Penske To The Top! - Indy 500 Practice Day 2 Report 

Very.

too bad he is a knicks fan. used to like scotty lol

It's true. They are all 2012 Dallara chassis.

@@3338MAN he is predicting the future that we will still have it in another 3 . just with 1 spec engine ......

He’s not that informed! Completed omitted Tony Stewart!

Yes, surprised me as well!

The ken Schrader?

Yep, in 1984? I think

Tim Richmond also drove at Indy in the early 80's.

That would be a good video for February during the lead up to Daytona. Throw in another video for Indycar drivers that have competed at the 24hours of Daytona.

Wouldn't that be amazing!

I do too and his odds are the same on my sports book. Stars aligning? Maybe I cleaned up last time. Would love to see it.

Allison had some very uncomplimentary things to say about the crew on his Indy car effort with Penske. I was not expecting it from a team with their reputation.

Yes, I think so. Also Juan Montoya, Danica, A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Janet Guthrie. I'm sure there are more. Connor Daly recently.

@@GrandpaShark many more, Ribbs, Rutherford, Hurtibise, Carter, Sneva, Johncock, Donahue, Sullivan, plus....

No tow really doesn’t mean anything

@@Soggywafffles true . who would want to lead the race or do anything crazy like that

Um, qualifying?

Armstrong will be ok, and it's not his driving ability that's the problem. With Angela Cullen with him now, he can work on the mental side but more importantly the physical side. He lacks the physicality and needs to put some muscle on that will help him drive an Indycar on the ovals. No power steering and way more stress on the neck muscles compared to his F2 days. It's very noticeable the influence Angela Cullen has already had on Armstrong, as last year he always seemed to doubt his abilities when being interviewed. He seems more confident in his abilities and his body language is far more positive this year compared to last year.

Everybody has been wanting a new chassis for the past 5-6 years now. All the senior drivers, teams, and fans too!

I don't think they're going to spec a new chassis until they figure out their engine situation.

I think they both raced Indycar before they went to Nascar. We need David to do a segment on those drivers too. I can think of Juan Montoya, Danica Patrick, Robby Gordon, A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti.

First day… quite down

Quiet

Impossible to predict the weather beyond this weekend.

The past 4 (?) years engine boost has been reduced for practice and is only raised to qualifying level on Friday before Qualifying. Also the teams have not had the time on track to work on both a qualifying and a race setup. In the 'old' days they didn't start to work on a race day setup until the week after qualifying, another reason why second week qualifiers were in trouble on race day.

I think the idea was highlighting drivers who made their name initially in NASCAR and would attempt the double/Indianapolis at some point thereafter.

@@daneamann6225 ok!!!! Tony Stewart

Heck yeah. Let the crybabies cry some more!!

@@3338MAN 44 in a Row? Hot damn, I went to it 1 time and I had enough of that madhouse/shitshow. But yeah, could definitely understand the nostalgia deal, the only time I went there it felt like I got stuck in a time warp. And the atmosphere feels more like it's people just going there to have a "Woodstock" in the infield with a race that just so happens to be going on (which I don't know if that's what's supposed to be the idea there).

Richmond was an indycar driver first

As were Stewart,Robby Gordon, & John Andretti.

I care. So much for "no one" and your post's entire premise.
