I missed the race because I was at Thompson for the Icebreaker. Rowan Pennink put the famous Boehler racing "Ole Blue" #3 Modified back in victory lane for the first time in almost 5 years, 8 years for a points paying event.

I also got this video from the late model feature:

At least the segments are relatively short. The different tire compounds should be interesting. Sounds a lot like an experiment to me for NASCAR's very own REDS VS BLACKS (e- I'm sorry, Yellows and Greens) in the future.

The Open immediately precedes the All-Star Race itself. As God intended.

Aw cool man. Good for the 3. Surprised Teddy Christopher wasn't running it. I think he's been running that car for the most part of the last few years hasn't he? You can thank me for not going for the good weather by the way. Every time I go to the Ice Breaker or the World Series its like -10 degrees and/or raining and when I don't go its 60 and nice.

I can't find a list of who's driven it but a quick search says he hasn't been in it since at least 2014. I've had good luck with the Icebreaker, but Saturday nights at the world Series are usually brutal.

Perhaps some of the open wheel goons can explain the hate? Objectively she seems to have a good point.

Interesting. I don't get the GOAT talk about Alonso I see on Twitter (although I only make it a point to watch the 500 and Monaco so I am a very, very casual open wheel watcher).

I don't understand how she presents Smoke and Danica as options to run the 500 to attract fans. NASCAR is hemorrhaging fans as it stands- and I don't think either of them are as popular as the powers that be think they are. But I don't think she deserved to be attacked for having an Unpopular Opinion.

Kyle Larson in an open wheel car? Yes please :hawksin:

She didn't know that the Honda engines in F1 and IndyCars have nothing to do with each other, misstates that Alonso won't do the rookie orientation program, dismisses Alonso because he hasn't won in the last 3 years without considering the job he's done in the shitbox that's the McLaren-Honda, for starters, and she doesn't see to realize that it was McLaren and Alonso who got in touch with IMS about running at Indy, and not they other way around. She's entitled to her opinion, but basically all of her supporting arguments are factually incorrect.

It would be one thing to have a bad opinion. But like gret pointed out, the entire piece is full of inaccuracies.

Also Fernando Alonso is GOAT. Just stuck in a really bad car.

yeah that's the major problem with the aritcle.

Then she drops the whole "my 13 year old has never heard of him" line. Uh....so? People that actually follow racing have some vague idea of who he is.

I had to look him up on Wikipedia. Following F1 isn't a prerequisite for "following racing". It's OK to be a race fan and not know dick about F1/Indycar/NASCAR/whatever.

She should go back and fix her factual inaccuracies, I agree. This article smacks of "I had loving nothing else to write about but wanted to get paid this week."
