Watching almost constantly since three days and havent even seen a wiggle. Maybe that new car is a tiny bit too easy to drive?

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

It still was kinda easy, just little wiggles, no spins. I'm curious to see how it will react this Friday.

These things don't seem to be as twitchy as they are pushy.

When they turn the wick up tomorrow, on a hot track, with a week to have sorted out the car... I think you'll see them earn their money.

Have to remember that they've had comparatively little time with the Superspeedway aero (yes, I understand 3 days of practice not withstanding) than they have with the road course/short oval. Indy makes you pay for arrogance and mistakes. I don't think the teams want to push it until there's something on offer.

Looks like it started to rotate at the last second but he was already at the wall. That car could be ready in the morning, I assume.

I don't think they've got enough power to hit 230.

Trap speed is 231mph+ in to the corners already, I would say 230mph average is possible this year. May have had a tow, though.

Newgarden fastest lap of the month so far at 227.9. Hunter-Reay conked out and needs a tow in.

Whatever happened to RHR wasn't too much of an issue it seems.
