@nolan_siegel Hope your head gets to feeling better physically and mentally, mate. All the best. 👊🏻

Great update. Hopefully his body gets back to 100% quickly. x.com/bobpockrass/st…

@Fieldof33 Yeah those cars are hustling through there. Bummer for both of them!

@merrickspeed @indy44 Dang. Never even saw it coming. He may have been a savior for Foster though.

@Fieldof33 @indy44 Only said "My fu**ing leg." and then immediately "Uuuughh". x.com/merrickspeed/s…

@merrickspeed @indy44 What did he say about his leg? I couldn’t quite make that out.

Lap 59: The message Fox played about Kirkwood's tires happened 30 minutes ago (around Lap 25). They cleared him on tire temps 3 laps later. #IndyCar #DetroitGP

SIMPSON STAND (Lap 26): "Just remember fuel and tires. That's the focus for the rest of the stint." Noted for the possible "ride around" nature for the next bit of time. #IndyCar #DetroitGP

HERTA RADIO (Lap 21, P15): "Left rear brake temp's a little high. Just be aware." #IndyCar #DetroitGP

LUNDGAARD RADIO (Lap 9, pitted early from what Harvey said he thought would be a 20-lap stint on the softs): "The rears are not in good shape." #IndyCar #DetroitGP

VEEKAY RADIO (Lap 6): "I have no power on the backstretch. Something's going on. No power! Something's broken. (pause) It's vibrating really weird. Vibrating on the gearbox. On the engine. FU**!!" #IndyCar #DetroitGP

RAHAL RADIO (Lap 5, P11): "The drink bottle is spraying all over me just so you know." #IndyCar #DetroitGP

DEFRANCESCO RADIO (Lap 4, P19): "Check the front wing." #IndyCar #DetroitGP

ILOTT STAND PRE-RACE (P17): "Big mix of downforce around you, mate, Dixon has the Gurney flap on [small wicker on the rear wing for extra downforce but also drag], the 20 has it on, 60 has it on, 45 has it off, Pato has it on, Armstrong has it on, Abel has it off, so it's a mix.

Makes a lot of sense. Kind of describes 99% of all work relationships. You work well as a group, productive, joke around, sometimes a bit of competition, but not super close personally. New hires learning the ropes. Everyone improving together. That's a good workplace. #IndyCar

RAHAL RADIO WITH 5 TO GO: "Something doesn't seem right. Steering wheel's way off left. I haven't touched anything either, but something doesn't seem right." He pits. STAND: "Left rear. Left rear. The wheel's loose. It's up against the wheel lock." #DetroitGP #IndyCar

SAME REPORT FROM SCHWARTZMAN: "So if you see any alarm, please report... We lost telemetry. If you see any alarm, please report. Report alarm, because we lost telemetry." #IndyCar #DetroitGP

SIMPSON STAND DURING WARMUP: "Alright Kyffin, we currently have no telemetry or timing and scoring so you're just going to have to keep us posted on if you need to change or anything like that. I have no idea where you're at." #IndyCar #DetroitGP

IndyCar Warmup set - small details, even inside jokes: - Herta on pole so his diecast is there - NFL season on Fox in a few months (maybe other reason(s))? - Buxton's Twinkie obsession against the steering wheel Pump the fun. #DetroitGP #IndyCar

HERTA STAND (Edwards) AFTER P1 QUAL: "Thanks, everyone. We needed that, right?" #IndyCar #DetroitGP

SIEGEL RADIO (only two laps in qualifying, before coming to pits): "No torque. (pause) Yeah, this is major." #IndyCar #DetroitGP

A new meaning to "tow lap." Power invents the Plow Lap. #DetroitGP #IndyCar
