By Patrick Stephan Simon Sikes brought the field to green with contact near the back as the flag was waving. Four wide down the front straight and Papasavvas gets by as the field makes it through Turn 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7…maybe…yes, 8, 9, and someone goes of at Turn 10…it’s the 90 […]
By Patrick Stephan Pole sitter Myles Rowe will bring the field to the green with a lead of 30 (120 to 90) over Kiko Porto. Alongside Rowe is Francesco Pizzi and the field makes it through Turn 1 but they are stacked 2 and three deep in to Turn 2 and that pushes Lirim Zendelli […]
By Patrick Stephan Welcome to the first race of a busy day the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. USF2000 presented by Cooper Tires took the green flag bright and early at 8:00am Eastern Time with the Air and Track Temp about 68F, and 92% humidity making it quite muggy here. The start was as chaotic as you’d […]
By Patrick Stephan Kiko Porto and Jack William Miller crept to the starting line and then we had a four wide drag race to Turn 1. Someone mid pack takes the escape road, as Porto leads through Turn 1. Also had a few cars short-cut Turn 6, didn’t catch the car but race control is […]
By Patrick Stephan On the start we have three or four cars involved with three winding up backwards or sideways, including Jacob Douglas who had started on the outside of the front row. Looked like Douglas in the 90 had wound up about four back as they entered the braking zone. He then tried to […]
By Patrick Stephan This weekend’s qualifying session for USF Pro 2000 got started with the track still damp down on the north end. (NOTE: This has me questioning if USF2000 drivers went to slicks for their session as a source had told me – I’ll have to check on that during a break later today)....
By Patrick Stephan Today’s first action of the day saw 20 drivers from the USF2000 presented by Cooper Tires series take to the 2.439mile 14-turn Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. The track temp was 70.9F while the air was at 69F. The initial laps saw some rooster tails, but most of the driver’s were successfully...
By Patrick Stephan Good morning race fans. Real quick opening update from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Steve Wittich is off doing TV stuff this weekend, so I’ll be running both TSOLadder.com presented by Cooper Tires and TrackSideOnline.com presented by Honda Racing/HPD. As we get ready for the first session of the day, the track is...
By Patrick Stephan The penultimate round of the 2022 Indy Lights presented by Cooper Tires season starts with Sting Ray Robb on the pole and his Andretti Autosport teammate Christian Rasmussen alongside. Pedersen, McElrea and soon to be 2022 champion Linus Lundqvist round out the Top-5 starters. On the pace lap, Kyffin Simpson spins at […]
By Diane Swintal Ambient temperature is 70F, track temps are 87.4. HMD Motorsports with Dale Coyne Racing’s Linus Lundqvist will start fourth in today’s race, looking to clinch the championship now, rather than waiting until next weekend’s pair of races at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. We won’t take you through all the permutations – suffice […]
