St. Pete begins now! Excited to see my drivers Kirkwood, Daly, and Malukas get on with it. And also excited to see how Jacob Abel settles in, a driver I coached for a couple years in karts when he ran with us. Great kid and great family there, would love to see him do well.
Also curious to see how Prema stacks up. They have every ingredient to do well, but Indy is tough competition, not to be underestimated.
Here to watch as a fan - first time outside the 500 that I bought tickets to a race in a decade or two. Andy’s first race in IndyCar - performance engineer for Prema on the 83 - couldn’t miss it!
Kirkwood was on rails. Didn’t even look that fast honestly.
Penskes looked fantastic through 1/2/3 - like they aren’t even trying that hard at all yet. Arrow guys are the opposite - look like rock stars in terms of excitement but just doesn’t show up much on the time chart.
The option tires are going to be wild - come in fast and sticky and also go away quickly too. Should be pedal down and three stops hopefully!
Turns 3 & 10 look even skinnier than normal somehow. Going to be some carnage…
Sleepers? ECR - both cars looked solid.
Bummers - Foyt cars just don’t look the same without Cannon there. Hopefully that changes though - kinda fun when Santino is in the mix & causing headaches… and gotta pull for a Malukus comeback this year.
