Dracone should go put a lap in just so he can see his name on the top, just for a while.

Edit: And they literally threw the checker as soon as I hit post.

I was sitting behind a family at Pocono who were big Briscoe fans and were really excited to see him during the drivers parade. It was at that moment, a good 2/3 of the way through the season, that I remembered Briscoe was still driving.

At least she's good looking. There's just something about ESPN reporters marrying mediocre athletes. I think guys like Christian Ponder and Ryan Briscoe make their women take their last names that way when they fade away from sports, their last names live on...

Anyone know what happened to Michael Johnson in Star Mazda? He apparently crashed in Turn 3 in first practice and is in the ICU with a broken hip and pelvis. Jesus.

Was there a Canadian driver that was pulling away from him so he decided to crash rather than finish the lap?

~~Twitter seems silent.~~
Nevermind. It's Pro Mazda, not Star. Looking into it.

Nothing new on that front.

HORRIBLE PRO MAZDA CRASH

Paralyzed Pro Mazda driver Michael Johnson suffered a big setback on Friday when he crashed his car with enough force to destroy the chassis. Emergency workers had to cut him from the carbon fiber tub. Johnson, who is paralyzed from the waist down and uses hand controls to pilot formula cars, did not complain of any major injuries at the time, but x-rays at the hospital showed "fractures to the hip and pelvis," according to IndyCar.
Johnson, who has a strong legion of fans and supporters, was due to have many visitors from the Mazda Road To Indy paddock Friday night to keep him company and lend moral support as he starts the recovery process.

I read that thinking it meant he was Paralyzed in the crash, that's good at least.

I guess that's the advantage of being paralyzed.

Just go into the screen where you uninstalled the app and disable notifications, problem solved

I don't think we need to worry too much about parity, top 15 within one second currently.

Yeah, and 3 Honda's in the top 8.

Track record is definitely falling this afternoon. It might take a Dixon-esque last lap monster lap for anyone to beat Penske though.

No. But Graham and Pagenaud are already faster than last years pole.

Also for the last few minutes we've been watching form Hinch's onboard. ...as he sits in the pits waiting for the next session.

Edit: the image quality issues seem to be interlacing. What part of their processing chain could possibly be introducing interlacing in TYOOL 2015?
