njsykora posted:You pick 4 drivers for each race with a $100 salary cap. Driver value is I think determined by championship position and recent form. Then you score the same points for each driver's finishing position that they earn in the championship. And Indy you get to pick 10 drivers with a $500 cap. There's also a average speed predictor for every race that acts as a tiebreaker. There'll presumably be signup links posted here when the new fantasy season starts but it all runs from the Indycar website. Knowing nothing about Indycar last year I finished 3rd with a policy of always picking Josef Newgarden and Max Chilton. You can either go with one really good, two midpack, one backmarker or Two top tier, two backmarkers on your strategy play. Or four midpack drivers, I guess. WindyMan posted:Oreovicz is gone from ESPN just as the season is getting underway and the series becomes an even lower priority for them. Not that Oreo or ESPN was ever a primary or top source for Indy news, but even so that's a pretty sizable loss of exposure for Indycar. I've always found fascinating that, despite getting out of racing completely, ABC/ESPN still found value in and a want to broadcast the Indy 500. Don't get me wrong, I love Indy, I'm just surprised they're willing to put money out for it given the tire fire ESPN is now and wonder if they'll re-up somehow. Allen Bestwick's dream was to call the Indy 500 and he's probably going to get about two more times to do it.  The thing I hate about NBC's IndyCar coverage is it's a revolving door of personalities. Leigh Diffey, Brian Till, Rick Allen, Kevin Lee all do PBP, with PT, Townsend Bell, Steve Matchett, David Hobbs doing color. It seems to have gotten better, but there's no identity with the broadcast team. Maybe they can poach AB somehow and dangle hockey games in front of him unless he's got a contract like Bob Varsha's which has essentially made him invisible in racing. WindyMan posted:Just consider how long they kept Marty Reid in the booth for ABC broadcasts after he demonstrated himself to be less than competent at the job. At this rate, that kind of dedication to excellence in broadcasting isn't that far down the road in other ESPN productions. Marty was the second biggest Danica cheerleader in racing behind Todd Harris (another "excellent" hire), and it seemed ESPN and IndyCar didn't mind that.

Jerry Punch is among the ESPN cuts made today. e- No word on if it's immediate or after the IndyCar season is over, but Doc himself confirmed it and thanked ESPN in a Tweet. If it's immediate, you'd have DeBruhl and Beekhuis on pit road for the 500 unless they bring somebody else in to do it. Not enough.

Allen Bestwick was also released by ESPN. His last assignment for ESPN will be Detroit: https://twitter.com/AllenBestwick/status/858126592576454656 Does this pretty much seal up that IndyCar/ESPN/the 500's time together are coming to an end?

wicka posted:I think Varsha pretty much decided to retire. Didn't he have some sort of awful contract with FOX which left him with nothing really to call after F1 moved to NBCSN, but limited ability to go pinch hit on other networks' broadcasts? I remember he did one IndyCar race at Pocono in 2014 and wasn't able to do Barrett-Jackson when that moved to Velocity.

I wanted a Glorious Sato-San pole. How did four Penske cars wind up midpack in qualifying? I would've thought at least one of Helio/Newgarden/SiPag/JPM would've been fast enough to get into the fast 9 as well. e- https://twitter.com/TonyKanaan/status/866688808770830337 CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 17:19 on May 22, 2017 |

On that note, I looked to see who was going to butcher the song this year and was surprised to find it's Jim Corneilson, who's the Anthem singer for the Chicago Blackhawks and will hopefully do the song justice.

TK winning would've been the perfect finish to this...well...whatever this was tonight. An excellent race which went full stupid after the big wreck, then became an excellent race again and had a lovely finish which was probably for the best given a GWC would've been equal parts exciting and terrifying?

Great race with a finish ruined by tremendous pit strategy on the part of the 12 team. Rossi/Newgarden/TK/Dixie would've been a hell of a race for the win. IndyCar needs more ovals.

harperdc posted:TK is in a similar position to Helio, if - IF - Chip hasn't offered him an IndyCar seat but has a sports car seat open and available. Now Chip doesn't have quite as much history as Penske, and TK doesn't have as much history with Chip as Helio and the Captain, but...chasing another year or two, max, versus transitioning to sports cars and guaranteeing the next 5-10 years of your career? Define "history", because Chip beating the piss out of the DP field for a few years in Rolex/IMSA with Scott Pruett and a revolving door of co-drivers was pretty noteworthy.

His (Rossi's) resume is one turn and a straightaway more impressive than JR Hildebrand. e- Eh, comparing the two, that's a bit harsh of a comparison but still, he seems to be somebody who's riding on potential more than anything.
