    Graham Rahal's shunt during the race was the equivalent to Max Verstapen's Monaco qualy incident. He got to high up while apexing on the inside and it sent him hard to the outside barrier.

    True. It was fun watching Rossi easily zip past him.

    Because the old boys club brings down the overall competition in the series. Too much dead wood

    Rossi is aggressive on overtaking, he passes decisively w/o hesitation. The best pass I've seen this season was Bordais at Long Beach, a move for which he was penalized. It was brilliant.

    His passes in the Indy 500 were pretty breathtaking as well!

    Exactly, if it wasn't for his Father running him, he wouldn't have a job! The same goes for Graham as he took 5-6 years off before turning it on again a few years ago. Too many young drivers waiting on the sidelines for these never will be's to retire or move to sports cars etc....

    Yeah, but then they'll have their own kids once they retire and that generation gets a free ride in IndyCar pushing another group of qualified drivers off to the side. Rinse and repeat every generation...

    Safety car crashes nose-first into the wall on the first pace lap in Detroit. Clown car.

    Unbelievable, the gang that couldn't shoot straight. And people wonder why the racing world doesn't accept Indycar as a world class series? Mark Reuss with some major egg on his face.

    I suspect he's going to get some ribbing at work tomorrow. If he has a sense of humor,... he'll show up to work dressed as a crash test dummy.

    That was pretty funny.

    I saw it and thought that this guy would never show his face tomorrow at work. I like the idea of a test crash dummy suit.

    Zak Brown needs to cut down on the Cheeseburgers. He doesn't fit the "McLaren" image.

    Stupid! Why put a VP in the driver seat instead of a pro driver? Because GM wanted it that way.

    https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2018/06/03/pace-car-crashes-ahead-second-indycar-chevrolet-detroit-grand-prix/667651002/

    GM quickly tells ABC "Tell them its a "celebrity driver" and not our VP! LOL!! Then Roger Penske covers for Chevy "come to the races and you'll see anything!" (aka: Making lemonade from a GM lemon).
