    What’s the aversion to driving on a damp track anyway? They do it in F1

    Three Honda engines gone in the race at 57 laps of 200. Another caution. Lots of strategies from the cautions.

    It wasn't just damn there the track had turned into a lake. They also don't do wet tires in nascar and the cars are set up different. I also think there was a concern for lightening reason why the people were evacuated. A few F1 have stopped due to rain was it last year or the year before a race only had a few laps behind a safety car. Also wet tires are for a wet track not a saturated lake track

    Another caution. Seems like the track is beginning to get slippery

    Wild race. Poor, poor Pato, heartbroken for him. Great to see Irishman Conor Daly in the top 10 in the end, did better than I thought.

    As a Herta fan and a member of the Anyone But Newgarden (or Ferrucci) club, I was bitterly disappointed with that Indy 500. Was screaming for Pato at the end. Now to try and work after 5 hours sleep.

    These cars are already utilising the maximum out of slick tyres, and on the limit of adhesion as it is with a tiny contact patch owing to the tyre stagger. You absolutely cannot add the variable of wet conditions or treaded tyres to that mix, especially not at these speeds.

    I'm gutted for Pato when he pulled out of that pass on Newgarden at Turn 3 on Lap 199 I didn't think he was going to pull off the win as if he was already haunted after the previous two years

    Hard to root for Newgarden for this two in a row with what went on St. Pete

    You could see him hold back and delay his final pass, but still passed too soon allowing Newgarden time to come back at him.

    But then if he wasn't ahead before the last lap he would be in danger of a caution on the last lap

    Maybe if one of his team mates to hit the wall and bring out caution on that last lap it would have helped

    Tom Blomqvist has been dropped by Meyer Shank in favour of Castroneves for Detroit and Road America in what is a move to get that no. 66 car back into the top 22 leader's circle. Blomqvist will be back in IMSA with that team for 2025 so he is probably not going to return surely Meyer Shank have to be looking at Malukas to take over that car when he is fit with Rosenqvist would be a very strong lineup

    Tristan Vautier also making at return to Indycar for Detroit the latest ride hopper into Dale Coyne's no. 51 car

    The track is a joke with nothing around the area that it could be altered dramatically, the race is now a corporate junket for General Motors so there is unfortunately no appetite for Indycar/Penske to go back to Belle Isle and they have a good excuse that Belle Isle is logistically awkward for public accessibility
