This weekend.

Scott McLaughlin's first Indycar race - an audition for 2021. Any guesses on how he'll go?

Scottie McLaughuahuhlin impressing bigly in the practice session. Even though he binned it twice in the last five minutes, but others went off the track as well.

This guy won't have any issues transferring to open wheelers.

So Dixon just has to finish 9th to win regardless of what Newgarden does.
Basically Newgarden has to win and take every single bonus point with Dixon finishing 10th or lower......
Big ask.
Unless Ferruci can dive bomb Dixon or just take him out T1 Lap1 or when he is being lapped. :nuts: :aggro:

Ah, yes, we have a race thread.

Scott McLaughlin to start from the back. Q was tough.

He ended up getting 21st, mainly thanks to Marco getting docked his 2 fastest laps.
Newgarden will start 8th and Dixon 11th, whilst pole went to Wil Power.

Not looking good for Newgarden.

8th in qualifying. Dixon 11th.

Powerrrrrr on pole. Andretti cars fast.

Ferrucci fucks himself off the track and into the wall. Karma. Daly somehow got a flat under yellow.

Oh dear .
Scott just had a problem with traction and made a hash of it. Veekay gone with him. Sad part is they were not even racing.

Bummer for Veekay. Shame for Scottie, inexperience showing.

What a mess. Caution after caution. JoNew leads with 20 to go. Dixon has dodged about 500 bullets to sit in third.

Sato just wrecked Askew after having wrecked Marco earlier. And rain has started.
