And highlights from the two practice sessions.

A couple of minor shunts into the final corner, including a SATO SHUNT, SATO SHUNT (don't get to say that often enough these days - he's mellowed in old age).

Bourdias now with a Frankenstein car - the engine cover is half Gorilla, half Sealmaster. Something must have happened to it in Prac 3...

It looks horrendous!

Power pole! Then: Newgarden, Rossi, Bourdais, Hunter-Reay, Veach.

Veach very impressive lately.

Dixon P11 I think it was. Hopefully has a bad race.

Commentary saying up to 28 cars for Sonoma :jaw:.

A perfectly ideal situation disrupted by a obnoxious racist who was outcast elsewhere for his obvious failings. The result being the old guard get a stay of execution which is in the best interest of few. How appropriate for the state of America.

You suck Ferucci, sod off back to your hole or whatever it is you and your family crawl out of every day.

Well at least Sato won.

Not a classic race, but had plenty of action in it, and the racing itself was better than in past years. The current car brings it up a notch compared to what it otherwise would have been.

Dixon is Hamilton's spirit brother. #blessed

*clang clang* BRING OUT YOUR CARS *clang clang*
RACER.com has learned that Harding Racing is fielding cars for Pato O’Ward and Colton Herta in IndyCar’s 2018 season swansong at the road course in Northern California.

Nineteen-year-old O’Ward who captured the Lights title on the strength of nine wins and nine pole positions, is expected to be testing one of Harding’s Dallara/Chevys at Sonoma on Thursday.

Herta, the 18-year-old second generation star who scored four wins and finished second to O’Ward, tested for Harding earlier this summer and got high marks from the Indianapolis-based team.

Best of luck to the boys. Looking forward to this!
