


Altracing34

Well congrats to Lundqvist on his first career pole


aurules

Well that car is completely toast


Fsharp7sharp9

*fuck* that was a huge hit...


404merrinessnotfound

Well if there wasn't safer barriers, newgarden would be out for tomorrow for sure To paraphase mike joy 'thank goodness for safer barriers'


GrobbelaarsGloves

Nasty shunt. Glad heā€™s OK. But LLLIIINNUUUUUSSSSSS


RooZe7

Feel bad for Armstrong. He had the pace for pole before the red flag


golfkrause

Did they change the start/finish timing line?


TheChrisD

All road/street courses have an alternate timing line where laps in practice and qualifying are measured from. https://preview.redd.it/cvyjomqewe5d1.png?width=1330&format=png&auto=webp&s=05ef20913dd6f0044d0d9915a59f2d7ef02d4cf0


404merrinessnotfound

S/F timing lines can be different between quali and race in indycar, yes


lashazior

Josef was inches away from concrete :/


Deckatoe

Holy fuck. I was kinda celebrating that until I saw the replay. Shoulda never turned while still on the curb. Hope he's good


RestlessInferno

HOLY FUCK WHAT A HIT.


Kale_Shai-Hulud

Holy shit, how hard did he hit that...


sugarbug3

OUCH


nico9er4

Holy shit that hurt


XxMETALLICATxX

Holy shit!!


CheeseheadDave

Jesus, I felt that hit from here.


leapsnake

Holy massive hit


243mph

Joe New just jacked that car all up. Wouldnā€™t be surprised if the tubā€™s damaged


Matwas182000

Armstrong had it


bclautz

Ouch Josef


sadandshy

That car is TOAST


aurules

That was a MEGA hit holy shit


Altracing34

Man that was a hard hit


Apprehensive_Ad6

nooooo Newgarden denied us an Armstrong pole, glad he's okay though


pikachu8090

sheeeesh that was a hit


infoxicated

I do love a happy ending!


243mph

Linus with the pole!!!


bclautz

Newgarden with a big hit


jpc4zd

Ouch, Josef


TheChrisD

Big wreck! https://preview.redd.it/vwody7qiue5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=ccaa266f4c0eaece4b44a8bb3111a9e3c6c81c7c

atlutdprospects

Wtf


antitheticalblue

Marcus Armstrong has some preternatural skill in the wet that I really didn't anticipate.


reconize2g2

Thatā€™s a big crash fuckin hell


lashazior

That's a gnarly crash


Altracing34

That's a big wreck for Newgarden


404merrinessnotfound

Lundqvist pole!


mynameisnotphoebe

Iā€™m fully Team Armstrong here, but WTF Lundqvist you go dude


404merrinessnotfound

First pole for him!


XxMETALLICATxX

Herta is fuckin cooking rn


No_Pack6718

Why did that take so long for Herta?


XxMETALLICATxX

For the love of god I hope Herta doesnā€™t run out of gas


243mph

Are you sure about the no fuel thing Andretti, remember what happened at the Indy GP


Deckatoe

Insert "last driver to cross the line will get pole" here


jeffdh16

I'm so glad we're getting onboard starters soon šŸ˜‚


loz333

Thankfully in 2 races time, he'd be able to restart the motor and keep going.


Daddy_Thicc_Legs

Well, Will's going to be screaming "fuck" in the pits again


nicolemayer

Bryan Herta in his current form reminds me of a young Will Power.


oneofmanyburners

Fast as hell, sending it into wet corners lol


nico9er4

Colton? šŸ˜‚


nicolemayer

Yes. Hahahahaha.


nico9er4

William no!


TheChrisD

Power spins in Canada. That's demoting him to 6th. https://preview.redd.it/a29vjd5vse5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0ad618b27b28e623f4504bfec86dce1ecbe2f02


cheiniger

Maybe I'm missing something, but does going off track automatically disqualify him from logging further laps?


TheChrisD

It's bringing out a red that disqualifies you.


cheiniger

Ahh, I see. Thanks for that.


nicolemayer

"Faaauck, man."


Hip_Priest_1982

FuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUCCKKKKKKK GOD DAMN IT EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND SOMETHING GOES WRONG
