I get mental health care from the medical equivalent of Skillcraft.


I want to know what the thought process was to put Johnson, a 7 time champ on a mostly oval series, in road and street courses only.

Also, whoever designed this course is either a loving genius or an idiot.

I want to die after watching him eat hard boiled eggs 13 times in a race broadcast.

Edit: At least he's out of the race now.

So they’re going to have to abandon the race right? It’s gonna be too dark to continue pretty soon and it’s not like they can make up the rest later.

Honestly I think the big winner here was Nissan. They have their name all over the stadium, but somehow managed to not be a part of that train wreck of a race.

Got to admit that I'm looking forward to 2022. Perhaps that's just the masochist in me coming out.

Himself. Although from what I understand he didn't expect it to be this tough.


Perhaps it will shut up the "Indycar drivers are all road racing ride buyer hack frauds that would be eaten alive by any competent NASCAR driver" crew but I'm not holding my breath.

The Chevrolet cars seem to have had power delivery issues since at least 2017 and also historically have got really crappy fuel economy.
