Robert Wickens, a rookie, led 69. The Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver started from pole and was dominating his maiden Verizon IndyCar Series race, until lap 109.<br />
<br />
With just a few laps to go the Chevrolet powered car of Max Chilton made contact with a tire barrier, stalling the car. The newly renamed AMR INDYCAR Safety Team was quick to the scene, restarting the car in seconds, allowing for the green flag to fly for the final 2 laps.<br />
<br />
The running order entering Turn 1 was Wickens, Rossi, Bourdais and Rahal. Entering Turn 2 the order was shuffled to Bourdais, Rahal, Rossi... (jump to P18)... Wickens.<br />
<br />
After looking at the tape, it appears Wickens entered the turn on the same racing line that he the previous 108 trips through the corner. The only difference being this time the No. 27 of Alexander Rossi was on the inside. The two made contact, spinning Wickens, pushing Rossi out of line, and the rest was history.<br />
<br />
Race Notes:<br />
- 366 on-track passes to break the old race record of 323 set in the VERY wet 2008 event<br />
- Honda powered 8 of the top 10 cars, including the top 6<br />
- Rookies Filled 7 of the last 9 finishing positions<br />
- Carlin Teammates Chilton & Kimball filled the other two<br />
- 4 different teams filled the first 4 finishing positions<br />
- 6 different teams filled the first 7 finishing positions<br />

<br />
Bourdais was injured in a Turn 2 crash on his 3rd lap of his first attempt on the first day of Qualifications for last May's 101st Indianapolis 500. The French driver suffered multiple pelvis fractures and a right hip fracture.<br />
<br />
The 36-time race winner, completed a medical evaluation test at Mid-Ohio July 31.<br />
<br />
Since the incident, James Davison, Esteban Gutierrez and Tristan Vautier have filled in to pilot the No. 18 Dale Coyne car.<br />
<br />
It's likely Dale Coyne racing will continue to utilize a replacement driver for the next two rounds on ovals at Pocono and Gateway. A return for the final two races at Watkins Glen and Sonoma is very possible.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033572283320617128.post-87093217213938873502017-07-17T08:23:00.000-04:002017-07-25T07:03:01.277-04:00Montoya & Servia To Test 2018 Aero KitThe testing program for next season's new aero kit kicks off July 25th on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval, Oriol Servia and Juan Pablo Montoya will be behind the wheel.<br />

<br />
Vautier previously competed on the Texas oval in 2013 and 2015 finishing 18th and 20th with Schmidt Peterson Motorsports and Dale Coyne.<br />
<br />
<i>“We chose Tristan to fill the 18 seat at Texas because of his previous experience at Texas Motor Speedway,”</i> said Team Owner Dale Coyne. <i>“We think he can help the team and Ed (Jones) who has never raced or even tested there. Tristan has remained close with the team and he’s always done a good job for us. I expect much of the same going into this race weekend.”</i><br />
<br />
Coyne's No. 18, which was left vacant following Sebastien Bourdais's qualifying injury in Indianapolis, was piloted by former F1 driver Esteban Gutierrez in Detroit.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033572283320617128.post-9566820360696956342017-06-05T10:45:00.000-04:002017-06-08T10:46:14.183-04:00Rahal Dominates Detroit<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Entering the Detroit Duals the Verizon IndyCar Series saw 6 different winners through the first 6 races of 2017. The streak continued through Dual 1, with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing's Graham Rahal becoming the 7th winner in 7 events.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Thanks to Rahal the streak came to a screeching halt at Dual 2. Rahal's domination of the first race continued into the second, leading 96 of the 140 race laps (69%) over the weekend.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Oddly, the top 2 drivers in the Championship (Dixon & Castroneves) have yet to win a race. Drivers who have won this season currently sit 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th & 18th (Sato, Pagenaud, Newgarden, Rahal, Power, Hinchcliffe & Bourdais).</div>

<br />
Verizon IndyCar Series qualifications will be held each race morning. Saturday's sessions is 10:05-10:35 while Sunday's is 10:45-11:15.<br />
<br />
Unlike most road/street course events, qualifications will not follow the multiple round knock-out format. The entered cars will be split up into two groups. The quickest lap from either of the two sessions will become the pole winner. The winner's group will then file into the odd number starting positions with the other group in the even positions<br />

Being the largest attended sporting event in the world, I was super excited to try out the technique at last Sunday's Indianapolis 500. Unfortunately, I was unable to secure an ideal location to get the most out of the large photo. But, I still think it's pretty cool.<br />

<br />
Sato drinks the milk in his 8th try, his first with Andretti. In his previous 7 appearances his average finish was 20th.<br />
<br />
Andretti Autosport continues their domination of Indianapolis with back-to-back wins and their 3rd in 4 years.<br />

The biggest incident of the day came in the Turn 1/2 short chute where Jay Howard got up into the marbles. After contacting the wall, Howard collected Pole sitter Scott Dixon. Dixon took flight sending him into the inside fence. It was scary, but both drivers walked away.<br />
<br />
One of the biggest stories heading into the day was the reliability of Honda's engines. By the end of the day 3 of their power plants expired.<br />
<br />
The first came at the expense of Ryan Hunter-Reay. The second to Charlie Kimball. And the third took out the biggest story of the month, Fernando Alonso.<br />

<br />
There were no accidents during the 960 laps turned, but the engine of James Hinchcliffe went up in smoke with just a few minutes left in the session.<br />
<br />
The attrition rate of Honda engines throughout the month has been nothing but startling. At least 5 Honda power plants have now prematurely expired, leaving the 18 car's equipped with the Japanese manufacturer waiting for disaster on Sunday.<br />

<br />
Scott Dixon captured the pole with a 4-lap average of 232.164mph, the quickest qualifying speed seen at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 21-years. You would have to go back to 1996 when Arie Luyendyk set the all-time qualifying record of 236.986mph.<br />
<br />
Dixon's pole win was his 3rd, tying Johnny Rutherford, Mario Andretti, Tom Sneva and Arie Luyendyk for 5th all time. Only Rick Mears (6), Rex Mays (4), A.J. Foyt (4) and Helio Castroneves (4) have more.<br />

<br />
Davison has previously started the "500" two times. In 2014 he ran with KVRT and in 2015 with Dale Coyne. He's started 28th & 33rd and finished 16th & 27th.<br />
<br />
Stefan Wilson, who gave up his ride with Andretti to make way for Fernando Alonso, was seen entering and leaving the Coyne garage Sunday morning.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033572283320617128.post-45818847733604564252017-05-20T07:45:00.000-04:002017-05-21T11:28:09.055-04:00Indianapolis 500 Qualifications Day 1The first day of qualifications for the 101st Indianapolis 500 was filled with ups and downs. But mainly downs.<br />
<br />
The biggest news of the day came about halfway through qualifications when Sebastien Bourdais lost control of his No. 18 Honda on his 3rd of 4 qualifying laps.<br />
<br />
After running the two quickest laps of the day, Bourdais' back end got out from under him near the apex of Turn 2. The car overcorrected, sending the French driver directly into the SAFER barrier. While sliding down the back straight, the Dallara turned, flipped, flipped back, spun, and eventually came to a stop. After a few minutes Sebastien was extricated from his car, placed on a backboard and transported to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.<br />
<br />
According to the INDYCAR PR Staff, Bourdais was awake, alert and never lost consciousness.<br />
<br />
<b>UPDATE 5/20 8:09 -</b> Bourdais suffered multiple fractures to his pelvis and a fracture to his right hip. He will undergo surgery tonight.<br />
<br />
<b>UPDATE 5/21 11:25am - </b>According to INDYCAR Medical Director Dr. Geoffrey Billows “Surgery went well. I’ve met with Sebastien this morning and he was doing even better than I expected”<br />
<br />
31 of the 33 entered cars made qualifying attempts today. Zach Veach, who crashed late in the day on Friday did not make an attempt and the No. 18 car of Bourdais did not have a time.<br />
<br />
The quickest 9 cars are locked into the front 3 rows and will re-qualify tomorrow for their starting positions.<br />
<br />
Those currently in positions 10-33 will also re-qualify tomorrow for the back 8 rows.<br />

Harvey had a crash in Turn 3 earlier in the week.<br />
<br />
The second incident came at the expense of Spencer Pigot. The Juncos driver lost control in Turn 2 and continued down the back stretch. Pigot got out under his own power and has been cleared to drive.<br />
<br />
The third and final incident came late in the day at the hands of rookie driver Zach Veach. Without spinning, Veach hit the wall at the exit of Turn 1. His Chevrolet powered car slid through the chute and into the Turn 2 wall. After a few seconds, the Ohio native exited under his own power and has been cleared to drive<br />

The No. 44 machine turned 1 lap.<br />
<br />
The first incident of the day came at the expense of Josef Newgarden.<br />
<br />
The newest Team Penske driver lost control of his No. 2 Dallara at the exit of Turn 1. The car snapped around, smacking the outside wall with the left side of his chassis. The car continued down the short chute, making light left side contact with the Turn 2 wall.<br />
<br />
Newgarden exited the car under his own power and has been checked, released and cleared to drive.<br />
<br />
Later in the day the track went yellow due to a large amount of smoke emitting from the No. 18 car of Sebastien Bourdais. It appeared to be an engine issue.<br />
<br />

Of Note:<br />
<br />
- Tony Stewart, who's foundation is working with Jay Howard's program for the '500' was at the track today.<br />
<br />
- With Stewart was Camping World Truck and dirt driver, Rico Abreu.<br />
<br />
- Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith, was at IMS today as the band toured through Indianapolis. He spent a lot of time in the pit box of Team Penske's Will Power. Power is also a drummer.<br />

<br />
Team Penske announced around 2:30 that their 5 car stable would not turn laps at speed in the 6-hour session due to wind. Many other teams followed suit.<br />
<br />
On the day 405 laps were turned by 21 drivers. Many of those laps weren't at speed, as teams are allowed to practice hot pit stops from 2-4 each day. For comparison, 1,306 and 2,404 laps were turned the first two days of practice.<br />

<br />
Rather than an all-skate from 12 to 6, the first 15 minutes were allotted to Jack Harvey and Zach Veach, who have yet to complete ROP.<br />
<br />
In that 15 minute stretch 9 laps were turned by the two drivers.<br />
<br />
Harvey - 5 laps - 214.072mph<br />
Veach - 4 laps - 214.016mph<br />
<br />
At 12:15 all drivers were allowed onto the track. By the end of the day 32 drivers ran, with 33 different car/driver combinations. Everyone but Lazier hit the track, while Marco Andretti ran 6 laps in Jack Harvey's No. 50<br />

<br />
Six veterans also hit the course for installation laps, those were Sato, Carpenter, Hildebrand, Munoz, Rahal and Pigot<br />
<br />
All Practice 2pm-6pm<br />
<br />
Veach, who was only able to turn 3 laps in the earlier session, was allowed to continue his Rookie Orientation with the veterans in the second session. Veach went on to run 20 more laps on the day.<br />
<br />
The first incident of the month came just before 4pm when an apparent equipment failure sent the No. 50 Honda of Rookie Jack Harvey into Turn 2 wall as he was leaving the pits. The car appeared to get high in the corner sending the Dallara into the SAFER Barrier. After relatively light contact with the wall, Harvey continued toward the inside wall where he purposefully spun to avoid another wall impact.<br />
<br />
Harvey was checked, released and cleared to drive.<br />
<br />
The second incident came late in the day when Graham Rahal's No. 15 machine began smoking down the back stretch. The car made it to his pit under it's own power, but an on board fire and oil caused a yellow.<br />
<br />
By the end of the day 32 of the 33 entered cars hit the track, Buddy Lazier did not.<br />
<br />
1,306 laps were turned.<br />

<br />
On the far left side of the image you can find the Turn 5/6 viewing mounds, then down Hulman Boulevard and into the Turn 7/8/9/10 sequence. If you attended the race and watched from any of those locations try and find yourself!<br />
<br />
To explore the image, just click the '+' and '-' buttons in the upper right corner. The diagonal arrows will expand full screen, while the circle arrow will pull the image back to it's home position. I highly recommend going full screen!<br />
<br />
Just below the Grand Prix image is a 3,500 megapixel image taken during one of April's oval tests. Can not wait to give a similar angle a try when the stands are packed with 300,000+ fans.<br />

<br />
Marco Andretti, Alonso's Andretti Autosport teammate, was first in the No. 29 McLaren Honda to put some shake down laps on the Dallara in the morning. After getting the car setup, Alonso turned his first laps in an Indy Car just before 11am.<br />
<br />
By 11:55 Alonso passed all 3 ROP phases and was cleared to practice with Indianapolis 500 veterans.<br />
<br />
Those 3 Phases consisted of:<br />
<br />
10 laps between 205-210mph<br />
15 laps between 210-215mph<br />
15 laps 215+mph<br />
<br />
Thoughts<br />
<br />
1) Alonso is as cool as a cucumber.<br />
2) Alonso completed of the quickest Rookie Orientation Programs I can remember.<br />
3) He has plenty of help. 82 races, 5 owner wins & 3 driver wins between owners/teammates/driver coach & Mario.<br />
4) Alonso made an impressive maneuver to avoid a bird entering Turn 3.<br />
5) RIP to the two other birds he couldn't avoid later in the day.<br />
6) No. 29 team was very methodical. Checked several boxes in day 1.<br />
7) More media were on hand for today's test than some normal Indy 500 practice days.<br />
8) Kevin Lee was terrific on IndyCar's online test stream.<br />
