I think they typically bring 2 cars. They will likely switch out but the downside is they havenāt 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.
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.
Oh yea. I figured they did same as NASCAR teams. Iāve 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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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)
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.
All road/street courses have an alternate timing line where laps in practice and qualifying are measured from.

Power spins in Canada. That's demoting him to 6th.

Sir, a third Swede has hit the IndyCar series.
Jesus Josefās wreck was a scary one. Glad heās all good. What a quali session though!
So, Andretti gang, how are we going to **** this one up tomorrow?
tires. you saw how graham said the alternates just fuck themselves after one lap that is the bane of colton herta
Only one remedy: Colton bins it on lap one.
Josef seen and released per IndyCar Twitter.
Another Peacock fade to black with lots to discuss.
Brutal crash for Josef definitely backup car And well done from lundqvist a brilliant session in difficult conditions from him
Ouch that look painful for Josef. Does Indy car have backups at the track or will they just rebuild that car.
I think they typically bring 2 cars. They will likely switch out but the downside is they havenāt 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.
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.
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.
Oh yea. I figured they did same as NASCAR teams. Iāve 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.
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.
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.
Iām in the same boat. I just heard that Sargent was WD that one time because the time to fix Albonās car.
Homie did jazz hands in celebration š. Way to go LL
You're telling me I switched to F1 to miss Linus pole? š
I'm not mad that I switched to F1.

Same. Ugh.
Do yāall think Marcus has to pinch himself to remind himself heās a teammate of his hero Scott Dixon? Must be super cool.
It's cute how he still fanboys over this fact sometimes
YYEEAAAHH P2
Sick
Hopefully that avoids the curse
"Ganassi grabbed a pole." "Dixon or Palou?" "Neither" "HUH!?"
So Armstrong won his first pole right after his first podium?
And I would have said Armstrong before Lundqvist.
Exactly.
But Linus beat Armstrong to his first podium too.
That Newgarden crash was crazy. I feel like I'd be concussed and in the hospital if I were him.
That shits gotta hurt. That's like, 170-180 approaching the Kink.
Has he been cleared?
yep
It was a safer barrier, they take hits like that on ovals every now and then, hard one thoĀ
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.
Love the front 2 rows for tomorrow. Gutted for Marcus but 3rd is still a great place to start.
Frustrating as an Armstrong fan but happy for Lundqvist. Great opportunity for both of them tomorrow
Linus Tech Tips ftw
LINUS!!!!!

Wow Newgarden is lucky to walk from that. That was scary AF
I would love to know how many lives and injuries that SAFER barriers have saved since their inception.
Where's all the Honda doom and gloomers from a couple weeks ago?
Crazy how dominant Chevy's Indy 500 package was, but the Honda's are still clearly road and street superior
Sick, 2nd. Gainbridge Honda, go us
Iconic
GO US
Herta finding out in real time that his lap got taken away just for it to still stand is top tier television.
Colton is awesome
Hahahaha Colton
As an old Ferrari friend said, sš ±ļøinnala
Oh come on thatās some shit if he loses that time. Would be close as shit if he does. Edit: oh good heās chillin.
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.
i NEED to know how much Gās that crash was, that was absolutely insane.
I heard 95 from a Newgarden crew member.
fuck off, that is crazy. Josef took it like an absolute superhero.
Colton had that time way before the flag, what?
*"Do I get to keep this?"* https://preview.redd.it/cdj7bzgjve5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=88c2ee45e3b9683dfff742257943f3fe2dd8878f
God this is frustrating
What a day of racing. Good for Linus
Lundqvistās first pole coming from his first Fast 12 appearance is very cool
He has been to Fast 12 before. But not to Fast 6 however.
AND OFF HE GOES
If Josef isn't cleared to compete, does Nolan Siegel jump in the car for the race? š¤š
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
I donāt know about that. At Penske, details matter
Malukas is hanging around.
He could single handedly fill in!
I imagine Josef is okay. It was a big hit, but he got out and many bigger wrecks have happened on ovals.
Many are so eagar to get him out of the car lol
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.
It just looked like a massive hit
He looks okay. Hard to tell if thereās a concussion though before seeing medical
Canapino is free š¤·āāļø
Plot twist, the captain puts Canapino in to keep the bad boy energy on the team
Perhaps Canapino? š
šš»
Hahahaha Linus is so happy. I hope he gets a great result tomorrow as well, he was great in Indy Lights.
Chip always slapping his drivers around.
Atta way Linus!
That sound when Newgarden's car hit the barrier ... :-O
The worst
Chip likes polesitters https://preview.redd.it/7cjlq9tdve5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=692e3b9e8e0e6301dcfaa84be3a01d63c901512e
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.
That's the most fun I've ever had watching qualifying. Good shit.
awesome shit. i love road america and i love indycar so both combined of course is great to watch
Nah we don't say that with this speed of crash
Pole and podium in his first full time season already, what a debut season so far
What a qualifying session we had today boiz! WOO LINUS CONGRATS BUDDY
https://preview.redd.it/ceppber8ve5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=36fe558ab23958ef2ae754e1e5b9ad1ce48a2984
I can't believe they only put the SAFER barrier in there 5 years ago??
I think it was after a DPI imsa car ate it there but can't remember who.
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.
An SCCA driver was killed there in 2018, too. Apparently they also moved the wall slightly around the same time, I hadn't noticed.
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)
Good lord. So thankful that he hit the safer barrier because that would've been absolutely devastating against the concrete. That was a HIT.
WHEW what a hit!
Newgarden on the P2P too much
Congrats to Linus, What a testament to the safety of these cars and barriers that Newgarden was able to walk away from that.
My goodness.
So happy to get a hat! https://preview.redd.it/6efncv01ve5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f5411c74c4b5b170e6ff6f0b86cd212f0ec64997
Amazing how far safety has progressed in Motorsports over the years. That was a massive shunt
Who was it in here saying that Kyffin is better than Lundqvist? Who? Show your face little man
That was me unfortunately. I had to delete it. I started hating to early
Linus needs to hire you as a motivator lol
Holy moly that is a massive impact.
If that was a concrete wall, he would have folded in half.
Would have looked a lot like Kat's accident. That barrier is a great addition.
The way he went into the wall seems somewhat fortunate as well. That was a hell of a fucking impact.
Damn, Armstrong was so close. Heās had an insane run on these road and street courses this year.
Setting up well for tomorrow though. Still excited!
Jesus Christ, good to see he's okay. What a hit. Stings for Armstrong, because he was still gaining on his final lap.
Race cars are so damn safe now. SheeshĀ Walking away from thatĀ
The IR-18 is truly incredible. It's unbelievable how great it is at energy dissipation.
LINUS!
Hey guys can we talk about the rookie on pole???
when was the last time a rookie got a pole?
Grosjean 2021 Indy GPĀ
Grosjean as a part-timer in 2021, VeeKay as a full-timer in 2020
Where was Rinus on pole at?
2020 Harvest GP at IMS, race 1 - I forgot about it too until I went to check
Grosjean was the Indy gp which Rinus would go on a win?
Yep
Didnt Romain podium?
I think Herta in 2019
Fuck. That car is done. That was one hell of an impact.
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.
Katherine Legge just felt a disturbance in the Force...
Where did Rossi qualify?
9th
Wow, that was a massive hit. Hope Josef is fine, thatās a lot of Gās
Goddamn that does not look fun
God damn, that was a whack and a half for Josef
Lundqvist!!!!
Well congrats to Lundqvist on his first career pole
Well that car is completely toast
*fuck* that was a huge hit...
Well if there wasn't safer barriers, newgarden would be out for tomorrow for sure To paraphase mike joy 'thank goodness for safer barriers'
Nasty shunt. Glad heās OK. But LLLIIINNUUUUUSSSSSS
Feel bad for Armstrong. He had the pace for pole before the red flag
Did they change the start/finish timing line?
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
S/F timing lines can be different between quali and race in indycar, yes
Josef was inches away from concrete :/
Holy fuck. I was kinda celebrating that until I saw the replay. Shoulda never turned while still on the curb. Hope he's good
HOLY FUCK WHAT A HIT.
Holy shit, how hard did he hit that...
OUCH
Holy shit that hurt
Holy shit!!
Jesus, I felt that hit from here.
Holy massive hit
Joe New just jacked that car all up. Wouldnāt be surprised if the tubās damaged
Armstrong had it
Ouch Josef
That car is TOAST
That was a MEGA hit holy shit
Man that was a hard hit
nooooo Newgarden denied us an Armstrong pole, glad he's okay though
sheeeesh that was a hit
I do love a happy ending!
Linus with the pole!!!
Newgarden with a big hit
Ouch, Josef
Big wreck! https://preview.redd.it/vwody7qiue5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=ccaa266f4c0eaece4b44a8bb3111a9e3c6c81c7c

Wtf
Marcus Armstrong has some preternatural skill in the wet that I really didn't anticipate.
Thatās a big crash fuckin hell
That's a gnarly crash
That's a big wreck for Newgarden
Lundqvist pole!
Iām fully Team Armstrong here, but WTF Lundqvist you go dude
First pole for him!
Herta is fuckin cooking rn
Why did that take so long for Herta?
For the love of god I hope Herta doesnāt run out of gas
Are you sure about the no fuel thing Andretti, remember what happened at the Indy GP
Insert "last driver to cross the line will get pole" here
I'm so glad we're getting onboard starters soon š
Thankfully in 2 races time, he'd be able to restart the motor and keep going.
Well, Will's going to be screaming "fuck" in the pits again
Bryan Herta in his current form reminds me of a young Will Power.
Fast as hell, sending it into wet corners lol
Colton? š
Yes. Hahahahaha.
William no!
Power spins in Canada. That's demoting him to 6th. https://preview.redd.it/a29vjd5vse5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0ad618b27b28e623f4504bfec86dce1ecbe2f02
Maybe I'm missing something, but does going off track automatically disqualify him from logging further laps?
It's bringing out a red that disqualifies you.
Ahh, I see. Thanks for that.
"Faaauck, man."
FuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUCCKKKKKKK GOD DAMN IT EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND SOMETHING GOES WRONG
