We return to IMS again this year (for the third time, but second time at the road course).

Newgarden news: Cleared to race. https://racer.com/2022/07/28/newgarden- ... urse-race/

In other news: Ferrucci kicks a dog. Probably.

I'm growing tired of the double headers. Are there no suitable tracks in the US anymore?

It makes sense in that it's cheap as chips to run (owned by Penske) and in Indycar heartland (so you can get some income without too much fuss).

So I don't have a problem with it too much.

But I would like to see a different track layout to mix it up.

Ericsson grinds to a halt on the outlap. Bummer.

And yeah, why can't we at least have a different layout?

Herta led the race but suffered a gearbox failure after running over a kerb. He might as well change his last name to Andretti.

Well this was a snoozer.

Great drive by Rossi and Lundgaard, and the Penske cars.

Ericsson did what he could and salvaged some points. Crap race pace for the ASPM cars.

Toowoomba boy takes the points lead! I'd say McLaughlin has now been dropped in the points. Really only the top 6 have a realistic chance now, with four races to go.

If it wasn't for bad luck, Herta wouldn't have any at all.

Lundgaard loves that place.
