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...

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 […]
By Diane Swintal The sun has finally come out at PIR – a very pleasant 74F/22C at the start of Indy Lights qualifying. Track temp is 98.8F. Plenty of rubber on the racetrack – plenty of different kinds of rubber. A USF2000 race (Cooper), INDYCAR qualifying (Firestone), ARCA (General) and Indy Pro 2000 (Cooper). Green […]
By Diane Swintal Indy Pro 2000 Presented by Cooper Tires held their second race of the weekend with the temperature at 68F and a very welcome cloud cover. With first and second in the championship decided, it’s a chance for much of the field to go for broke (hopefully not literally) without having to worry about […]
