@gefersonkern Appreciate the support!

@ChaldiAnalytics great job!

Congrats to @malukasdavid on winning the first pole position of his #INDYCAR career! #GoodRanchers250

Everyone is sharing their power rankings following St. Petersburg so here's mine while we're at it. What stands out to you? #INDYCAR NOTE: Mick Schumacher and Santino Ferrucci are not currently included because the system requires completing at least 1 lap in order to be considered. Neither driver completed a lap in St. Petersburg and as a result do not appear in the initial rankings.

How important is starting position at St. Petersburg? In general, the further forward you start, the further forward you finish. The correlation between starting position and finishing position is 0.42 which suggests a decent linear relationship between the two. So, how important is starting position at St. Petersburg? Moderately important. Generally, where you start is indicative of where you finish, but this race does present opportunities to move forward (or backward). #INDYCAR

RACE CARS ARE ON TRACK TODAY!!!!! Here's a look at recent team performance at St. Petersburg. Data taken from races 2021 through 2025.

@malukasdavid Somewhere between aura farming and rage bait

@ChaldiAnalytics what is this stat bro😭

The 2026 #INDYCAR season is set for 4,305 miles* of racing. But this number can be hard to visualize on it's own. Here's what that equates to in other measurements that just may (or may not) be easier to grasp. THREAD 🧵 *NOTE: this number assumes an average distance street course race for Markham and Washington DC—calculated based off of the average distance of the 4 other street course races.

Google suggests an "Authentic" Indiana Pork Tenderloin Sandwich has a diameter of 10 inches, which translates to 27,276,480 Authentic Indiana Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches! (Image not to scale) #INDYCAR
