Who were we trying to kid, with Mario and Michael backing him, Marco was gonna be in Indycar until a career-ending injury or he turns 50 no matter what. He'll show a flash of brilliance every three years and an announcer will say something like "could this be the Marco Andretti we've been waiting for?" for another couple of decades.

Marco is pretty much what Danica would be if she stayed in Indycar

I really wonder how much different Marco would be if Hornish hadn't nicked him at the end of that 500. Like that really had to set a lovely tone for him moving forward.

Then isn’t that money better spent organizing (basically paying for placement) a group of young women into existing teams in existing junior formulae? Red Bull does it now. Mercedes do it. Plenty of other groups do it. You can brand all of the drivers and their cars in the same way, see how well those drivers compare against their contemporaries, and get them much better visibility than they’ll get with this W Series.

The only upside is that maybe someone really talented DOES come out of the race series, and then it stops being "powder puff." Kinda like what happened when women's MMA was a 3-minute-per-round sideshow, until enough fighters and spectators complained. Now women's MMA is contested under the exact same rules as men.

Surprised it took that long for one of his dumb posts to catch scrutiny. He's been a noted racist piece of poo poo for while but he didn't step that far until now.

They have a points paying race in Melbourne with the f1, fox would probably pay to televise the indy race in australia and a bit of that would filter down. This is ignoring the "not great" spot supercars finds itself in with Nissan bailing and the remaining being companies that have bailed on their domestic construction calling card.

Road America ‘85 was Jacques Villenueve’s only win. Good race. I think Moreno could have won it though which would have been something.

Hopefully the Indy aero window is a bit more open than last year. I hear they're working on some rear wing wickers and possibly some more allowed angle to help, and hopefully the weather will cooperate and not be balls loving roasting to contribute to the racing not being crap

They missed the mark on the speedway aero package combined with the incredibly hot weather made for a good, but not great race. At least we got a first time winner who made it memorable
