Some averaged 232 for 4 laps. And remember my drag racers motto.........."If you can turn, you aren't going fast enough". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misunderstood something I heard yesterday. I didn't watch much though as Indy isn't the race it could be without Memorial Day and the crowd. It just seems hollow to me. Nascar skips all the single car qualifying stuff to streamline their events and it feels better under virus conditions. The long qualifying days at indy without the spectacle just leave me cold.

Different day, differentweather. How about turn one as the first corner of the race without practice or qualifying. So far it's worked so well for Nascar that they might make it a regular deal. It certainly helps reduce costs and I don't think that there's as much sponsor money this year as years past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
