CBJSprague24 posted:Allen Bestwick was also released by ESPN. His last assignment for ESPN will be Detroit: I mean unless they "rent" Diffey, Bell and Co? I would think this is it. This has been quite a while coming honestly. You could tell in the mid-2000's ESPN was starting to care less and less about the "500". They fired Paul Page, scaled back their coverage, promotions and such. Lot of their idiot talking heads said a lot of horrible poo poo about the series from 2002 on to boot. They tried their best to "ESPN" it up with "Danica" but ultimately that wasn't all that successful in a lot of ways.

Let us leave dark marks on the exit of corners (from the wheelspin). Here, your corner speed is about the same as your bloody [straightline] speed. Yes. I've long been an advocate of tires that go off a bit on ovals.

Already more of a crowd out here for the Silver Crown cars than for qualifying last night. Which isn't saying much but hopefully it keeps filling in.

Without a doubt. I'm pretty sure there was wheel on wheel contact going into 3 to make that pass for the lead. Stands still looking kind of sad.

I wish they would red flag the race. Just having a caution is doing nothing more than taking 15~20 laps of the race distance away from the fans. They need to have consistent rules, too. Throw a red flag when X happens regardless of it happens 5 laps into the race or with 5 laps to go.

An 8 mph difference in the straight and corner speeds. Down force is good and fun and totally not the worst.

https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/power-calls-for-radical-shift-in-indycars-horsepower-downforce-ratio-899373/ from that: "IndyCar has upped the downforce level for Phoenix since the test here in February, following complaints from certain drivers that without an increase, it would be too difficult to challenge the cars ahead." Who the gently caress are these "certain drivers", why are they so dumb, and why would Indycar listen to them

Hard to say, going to go out on a limb and say the numbers are equal-ish to last year. IOC might be able to weigh in as well.
