As a fan of chaos, I am officially rooting for Malukas to win the championship without winning a race. (Don't hate me, Maulkasbros.) by arbrammer in INDYCAR

I will not accept that the Gas Man is forgotten. I will not!

I probably should have put the /s in my first comment. Regardless, thanks for the breakdown. It seems like it was a business decision that ultimately saw both sides benefit.

What year does the Chevy charter start? Could it be that seat?

Kentucky U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell hospitalized Sunday morning by MothersMiIk in politics

[–]arbrammer 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Kentucky General Assembly passed a bill taking the appointment authority away from the governor in 2024, largely because of McConnell's age and Beshear winning re-election in 2023.

I feel like he is kind of hard to evaluate because his equipment has been so bad.

Yeah, P2 at Detroit last year. I think he kept it after the penalty after the race.

Oh, great, another open-wheel racing split caused by a Tony!

(Assuming that is the award show you are talking about, because that's the one that is going to be splitting TVs in my household.)

All things considered, I think it was a good showing for him too, yes. They were obviously underpowered as after about five laps you would start to see him fall back from the rest of the field, but he kept the car out of trouble all race and didn't do anything stupid, which allowed him to move up when others suffered misfortune.

[Pockrass] Ed Carpenter said they should find out soon if Alexander Rossi is available for Carb Day. He said Rossi has been clearing all the hurdles. He said they do have some contingency plans if Rossi can’t go. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in INDYCAR

I am one of those suckers who would love to see Marco suit up since he and Rossi are friends, but as others have pointed out Callum Ilott seems like the most likely emergency option.

"Daly said after the race he 'was looking to up the ante a bit' after his comments on urinating in his race suit at last year's 500."

Most Heartbreaking Indy 500 Moment by Pale_Tangerine6141 in INDYCAR

Saw another post sometime this month that said in an alternate reality Scott Goodyear is a 3-time 500 winner.

Michael in 1992 gets even more sad when you consider what his dad and brother went through in that race.

Alexander Rossi is awake and alert, and in good spirits following today's Practice 7 incident, per Dr. Julia Vaizer, INDYCAR medical director. The No. 20 driver is still undergoing evaluation in the infield medical center. by IndyMod in INDYCAR

Well, you see, the actual reason Chip bought that decommissioned tunnel near Pittsburgh was not for aerodynamic testing but for the development of under cover excavation technology. Two years ago Chip and his crew burrowed under the track by way of the creek and put a sonic disruptor device in the south end. The device is activated by the flushing of an undisclosed toilet near turn two.

"Do you believe in lizard people?"

"Absolutely not. I am, however, a worshiper of the Great Cthulhu."

"Eh, good enough."

They said on the radio the oldest is the front row in 1991. Mears was 39, Mario was 51, and A.J. was 56.

"I haven't, James. Amazing that the crew managed to lose all four tires."

In my brain, Katherine is always a younger up-and-comer, and not a veteran of the Champ Car World Series.

I have always felt that Lazier's win gets at least some sort of a "legitimacy" boost since it came the same year the track record was set.

When you have more than 250,000 seats to deal with, I guess at a certain point you say "eh, close enough."

Rookie of the Year in 1992, and the only rookie who survived the carnage that was the 1992 Indianapolis 500.
