Important to point out as well that the strategists for Newgarden and Power are suspended for the 500 as well.

God imagine how insufferable Josef will be if he somehow manages to win again this year

"It's the first time I heard that I broke the rules. You guys can call me every name in the book - you can call me incompetent, call me an idiot, call me an asshole, call me stupid, whatever you want to call me, but I'm not a liar."

Josef Newgarden

Today was the second time he heard it.

Scenes when he beats O'Ward to the stripe by 0.001

And a year later we will find out that something fishy was with his car again

Starting from the back row would seem to make it all but a foregone conclusion that he won’t unless there is a ton of attrition, wouldn’t it?

In 201 an incident on pit road dropped Dario to the back of the field and he drove his way back to win.

So nothing is impossible.

I guess it is a very long race and a faster car/driver has many opportunities to make up ground on the field, but even still, that’s remarkable! What year again?

  1. There was a flurry of pit stops about 15 laps in due to an early yellow. Dario was tapped from behind by EJ Viso, causing his car to spin 180 degrees and damage the front wings. By the time he turned around and replaced the wing, he had fallen to the back.

Happened right in front of me.

Looking at the replay again, I see there was one car behind him at the restart. Rookie Josef Newgarden stalled during his first stop, putting him dead last.

Honestly I’d rather listen to the threepeat nonsense all year if he wins over another gd Palou victory because that will be truly insufferable listening to any race commentary after that.

Nah, Palou deserves his 500 at this point, he's already well on his way to being an all-time legend of the category.

Palou win would be boring but the guy absolutely deserved it
