Looks like they are eventually posted on indycar.com - it has them for previous races.
Assuming you're there, they were stacks of them free at Mid-Ohio when I was there, so I assume it's the same at Road America.

Yeah they were handing them out at the 500 too.

If you have the app installed it's also a link under the schedule for the particular race. 

Nearly got run over by Seabass fleeing the autograph session in a golf cart. 

Ferucci was a passenger and hopped out along the way and ran back in our direction. I was close enough to assault him, but regretfully, I didn't.

That's happened to me in the Houston GRB paddock, but it was Mario on a moped

I've had a similar experience with Matt Kenseth once - close enough to notice that he is missing a molar. 

Am I the only one who thinks of Rosenqvist as Felix Rosenpenis? 

Looks like Ferucci had a mechanical failure in qualifying. A few people cheered when the news came over the PA system. 

Rossi on the raggedest part of the edge in the first part of qualifying. Colton Herta looks strong. 

All official Alonso merchandise is 40% off.

Qualification was good. Herta and Rossi both on the edge the whole time. Herta just barely edging him out the whole way. 

Pretty clumsy by Herta there who squeezes Pagenaud and then re-entered the track and almost collided with Dixon.

Herta is a little like rookie year Verstappen. Clearly fast but perhaps a little too ambitious or aggressive and crashes out. 

Dixon is having a heck of a recovery drive. 

the winner wins by a 30 seconds, yet the entire race is infinitely more entertaining than the f1 shit show today

F1 is interesting, if you don't focus on the very top. You have to look at all practice and qualifying sessions and the midfield battles. Hell, Leclerc probably would have probably passed Bottas for second  if there was another lap.

getting around to watching the race on nbc app.  have i mentioned how much i hate it?  the amount of pre-race show is apparently variable, sometimes as little as 10 minutes, for this race it was 50.  i didn't know that, so i skipped ahead about  3 or 4 minutes at a time looking for the cars to start running.  problem is they insert unskippable 2-3 minute blocks of ads so i had to sit, wait for the ads to pass, see the cars still weren't running, skip forward another few minutes, nope, cars not running, repeat repeat repeat repeat. 

as for the race, 5th block of ads happened on lap 22.  you miss a more than a lap per block of ads, so out of 22 laps they've shown 14 or 15.  fucking awful.

i should just go watch a pirate stream posted to youtube or something.  

 

edit: came back at lap 25.  laps are 1:47 or so.  fuck you nbc

Edited by elfenix

come back from break 7 on lap 37.  go into break 8 on lap 39. 

commercial, recap, now back to commercials. 

edit: the commercail break (which was shown on the broadcast) has been interrupted to show the app's commercials.  wtf

Edited by elfenix

You'd like to think that if you're watching after the fact, they might have the bright idea to at least show the entirety of the race, regardless of their ad blitz.

Like ESPN does on replays of F1. They have a chick come on, say we are going to commercial break, but when we come back you will be back at the exact same spot and not miss a second of racing. That's how to do it.

NBC sucks ass. It absolutely blows my mind that there are still people out there saying they miss NBC's shitty F1 coverage and prefer it over Sky's coverage on ESPN ... but then, there are a shit ton of stupid motherfuckers out there.

Captain tells Power to put it into the tires and save Pagenaud from Dixon

That occurred to me too. 

I don't honestly think that happened, but I hate that IndyCar will end a race under caution. 

I don't think Dixon was passing him anyway and based on his crazy reverse gear burn out I'm sure it was an honest mistake by Power. 

Power already had a stupid move at the same corner in the first lap. Pretty bad race by him. 

I think Dixon had minor damage from brushing the wall that kept him behind Simon.

Sato being Sato, ruins both Arrow car's races. Dude is nuts. 

That was good stuff for a bit. Dixon had a great setup move to get him. 

That's some audibling

 

Edit: or it wasn't and he'll have reds on the last few laps

 

Looks like too much lapped traffic for Dixon to lose this, and no way RHR catches, unless the tires just pop

 

 

Edit: or maybe Sato takes him out

 

 

 

Holy shit Newgarden!!! Throwing away so many points

Rossi out of fuel just across the finish line, wow

I gotta say I am not a fan of lapped traffic being in the way. I know many like to see them all race, but I like the F1 blue flag setup.

I was just coming on here to ask about blue flags and what's up with all these lapped assholes getting in the way of the fight for the win. 

The race was on NBC.

NBCSports or NBC. 

Not much else going on this time of year so NBC lately.

McLaren will enter the IndyCar Series full-time from 2020 in partnership with Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, running two Chevrolet-powered cars.

 

Edited by elfenix

Rumored for a while but was still doubting it because ASP currently runs Honda. 

It is also being rumored that Colton Herta will end up there meaning one of either Ericsson or Hinch will be out. 

Then I presume they will run a third car with Alonso for the 500. 

Hinch has always been Honda's boy, so most figured he'd be gone with this news, but who knows ... 

 

McLaren gonna put in more than a couple days trying to build an indycar this time???

I hope so because aren't they just partnering with SPM? It's not like they are starting a team from scratch.

Yes, SPM is doing everything under the “McLaren SP” name. Mclaren is sending some management guys over like Gil de Ferran, though.

I've also heard they've been sending engineers & other personnel.
