98th Indianapolis 500-Mile Race - May 25th, 2014

They will throw a caution for debris with 10 laps to go

That's never happened before has it?

If the race stays green the rest of the way, can Montoya make it on one less stop than everyone else? He pitted at the end of lap 99.

But, there are several warm-up laps before the race starts. Can he possibly stretch it out to a five stop race? He just needs to make it 34 laps per stint from here to the end.

From Nate Ryan's twitter: At 100 laps, 2014 Indianapolis 500 race set record for average speed (211.871 mph), shattering previous mark of 177.687 last year. #indycar

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the significance of the flowers at turn 4?

Interesting question. What would be a factual answer?
If I was to hazard a guess, it might be to mark the amount of fatalities involving turn #4.

 

[GTPorsche]

I tried to google the flower thing, but got no answer.

On the reccent replay from Will Power's on-board camera...

Remember, these are professional race car drivers. Do not try this at home. ​

Yeah like we've got an Indycar in the garage & our own speedway out in the backyard

Who wouldn't love to have such a thing though.

Starting to get my hopes up for a good Montoya results. The longer it stays green the better...

Maybe it was better that way. Sometimes the answers from google could throw you for a loop.

As happened recently:

And so they put up badminton racquets instead of hockey sticks.

Speeding at Indy pit road again, Montoya?

 

[CAMikaze]

RHR to the lead

 

[GTPorsche]

NASCAR must be in charge of pit speed checks.

Guess that's it for his chances of winning this race now.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Give us a debris caution

 

[MustangRyan]

JPM still has one less stop to make than everyone else. If it stays green, he could still win. I definitely would have taken a splash of fuel there, though, since he already had to come in.

Not possible on a drive-thru.

This changes things completely.

They can tell you that you aren't allowed to stop on a drive through penalty?
