I don't know if it's already been covered elsewhere on this forum, but Jacques Villeneuve Sr. (the uncle of JV) is battling against intestinal cancer and the odds are very bad on him.

Newgarden almost plowed into the back of Villeneuve on pit road.

Carpenter the quickest at 226.257.

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.

Boom 227.1 for Helio.

And they're not at qualifying boost yet.

They're hitting 230 tomorrow.

Awesome.

In 2 more years when they hit 240, I'll be excited again.

Were they even in qualifying trim yet?

No, but you also don't get monster tows in qualifying, so it should balance out.

Yeah, that's a good point. But is the wake of the leading car enough that it robs the following driver of enough speed in the turns to offset what it gained on the straights?

So much rain

Should be the first time in 11 years to see speeds over 230mph. Last year they only went 225 with the low boost, and 229 with the high boost. If that's any barometer, Helio should be able to hit 231, although most in the paddock feel that 230 will happen by a possible number of drivers.

Track wet, I assume?

Yup.

Pagenaud will wear a copy of Eddie Irvine's F3000 helmet for this year's 500.

Awesome, specially with that Honda logo on it, really reminds me of Ayrton's Helmets from 87 to 92.

It looks like the estimated time of green is 2:30PM EDT.

Cars rolling through gasoline alley.

Track is green, although looking behind turn 2, it might not stay that way for long.
