Just spoke with someone at Foyt and can confirm Grace Autosport is NOT involved with Zach Veach's 500 ride. Sounds like their program will never materialize, I guess this is what happens when women get involved in racing...

Technically though they were still Manual Transmissions, and remained that way until the end of 2006.

Cosworth does the electronics. They could very well build an engine but, again, a partner is needed.

Yeah I feel dumb for making that comment in the first place :suicide:

Also Pigot has been quite the beast so far this weekend, finished P5 in the first practice and is sitting P6 right now. It'll be interesting to see if this carries over to qualifying, I mean his name isn't Marco Andretti so I'd say his chances are better.

EDIT: I remember someone mentioning the end fence on Chevy front wings, and I saw this in the garage earlier:

Yup. I tried getting her some information about Rossi's paint scheme for the 500 when I was at Phoenix, but the Andretti staff was being real vague.

Yeah Askew is killing it in USF2000 and is almost a lock to win the championship. Same with Martin in Pro Mazda although the race that just started is only their 3rd of the season

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.

heres my take: conor is fine.

Will Power on pole at a road course, i have never been so shocked. Whatever problems penske was having on the street courses really hasnt translated to the perm tracks.

Power and Castroneves have literally alternated every pole this season

  • St. Pete - Power
  • Long Beach - Castroneves
  • Barber - Power
  • Phoenix - Castroneves
  • Indy GP - Power

Also while yes Daly is a mediocre driver, he's a cool bro and deserves a ride

Foyt is the worst team on the grid at the moment though, so it's hard to judge how good Conor's been doing.
