Really it should tell you the lovely shape motorsports sponsorships are in general when Scott loving Dixon has room on the car.

You could argue that mid pack in Cup would be better exposure than Dixon, just thanks to the poor coverage ICS gets. At least for the 500 they should get some decent viewership.

That was my first thought also. Lose the yellow stripe and we're on to something.

Speaking of which I'm watching 2001 CART and it's starting to implode. It seems like every race there was infighting between the league and the Engine manufacturers, from the future regs to popoff valves.

Early morning practice starting. There's storms on the radar though, though still on the IL side of things.

Also, schedule today and brodcasts:
8-830: Group 1 practice (Livestream)
830-9: Group 2 practice (Livestream)
9-930: All practice (Livestream)
11-1500: Qualifying (Watch ESPN)
1500-1600: Qualifying (Livestream)
1600-1800: Qualifying (ABC)

e:
Two things: Indy has a slight chance of severe weather according to the NWS, and expecting rain and storms mid-day. They'll probably clear up and have the track dry by the time the ABC broadcast starts.

Tomorrow's schedule:
1200-1245: 10-33 Practice (Livestream)
1315-1400: 1-9 Practice (Livestream)
1445-1645: 10-33 Qualifying
1700-1800: 1-9 Qualifying

The ABC Broadcast starts at 1600, with the portion of qualifying before that on Watch ESPN

They're saying on Twitter that everyone will get one pass today. Seems like it kinda defeats the purpose of two days but should be interesting all the same.

Going once through the qual line first in draw order, before the day is official or any bumping starts, is normal. We just won't get much/any time for people to try to bump into the Top 9 and that sucks, cause its fun.
