INDYCAR 2023

Great drive by James Roe to finish 2nd. Almost caught McElrea for a pass on the last lap. Chadwick still finishing around 10th. I'm wondering if she needs to move team to get different coaching and setups.

Scott Dixon is inevitable.

Realistically it's last chance saloon this weekend for Dixon or Newgarden to remain with any chance of clawing back Palou for the title having to win this race and hope Palou has an early retirement

I don't think Palou will be distracted anyway with McLaren/Zak Brown suing his ass now after the drama with Ganassi suing him last year, multi year deal now for Palou to remain at Ganassi to be announced at some point. Linus Lundqvist should be announced for Ganassi number 8 car leaving Ericsson probably having his choice of replacing Rosenqvist at McLaren or Grosjean at Andretti, once the Ericsson domino falls the rest of the grid for next season should start to take shape

Good move for Ericsson he was going to be up against it trying to win a championship being teammates with Palou & Dixon, at least he will still be with strong race winning team with Herta/Kirkwood on at least twice the salary now

With Lundqvist and Armstrong very likely to be announced in the other two Ganassi cars it's the final seats at Arrow McLaren/Andretti/Rahal the best seats available next season, Malukas will end up in one of those seats sounds like he has already inked something with one of them. Illott and Rosenqvist then the next top free agents within the series you would think but a chance someone ex F1 or F2 will be hired over them

Weather's fucked. Take that original schedule and throw it out the window.

Power is such a grump. His own fault going off and having a mare at the AMR rescue team to get him started again.
