Jack Harvey just had a hard hit, he seems fine but the car definitely is not.

Yeah, that was u-u-ugly.

IndyCar is launching a streaming service available in countries where they don't currently have a TV deal.

Bad news on the Jack "The Baker" Harvey front, hope he's all right.

 

[Northstar]

Not sure if it will be on TV, but Peacock has a post show listed so hopefully we get more than just an interview with the winner like we had in St. Pete.

Sounds like a concussion, hopefully he has a speedy recovery.

Ferrucci to replace Harvey in Texas

Santino Ferrucci will return to the No.45 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Honda to substitute for Jack Harvey, who failed to clear the NTT IndyCar Series’ cognitive test after his hard impact with t…

Colton is on fire! And Rossi is having issues.

And there’s nobody in the stands, I won’t be surprised if this is the last Texas race no matter how the racing is.

 

[Tornado]

Go Sato!

 

[Northstar]

And Rossi is done, dude just cannot catch a break.

 

[Dylan]

It sucks being a Rossi fan.

 

[Tornado]

Of course. Getting screwed in the pits again.


Edit:

 

[Dylan]

Defrancesco involved in 3 separate incidents. The final of which takes him out of the race.

 

[Northstar]

Rinus to the lead!

Ferrucci is also now in the top 10, it really amazes me he doesn’t have a full time ride somewhere.

Edit: Power now out front

Edit 2: Jimmie is in the top 10 now as well!

 

[Dylan]

Great finish! Newgarden times that pass perfectly.
Jimmie Johnson finishes P6! Let’s goooo!

 

[r_outsider]

Sllliiick move by JNew right at the end there. Great for Jimmie! All in all, I thought it was a pretty good race.

 

[Northstar]

That was a surprisingly good race for Texas, it almost makes me hope it doesn't get dropped... almost.

I'm really happy to see Newgarden get the win after a rough first race, I hope it doesn't signal a Penske dominated year though. Also great to see Jimmie finish 6th and even breaking into the top 5 for a few laps, I figured he would be a little more competitive on the ovals but I wasn't expecting that.

Andretti and McLaren really need to get their crap together, they both have the necessary tools to fight with Ganassi and Penske but their execution has just been abysmal these first two races.

 

[Spirit]

I have no idea how we got a top ten out of that but I’ll take it after the weekend we’ve had.

 

[Dylan]

Maybe Texas isn’t gonna go away?

 

[JackRyanWMU]

With something resembling a second line and an awesome finish, there may be hope for Texas yet. The sooner they can get that adhesive junk worn away the better.

 

[Earth]

I wish the indycar website would get redesigned. The color scheme needs to go. They need something modern like F1

 

[Northstar]

Johnson is in doubt after learning the hard way that you should let go of the wheel if a crash is imminent.

Johnson in doubt for Long Beach after practice crash

Jimmie Johnson’s participation in the remainder of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach has been called into question after he suffered an undefined injury to his right arm and hand in a Turn 6 impac…

Thankfully it sounds like whatever injury is there isn't too bad.

Johnson gets go-ahead for Long Beach practice

Jimmie Johnson will drive the No. 48 Honda in morning practice after fracturing his hand in a crash on Friday. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver will decide whether he can continue with the remainder …

[Northstar]

...And he's in the tires again, this time while Peacock was showing him live on-board.

Pagenaud managed to get into the 1:05's right before Jimmie crashed, the Andretti and Shank cars are really looking strong thus far.

 

[Veinz]

Herta is a demon around here.

Grosjean gonna Grosjean.

 

[Northstar]

Herta is a demon around here.

I have to imagine the rest of the field is happy there's only 2 races in California every year.

 

[Veinz]

It would be nice if Indycar would broadcast qualy on TV for us here. I’m not a fan of using sketchy streams.

 

[r_outsider]

Look at Rossi showing some fire!

And then Ericsson got him.

 

[Veinz]

Herta and Newgarden about to fight for the lead and NBC goes to commercial break…

 

[r_outsider]

Would have to think McLaughlin gets a penalty for that move in the hairpin, pretty risky going backwards there.

 

[Dylan]

And Colton Herta has crashed out from 2nd!

 

[Northstar]

Andretti is seriously cursed. Rossi had a blunder during his stop and Herta got into the wall at pretty much the same time.
