Marco Andretti got an SRX win on Saturday. And Paul Tracy got pretty upset over getting wrecked when he tried to block the inside lane a couple times.

Tracy got pissy with Hailie Deegan after the race in the SRX trailer too. It’s in her vlog from the SRX race this week. He comes off as a huge baby and everyone else had her back.

The next to last paragraph sounds like Harvey is keeping autonation sponsorship, so that seems like a move to Andretti, not RLL. Especially since Rahal owns quite a number of dealerships — would they accept a sponsor that competes with themselves?

Arrow McLaren SP is hiring an IT Admin. It’s a drat shame that there’s no way they could/would pay me enough, plus the extensive travel is a non-starter now that I have 3 kids. From reading the listing, it sounds like McLaren proper has fully taken over their IT infrastructure.

If you think Indycar is gonna be chaos, SRO GT America is running their inaugural race, GT3, GT2, and GT4 multiclass, single driver 40 minute races, bronze drivers only.

They're putting dentists on this track for the first race of the series. :stare:

E:also I think the runs across the bridge could make for some decent passing opportunities, I hope at least. I love the elevation change, which I was not expecting.

that's very true. at least it appears Miller is well enough to do some writing again, Racer said his mailbag column is coming back soon. regardless of opinion on that at least it's a decent sign.

Wait so are these all racing together for overall, or is the GT2 racing against itself?

The GT2 will be racing itself. It'll be on track with everyone else, but in a race of 1 in class

Found this searching twitter. Looks like it. https://twitter.com/ExeBrett/status/1423887437156257792

Also dang there have been a lot of crashes in practice and quals today. That late set of crashes at the end of practice kinda bodes poorly for restarts tomorrow.

Feel like at front or way back is where you wanna be for lap 1. Everything in between is going to be a massacre. And barring multi-car pileup, all it takes is one car to completely block the track at so many places. Race going long for sure.

gt america race had a car fishtail and spin out into another car just from trying to brake during the bumpiness off the bridge and because it's gt america that lead to 2/3 of the race being under a safety car

small preview for tomorrow i guess!

they managed to restart the race and then the race leader accelerated too fast getting onto the bridge and spun into the wall

The Trans Am race was pretty interesting. There was a race-long 4 or 5 car train up front battling for the lead, but passing only happened with mistakes. Rafa Matos started 17th and got up to 2nd before some contact put him down the order again. Adam Andretti was leading before a belt snapped and KO'd him. A fair number of cars were spinning and binning, but only two or three cautions for them not being able to clear themselves out of the way. Lap traffic made things interesting for the leaders! A good race in the end.

Also, SST continues to kick major rear end!!!!!

To be fair GT America is all bronze drivers that are much more prone to those kind of mistakes. It looked like an optimistic half-hearted attempt at an overtake that are a bronze driver's signature finishing move.
