GP of St. Pete this weekend back in its traditional opener spot.  this will be on broadcast NBC starting at 11 am with the race to start at 11:30 in god's own time zone.

Scott McLaughlin got his first pole in qualifying. He is one of the drivers I'd like to see break out and make some noise this year. I wouldn't mind a battle between Herta, McLaughlin, and Palou all season long.

Yep. And Dixon was always McLaughlin's childhood hero and one of the main reasons McLaughlin wanted to leave his dominating position in SuperCars and make a run at Indy.

Even back when he was a V8SC rookie, it was pretty clear that Scott McLaughlin was an alien. I'd love to see what he could do in F1.

they talked about it a lot on the sebring broadcast yesterday.  i have it on my calendar but the source didn't put the times in (like my source for F1 does) and the times aren't consistent

IRL at TMS. I had no idea they were running today.

I've been to every IndyCar race at TMS...this was the least promoted race ever. Love or hate Gossage, he was a promoter. 

 

And this was the best race at TMS by far since the repave/PJ1.

grosjean banging into rahal twice in one corner the least surprising thing to happen this season. 

herta with another on track error.  guess he's gonna be on the max track for formula 1.

dixon runs out of fuel going into pit lane, rain coming, herta in virtual lead behind ericsson and kirkwood who have not done a second pit stop yet. 

 

edit: didn't realize ericsson and kirkwood have already done 3 each, they're off the main strategy and could be in the cat bird's seat should the rain get there soon

rossi gambles to put on wets under yellow with sprinkles starting and the mclarens take each other out on the restart moar yellow

20 minutes left in the race, wet track, under yellow, top 3 cars on slicks, herta in 4th and many others pitted 2 laps in a row to put on new slicks then wets, gonna be a wild finish.  these yellows seem interminable as race control figures out what the running order is.

montoya breaks his car, less than 2 minutes left, race will finish under caution, herta wins with the strategy call of the day to switch from wets to slicks on lap 2.

Andretti cars not having a good time this morning. Marco impeded by Sato who was on the track instead of the cool down lane, then having engine problems. Colton has engine trouble on his first lap and aborts.

Rinus Veekay nabs 3rd fastest qualy run at Indy ever. Nearly 6 hours left.

That skidmark Jimmie left says it all. Probably wasn't the only one, either... 

Sucks that Sato won't get a shot at the pole. He's been putting in some fast times up until this.

second fastest all time. 

i think diffy said half of the top 20 qualifying times ever were set this weekend, and that was before dixon topped the charts.

So will green flag for the 500 be at 11:45 Central on Sunday?  Trying to dig through the TV schedules that just say things like "coverage begins at 11" and whatnot, and figured you Indycar experts would know.

TIA

a crash at the start involving the Penske cars, the Ganassi cars, and Helio would be nice.   just sayin 

Might be the only way an Andretti car has a chance this year.
