The production looked a little amateurish switching the camera to Will Power with his shirt off.

McLaren had a terrible day.

Colton Herta leads the championship for the first time ever (with help from the two DQs a few days ago).

Felix Rosenqvist P5 in championship having a sneaky good start to the season for Meyer Shank.

That race was AWESOME! Herta fought back and finished 8 after a poor qualifying and getting run off early.

Good for Linus too. What an awesome race to have 3 strategies going on at the same time!

We went to qualifying. What an excellent event! Very kid friendly.

Hell yeah doodz!

OP is updated.

What an awesome race! I am still pumped up about that.

It seems the paddock doesn't buy Newgarden's claim he thought push-to-pass was available on restarts was within the rules.

At some point they switched to ethanol, which has a visible flame, so this is a problem of the ancient past. Aside from the visibility problem of methanol, alcohol fires are far easier to deal with than gasoline fires. Every pit has a couple of buckets of water and when there's a fire everyone helps dump water on it.

We have an 85-lap road course race on this Saturday afternoon. As of right now, there is a decent chance of rain throughout the day. It should be a doozy.

Four prior winners will line up on the grid Saturday: Will Power, Rinus Veekay, Colton Herta, and Alex Palou. Lundgaard and Grosjean have also recently taken pole at the Indy Motor Speedway road course.

Also, NASCAR driver Kyle Larson will attempt the "double" at the Indy 500 and then Coca-Cola 600 this year. Earlier this year, he posted a blistering lap around IMS, topping out at an absolutely screaming 243 mph with an average speed of 226 mph.

Will Power has won at the IMS road course five times and a Penske driver has won there eight times. There have only been 14 races.

Palou is just so darn consistent. He may be setting up for back-to-back titles.

Herta had a tremendous drive Saturday, even after being pushed off on the first lap by his teammate. I wish we could've seen a little more of it (thanks, NBC).

Finally, is Santino Ferucci's only club in the bag just to push his car into his competitor's?
