Good news for all of you is... this weekend is the ESPN/ABC finale of IndyCar coverage in 2016. Everything else after Detroit is on the NBC networks after tomorrow's coverage.

WE'RE (ALMOST) FREE!

Pagenaud on pole for today's race.

Rossi was putting in a pretty solid lap and then Marco had to go and be an Andretti not named Mario and 🤬 it all up for everyone.

Remember that today is not only the back end of the Dual in Detroit, but also the ESPN/ABC finale of the 2016 season. All coverage after today's race will be on the NBC networks and covered by the likes of Leigh Diffey, Rick Allen, and folks like that. With that said, good luck to all drivers and teams competing today up in MoTown.

Last practice session for the 2017 Indy 500 until next season

One more band of showers is coming toward Belle Isle and should/could arrive right around when the TV broadcast starts. It does appear to be weakening so it could be nothing more than a sprinkle.

EDIT: Just saw Will Buxton's periscope from pit lane and the sun is out and the rain is gone.

Shame this isn't on NBCSN because Will could actually be doing proper work instead of, well, ABC doing "work".

 

[catamount39]

ABC's definition of work is definitely on Homer Simpson levels.

James Hinchcliffe is pissed!

 

[GTPorsche]

Hinch has every right to be pissed. That was pleb driving at the start of the race.

Rossi with a broken piece on the front wing.

Rossi with a broken piece on the front wing.

He ran into the back of Sato.

 

[Eva]

He ran into the back of Sato.

Thanks. Missed how he got it.

 

[IforceV8]

Reds are done.

 

[Eva]

I wish Cheever was done too.

 

[GTPorsche]

Either I haven't noticed it, or there's been no Indy 500 mentions yet...

 

[Eva]

Contact between Kimball and Newgarden.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

The racing right now is intense. A lot of people defending their positions pretty hard.

 

[Eva]

Either I haven't noticed it, or there's been no Indy 500 mentions yet...

Not yet. But the silly comments like "there's only one winner per weekend" get on my nerves.

 

[IforceV8]

Rossi is the fastest car on the track but is buried in 20th.

 

[Panoz]

It's been cutthroat racing so far.

 

[IforceV8]

The battle for the lead will end soon with TK and Seb pitting.

 

[GTPorsche]

How is it that two veteran racers have never seen tire warmups happen before?

INDY REFERENCE

 

[IforceV8]

Field is split between 2 and 3 stop strategies.

 

[Eva]

Montoya binned it.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Wow. Montoya just lost it by himself.

 

[Jahgee]

Juan Problem

 

[Dylan]

NOOO MONTOYA!!!!!
