@DaveBartrom On lap 200 as well? First guy since Greg Ray to hit the wall twice in the same race… but this time in the span of 5 laps?

@Fieldof33 Schumacher

One thing I haven’t seen anywhere, but I saw and heard myself… SOMEONE near back of pack hit the wall exiting T1 on lap 200. I was shocked #IndyCar didn’t throw a yellow. I haven’t seen anyone else mention it and haven’t seen a video. Anyone else know who it was?

Video taken from my son’s Meta glasses. You can hear the bang at 39 seconds. Also listen to this crowd at the end. I don’t remember ever hearing it like this since @TonyKanaan won in 2013. Deafening! Bonus… you can hear @wbuxtonofficial @IndyCarOnFOX call from our scanner.

This was my 38th #Indy500 and at least the fifth one where the meteorologists said there was no way the race was going to be run. I know 1993, 1998, and I think 2016 fell into those categories.

Anyone know what happened to @h3lio? He was running in Top 10 near the end, then I looked up and he’s suddenly I. Rosenqvist’s pit celebrating at the end

Absolutely unreal race. Here your view from Turn 1 @IMS. #Indy500

@champwebdotnet They don’t have the speed even if they did have the tires. This will be Malukas v Palou

I don’t think Pato and FRO will have the tires

Are you on the edge of YOUR seat??? #Indy500 @IMS #IndyCar

Taking Newgarden out of the front of the pack will definitely hurt Malukas as ScottyMac just hasnt shown the speed to keep up. Unless Lil Dave and Conor become BFFs, it’s going to be really hard to hold back the Ganassi/psuedo-Ganassi triumvirate.

Dang. Rookie move by Newgarden there and SOMEHOW Dixon avoided that. Whoa!!

Car 18 to back of field for passing a car under yellow at pit in.

If Bryan Herta is to be believed, we should have 35 minutes until real rain. These next 30-40 could be NUTS!

Engines to restart at 14:35.

Race is now official. We ain’t coming back tomorrow.

Does anyone short fuel here if rain is coming?

Oof. Bad stop for Rossi. Second stop required for Rasmussen. Crash for Carpenter. Not a good 5 minutes for ECR.

Rossi. Pit stops. It’s a thing.

Not to sound like the old man yelling at the cloud… but that traditional noon EDT/ 11:00 CDT start time sure seems like it would come in handy right about now.

You can pretend it’s not a big deal. But it is. You can say you’re ok not being here. But you’re not. You can say it’s just another race. But it’s not. Other races have winners. The #Indy500 crowns a champion into immortality. And it starts for the 110th time in 1 hour @IMS.

@Indycar_Wxman Sooo…. You’re telling us there’s a chance???

If the midday rainshowers (1) can stay on the lighter side and any heavier rainfall is squeezed to the east of IMS as this second impulse (2) approaches…it’s a possibility
