Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2017
A correction on my comment below about Alleggruccii giving away the race. He lost a driveshaft the previous run and as he got towards the end of the track he felt the vibration again and lifted to make sure the car didn't lose a driveshaft again. Jonathan I apologize for the incorrect comment below.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2017
Update from this morning.
Super Stock class was entertaining as usual. Cool temps but a pretty stiff headwind. Still, most cars picked up 3-5 from yesterday. First round of Mopar Hemi Challenge underway. So far winners are: Kent Comella Mantas Yantas S. Hebert That's the good news. Bad news, Hebert had a single run and left a river of transfluid./oil behind his car. I'm counting at last 25 Safety Safari workers cleaning up the mess but we're going to be a few minutes. |

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2017
An interesting observation- at the conclusion of Round 1 of Super Stock, there was a mass exodus of fans from the grandstands and golf carts back to the pits as Super Gas was ready to run
