@GarageGuyChase @Jbrzysk @jeff_gluck It's one of those things you don't get until you're there, how much the city lives it. You're 30 miles on the other side of the city from the Speedway and everyone's got their lawns decked out with race flags.

@Jbrzysk @jeff_gluck I’ve done both. Indy 500 has it all. The city celebrates for an entire month. It’s very similar to Mardi Gras for me.

The Indy 500 purse numbers are out, and they are WAY up. — Felix Rosenqvist got $4.34 million for winning (up from $3.8 million for winner last year) — Total purse was $30.9 million (!), up from $20.2 million last year. — AVERAGE payout per IndyCar Series driver was $936k!

@NWSDetroit That'd explain why the SDR decode I'm working on 'failed' overnight. Thanks!

Due to the potential for severe weather today, the weekly NOAA Weather Radio test will be postponed.

@alanisnking Lol, I was JUST off frame to the right of this

The local promo for IndyCar Arlington must have been off the charts. There are so many people here. This rocks

@WoodyCumbie @IndyCar That's the nuance I'm on. He's great, that should be celebrated, but I'm worried for the effect on the series. We don't have the runway that Johnson-era Cup did.

@IndyCar Palou is super talented BUT IndyCar has a Palou problem much like NASCAR had a Jimmy Johnson problem.

The Sunshine State belongs to the champ! Alex Palou WINS on the Streets of St. Petersburg 🏆

@NotFifthGear Swapping stories about getting screwed by the FIA, great times!

That's oomf 😭❤️❤️

@_stolli @phoronix @AMDRyzen @FrameworkPuter I upgraded my Framework 13 to a 350. Fine performance, but no effective NPU support, spotty Thunderbolt and the almost mandatory Mediatek wifi get me occasionally thinking about swapping back to the Ultra 1 board.

@phoronix @AMDRyzen Hmm, that just looks like a bad idea to order a @FrameworkPuter recently with these new Ryzon AI chip.

The @AMDRyzen AI Software 1.6.1 Advertises Linux Support But rather silly that they continue to gate their pre-built Linux binaries in just making it more difficult for Linux developers to engage and leverage the Ryzen AI NPUs finally under Linux. phoronix.com/news/Ryzen-AI-…

@DLand91 Buc-ee's is a wild place. So, 750hp on the short tracks in Cup next year. Hmm.

The energy im bringing to Petit

@smclaughlin93 It was great seeing you come over to congratulate Will at Portland. Class.

Thank you Will. I never thought I’d end up teammates with a true Motorsport legend but this crazy journey brought me there. I have enjoyed learning from you and trying to hone my craft to be as a precise as you are. I’ve still got a ways to go but I will always cherish the time we spent working together. I wish you all the best on the next journey, proud to call you a teammate but even more proud to call you friend. GFC! @12WillPower @Team_Penske

@DLand91 "We are 179 days away from St. Petersburg, let's use that time wisely." Race control's signoffs are always a nice touch. (Aww, Twitter won't let me upload sound clips)

ZANARDI DONUTS IN THE GRASS ARE YOU KIDDING ME LMFAO

@smclaughlin93 @12WillPower @Team_Penske Great to see at Victory Circle to congratulate him too.

Shout out @12WillPower !! Hell of a drive so happy for him and @Team_Penske

@connor_allen21 @DLand91 It was kind of worse today.

@broadwing @DLand91 Guy was just making a rant up about vindication for Newgarden

PATO O'WARD HOLDS OFF JOSEF NEWGARDEN AND WINS RACE 1 AT IOWA

@connor_allen21 @DLand91 I had the thought with his non-stop spiel on this one - and I kind of like Will - that he was a bit better when he was LESS comfortable.

@DLand91 100 career wins according to Will Buxton….he needs to slow down sometimes 😂

@Kontremine @HChrisBallance @aviationarchive @AFmuseum That's the X-4.

Great footage from our wonderful National Archives of one of the two X-5's built in 1951. The X-5 design was inspired by the German Messerschmitt P.1101 V1 and it's swing-wing concept was later successfully implemented on the F-111 and F-14.🤘😎

@chrismattlin @DLand91 Especially after tonight.

@DLand91 Too many good races right here in the best country in the world. If I had your resources, ain't no way I'd skip Gateway for Le Mans; never.

If you are a self-respecting fan of this sport we all love, you HAVE to go to Le Mans. No excuses, I dont accept them. Do it!

@DLand91 That custom font - which looks like Helvetica or maybe a Futura derivative (round dots) with some tweaks and that goofy capital R... It don't look right when you use it in normal text.

This year's Indy 500 had the weather of '92, the "nobody wants to win" nature of '95 and for good measure the appeals processes of '81. Good lord. Ha.

@Long2301Long @JoshuaEngels3 @DLand91 Given the level of his anger after P2Pgate I wouldn't be surprised if you told me he unironically did that. (Which doesn't make this any less funny)

@JoshuaEngels3 @DLand91 Tim Cindric told the team “It’s cheatin’ time”. They all went along with it. All except for Scott Thomas McLaughlin. He said “No. I want a stock attenuator on my car. I’d rather crash with integrity than go along with this devilish scheme.” Then he walked out. Everyone clapped.

Cars 2 and 12 moved to the back row of the #Indy500

@LegendOfRelda Doesn't look heavily filled in to me.

Just throwing this out there for people who know better, but I took this photo of Scott McLaughlin’s car an hour before he crashed. Attenuator looks legal right? #Indy500 #indycar #penske

@tomwisbrewski @indy44 Should've had PT AND this guy. The punch would have been entertaining.

@indy44 Should've had Paul Tracy in the booth and not this embarrassment

"This is your seventh Daytona 500" Colton instantly corrects him. #Indy500 #IndyCar

@DLand91 Channel the energy: Emergency Unverified. :D

I'm overstimulated

@DLand91 Completely NUTS. This kid is amazing!

FELIX NOT FAST ENOUGH ITS GOING TO BE PREMA AND SHWARTZMAN!!!!!!
