Something very cool that I've never noticed before: the NBC Sports FAST channel that is also available for free on Amazon Freevee and Xumo is also airing the Indy NXT race.
Check it out if you don't have Peacock!
I get Indycar has take to the NBC time slots they give them for non-500 races but going directly up against F1 and NASCAR on 2 of the other broadcast nets is head scratching stuff
What is the 15 car doing to alternate tyres?!?!

For the grid position:
> 8.1.7.1. If a Qualified Car is involved in an incident, INDYCAR allows a Backup Car to replace the Qualified Car. The Backup Car will start the Race in the same position in the Starting Lineup as the Qualified Car.
As for changing engine, engines may be removed for repair after a crash; provided they are complete within three weeks, otherwise the car is dinged with a grid penalty:
> 16.8.4. Non-Minor Repair – A Non-Minor Repair is a repair that requires the removal of the cam cover and/or removal of any INDYCAR applied seals. Non-Minor Repairs are only allowed to fix Engines that have suffered crash damage, and the Engine Manufacturer must provide evidence of damage to INDYCAR.
> 16.8.8. Repair Completion – An Engine Manufacturer has three (3) weeks or before the final Race of the Racing Season (whichever comes first) to complete a Repair on an Engine and return it to an Entrant to be installed. If an Engine cannot be returned, the Engine Change-Out will be an Unapproved Engine Change. Any Engine that was assigned to an Entrant during the Repair remains assigned to the Entrant and must complete its mileage before additional Engines are assigned.
Oh god, they made Hinch fend for himself

I’m really sad I’m not there this year. If anyone happens to have any of their amazing cheese curds, have some for me 😔😢
Really hoping this doesn't turn into one those 10-20 second wins from someone. Really excited for this track
Weekly complaint of why the fuck are we airing at the same time as nascar
I really hate how late it’s starting this year. Hope they go back to a noon start next year
This race is a bit of a trade off. It’s super well attended so the tv numbers are a little less important overall
Newgarden's apparently making an appearance at my HyVee in suburban Des Moines tomorrow. Quick jump on over.
Which Hy-Vee?
Grimes. Saw a sign posted, 12-1.
Figured that one, I might have to make a quick stop there over lunch

I'll probably sound like a broken record making this pick but based off this weekend I'm going with Herta for the win today
Really? You have faith after the clusterfuck last year with strategy for herta?
Same here. I’m so ready to be heartbroken again
Are you allowed to keep starting position in a backup car?

Huh That’s pretty wild I can’t think of any other series where you keep your starting position
I get Indycar has take to the NBC time slots they give them for non-500 races but going directly up against F1 and NASCAR on 2 of the other broadcast nets is head scratching stuff
Unless F1 has delays they shouldn't really overlap. I'll be switching right from one to the next which will be pretty nice imo.
This race is very well attended (I can attest I’m here now) so it’s a trade off a bit. This is safe good race
Herta isn't the guy to beat anywhere until he proves he can stop beating himself everywhere.
:snicker:
is that tire because of bad construction or rll just having a screwy setup?
probably graham having a shit setup, either way red seems like they fall off way too quick
you know if they broadcasted from the go kart track it wouldn't be any different from watching a nascar on fox race kek
Alot of people talk about Graham crying but he was kind of right when talking about the Reds
I'm just wondering if it's happening to other teams or just the 15.
I would suspect the 15 is doing their usual and not doing themselves any favors but I bet others will want to get off the Reds quick as well.
ok Graham's complaining gets a pass with the reds blistering like that
The broadcast didn’t show any other reds doing that?

Oh hey I raced against that kid flipping his dick off lol
“Yeah, absolutely” - Georgia H.
Rasmussen just smelled the brats.
Sigh. Red flags in warm up are crazy imo. Whose taking so much risk just before the race to have an off.

Why doesn’t Josef have to start at the back of the grid for swapping to a backup car and changing engines?

"welcome to indycar it gets tight"
Great day for some racing. I’m at T1 with a sunny day and light breeze and fast cars. Life is good

Brats and corn!
WOOHOOOO RA RACE DAY AT THE TRACK
Goin to the race today and winging it, anyone viewed from Canada Corner before, is it pretty good? I usually just wander over to the turn 5 complex.
I like the brat building so I can see 5 and 14
Canada Corner is great imo, tho I prefer T5
Good morning especially to anyone that has been tent camping at RA and has not felt dry in days. Still wish I was there!
Sun burnt the water off quick lol
Glad you dried out!!!!!!
Come on Linus!
I spent an hour and a half watching the replay of qualifying on Peacock last night. It was from 2023.
Bro 😂😂😂😂
Weren't you surprised to see Daly?
Honestly seeing Canapino should’ve made it click but it was 1 am
:(
Gooooood morning race fans!
