Max fried a set of brakes during practice 2. Glad it wasn't another Honda engine.

A small part of my brain wants IRL to go to Talladega, but then the other 90% tells me that would probably be a horrible idea.

Sounds like Gutierrez will be in the car for the rest of the season, with the exception of potentially Texas. Seems to be a lot of chatter about more cars next year, more than I remember in a long time. Engine supply is sadly going to be a limiter, but apparently Chevy and Honda are willing to commit to 13+. So any new cars probably need to have bowties on em. Cygni fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Jun 3, 2017 |

Coyne rolled the dice this season. Hopefully SeaBass comes back fully healed and 2018 can be their breakthrough year.

Hopefully he's getting some of that Telmex money to soften the blow.

Wait, do people like Graham? Honest question, as a casual fan I always got the impression he was a shithead off the track and an underperformer riding on his father's coattails on the track?

I like him more than I used to, since I would just lump him and Marco together when they were first starting out, and compared to Marco anybody looks a lot better

Honest question, as a casual fan I always got the impression he was a shithead off the track and an underperformer riding on his father's coattails on the track? Graham has gotten significantly better over the last few years. His biggest issue is that he races on a primarily one car team which makes developing the car a pain in the rear end. "shithead off the track and an underperformer riding on his father's coattails on the track" is Marco to a T, though

What even happened to Marco? All I know of him really is he did those Honda F1 tests years ago and then nothing beyond that. Plus I think Mario hyped him up quite a bit for F1. Is he really just a shitlord?

He shows flashes of speed at Indy and maybe other ovals, but he probably wouldn't have kept his ride in IndyCar if he wasn't an Andretti.

He's basically the male Danica of IndyCar, and probably about as talented.

He had a good year in 2015, was in championship contention going into the last races 2015 was also the year I started to watch Indycar. He's also from Ohio and I am a sucker for rooting for Ohio sports. Last year was a down year but he was consistently one of the fastest Hondas.

I'd probably put Marco a bit higher than Danica? I mean she's had one win in her entire career, and zero cup wins.

Marco has 2 wins, only 1 of which was well earned, so a bit higher sounds right. Paul Tracy (who had quite the history with Michael back in the day) taking shots at him on commentary is always a good time.

They seem to be pretty comparable when looking at the end of the year standings when they were both in IndyCar. Sometimes Danica finished ahead of him and other times he was ahead of Danica.

It's just a shame that AJ never went to F1. I imagine he definitely had the skills to be WDC.

Graham is one of my favorites. He's been hurt lately being on a one-car team, but you can see once he's got someone with him he's capable of being as fast as anyone on any given day. Still in the lower half of drivers as far as talent goes, but that makes him all the more fun to root for.
