I caught the Lights race earlier. I guess they adopted Push to Pass too? It made for really fun racing. I want to try and follow Lights more closely this year. Hopefully the rest of the events will be as good as the first race was.

RE: Qualifying.

Marco frustrates me.

I can see the guy has some semblance of talent, he seems to be able to run up front quite often. But he seems to lack some sort of extra gear to get a few more extra wins. Where as guys like Power, Dixon has that, and then some.

He's not horrible. He can get in a position to get a win unlike a lot of guys we'd deem on here to be "bad". I don't know what else you do with the guy other than try new strategies for him (ie make him pit at different times, etc).

I think the assumption is that Marco is coasting because he knows his ride is safe until Dad finally puts his foot down.

The way I see it is that his team is good at giving him a fast car and making strategy calls, but he sucks at converting track position into race wins.

Marco is good at peaking early. He'll start out fast, then plateau while everyone else gets faster

I'm excited as I always am for opening day for another series, but Indy feels like it's gonna have a killer season if the Honda pace is actually there and it's not the entire Chevy set sandbagging.

Me neither. Went onto Indycar's live streaming page and was surprised when the leaderboard of the Indycar race was on instead. I don't remember St. Pete being on this early before.

Actually looking at the replay it looks like Kimball just got crushed against the wall because Rahal wasn't looking.
