[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome indie car fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for a special addition
0:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Dave Chandley's Ann Michelle Garman's reaction to Indie Grompery today at IMS.
0:46
[SPEAKER_03]: And no Elijah Po today, he is in the middle of a move to Iowa.
0:50
[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to be a sports editor, poor guy, in Clinton, Iowa, and he was not able to join us today, but he will be here next week as we recap each day of practice and qualifying then.
1:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, the following week.
1:07
[SPEAKER_03]: fast Friday, the race, but interesting race today guys, a lot to talk about, let's start with Christian Lunar Guard Dave and your thoughts on his win, passing David Malukas late in the race.
1:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Hatta, first of all, happy Mother's Day to all Mother's out there, and that's a big day.
1:31
[SPEAKER_01]: for tomorrow.
1:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And Christian Union Guard deserved a win.
1:34
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew he was going to get one at some point in time, the way it played out.
1:40
[SPEAKER_01]: He just took advantage of everything, the way it played out.
1:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Maloka's had a great run, but I think Loon Guard had the better car.
1:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Loon Guard had a great day.
1:56
[SPEAKER_00]: The first practice, he wasn't that good.
1:58
[SPEAKER_00]: But the second practice is in qualifying.
2:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He was really good, and he had a good card all day today.
2:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I was glad to see him.
2:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I was glad to see him get the win.
2:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And for McLaren to get the win.
2:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was a really nice pass.
2:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He made late to get around Malukus and go on and get the victory.
2:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And they both were clean.
2:20
[SPEAKER_01]: They raised that clean.
2:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was very good on both part.
2:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it was.
2:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It was really good on both parts.
2:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you could tell that there was a lot of respect there.
2:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, good to have a Dane and victory lane again.
2:38
[SPEAKER_03]: My wife commented on that and she said, what is he Danish?
2:40
[SPEAKER_03]: And I said, yeah, first Dane and Indy car history.
2:44
[SPEAKER_03]: He in, uh, Rasmussen the first Dane's and Indy car history, believe it or not.
2:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Dave, another topic I wanted to touch with you, McLaren's first-windetedapolis since Johnny Rutherford in the 576 were you at that one?
3:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I was, yeah.
3:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And wow, that's hard to believe.
3:07
[SPEAKER_01]: That's 40 years ago.
3:10
[SPEAKER_03]: It's right.
3:11
[SPEAKER_03]: You love that day, you didn't think that was gonna happen, did you?
3:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man, no way.
3:15
[SPEAKER_03]: 50 days, by the way.
3:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, yeah, David 50 years ago my bad my bad 50 years get you right you're right my bad for math there No, it's not that we just don't want to admit we're getting older Well, that's true good point Produced as he was six months old the last time a Claire and a one or race at Indianapolis I wasn't I wasn't a teenager yet, but I was close
3:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm not going to give away my age.
3:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
3:52
[SPEAKER_03]: The other thing I don't worry.
3:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I think in this one is Alex Blow finished fifth.
3:58
[SPEAKER_03]: It was controversial that he finished fifth.
4:01
[SPEAKER_03]: We were texting about it a lot when it happened.
4:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Indy card tried to avoid having him shuffle back to 19th place.
4:09
[SPEAKER_03]: They tried to wait for a yellow flag with debris on the course.
4:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Till everybody pitted, including Alex Polobe and the now Alexander Rossi got a different plan in mind and decided he wasn't going to listen to Indy Carr got out of a stalled car.
4:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, cars were racing around him and saying, uh, it wasn't quite that dramatic.
4:31
[SPEAKER_03]: They did have a yellow around him, but they still had racing going while he was stalled on the course, which is very unusual.
4:38
[SPEAKER_03]: So a bit controversial.
4:40
[SPEAKER_03]: It did make for a really good race in the end though, Dave.
4:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It sure did, it changed everything.
4:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, my thoughts on this, I think Indicar and Baris themselves, in my opinion.
4:56
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, there was debris on the track and that was debris that was noteworthy because it was in the path of the cars.
5:06
[SPEAKER_01]: If they had thrown the caution right away, none of the aftermath I don't think would have happened.
5:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, then when, uh, Rossi stalled, and you had a local yellow on the main straightaway, that does not make one bit of sense to me.
5:24
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where everybody's going, a hundred and seventy miles per hour.
5:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's sitting there in the car.
5:32
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not safe.
5:36
[SPEAKER_01]: and any car preaches safety and today my opinion they dropped the ball totally and there should be some accountability to that.
5:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Some people, I'm sure, I'm sure Ganesi's gonna speak up because it probably or possibly cost him the race.
5:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And he can pull all the way to the back because he wasn't one of the two that pitted.
6:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I just thought it was, it was a horrible look.
6:06
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a really bad look.
6:08
[SPEAKER_03]: To be fair, Michelle, they were trying to make things fair.
6:11
[SPEAKER_03]: They were trying to wait until everybody could pit.
6:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Kind of understandable.
6:17
[SPEAKER_03]: But there are times you just can't do that.
6:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, no, and I mean, everybody didn't have to put it.
6:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It was early enough in the race thing, it might have changed strategy.
6:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They made a mistake.
6:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not throwing a caution on that piece of debris.
6:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And then according to the broadcast, they're ended up being a second piece of debris.
6:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But they finally got off the track, but that one in terms it was still in a pathway.
6:40
[SPEAKER_00]: You couldn't go too lanes there to make a pass in that turn.
6:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Rossi, I mean, the Fox crew chastised Indie car, I thought it was terrible.
6:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And part of the reason Pauli and Kirkwood got caught is they were in front.
6:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Their teams weren't sure if it was green yelled.
6:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So they even pitted like.
6:58
[SPEAKER_00]: They came into the pits late.
7:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Most everybody else, some of them had already started into the pits when that happened.
7:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And just, I thought it was, I thought Indie Car had a very, I think they had a very bad day.
7:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they looked good today.
7:20
[SPEAKER_01]: No, and when are we still?
7:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Why are we starting to wait?
7:26
[SPEAKER_01]: to let everybody pit before we throw a caution that should have been for own, because the leaders haven't pitted, come on.
7:33
[SPEAKER_01]: That sounds like, my thought was, this sounds like NASCAR.
7:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, no NASCAR didn't do it.
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Dave NASCAR, their drivers get caught in pit lane.
7:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And they have things that happened to them.
7:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I was upset because,
7:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Malukus was the only pensky driver having a good day in the top 10 and then all the sudden he's leading the race and new garden has made it moved his way up into the top 10 after all of that cycle.
8:02
[SPEAKER_00]: There I don't think that's a good lucky.
8:04
[SPEAKER_00]: There when that happens at a speedway, the Roger Pinsky owns.
8:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not having the best season as far as the second year in a row.
8:14
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... it's just a bad luck all the way around it is and uh... uh... i i digress here a second but Heather was up there yesterday and today and she got penski's autograph yesterday and she today she got her picture taken with Scott Dixon so uh... i think wow yes sir it was a big day for Heather so well let me see if that's Dave while we're talking about her
8:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Starting next week, we're gonna be having practice recaps every night.
8:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Some days, we'll be able to get multiple people, some days, it'll just be me in Elijah.
8:51
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll have Dave, we'll have Michelle, and hopefully we'll have Heather as well.
8:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Just wanna remind everybody to please join us.
8:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Another big story before we go to the results Dave, I thought was Ray Hall Letterman, and they are just really good at this track.
9:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, heads off to, to Graham Ray Hall.
9:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I, I also, and I think I texted you at the time, uh, I also thought, why did he not get penalized for one blocky through?
9:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Who?
9:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Who?
9:25
[SPEAKER_01]: What have I just done?
9:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen it.
9:27
[SPEAKER_01]: It was clearly blocking.
9:30
[SPEAKER_01]: And no penalty.
9:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm glad I'm glad he finished third.
9:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I like him, but that was a block.
9:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, well, I said it didn't get called.
9:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So, well, there was other, you could almost go down.
9:46
[SPEAKER_01]: There were guys in the front that went to the back, went from back to front.
9:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it was back and forth.
9:55
[SPEAKER_01]: There was, they were all trying to strategize, but in the end, there wasn't really much strategy because they all had to do same number of stops.
10:11
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... which i can think they expected but and the first the the uh... opening lap wreck come on feelings that i know he apologize for and he he took a accountability for it well it wasn't later that he got penalized for
10:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't think that one was as much as fault the first one was, but I don't think that second one then he got, I don't think that second one was the third one.
10:43
[SPEAKER_03]: He got penalized for running into I believe it was Rasmussen early in the race and I texted it, did Felix Rosenquestro up to the race drunk this morning because of it.
10:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I saw that text.
10:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was an instance where he came close because there wasn't
10:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
11:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
11:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
11:01
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you get from people.
11:02
[SPEAKER_03]: It was insane.
11:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel for Potto because he had a bad day Thursday, a great day yesterday.
11:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Looks like maybe he's getting it together and he has no chance just taken out early and to the back of the back.
11:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And then their strategy from that point on was basically miserable.
11:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're right on that David, I'll tell you what, though, to be fair, Lungard had the best McLaren car, even I think through the practice just through the qualifying.
11:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, well, we'll never know.
11:44
[SPEAKER_00]: But Patto did look like he was finally on getting back to challenging and
11:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Paddo was the one on the front row.
11:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Felix Rosen was just decided to drive into him.
11:55
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't think we'll ever know who had done it or not.
11:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Very guard not.
12:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
12:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think I just think lung guard had, I just think lung guard had a, had a very good race car this week.
12:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with that.
12:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say there were two fast, three fast cars.
12:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll even throw Kirkwood in there.
12:20
[SPEAKER_01]: and dready dropping the ball almost literally in the pits you just scratch your head and say you've got to be kidding me.
12:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And his race was over at that point.
12:30
[SPEAKER_01]: All he was was follow the leader after that.
12:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he had a good car.
12:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, uh, obviously,
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought box broadcast for the first time this year.
12:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't really happy with them early.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: First, they get the layout for a United Football League game.
12:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't want handful people care about the United Football League.
12:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
12:57
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just ridiculous.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about Indicar at a race at the most fang Indicar track, I am S. And then second, they do, they have that red.
13:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they go to David Letterman.
13:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And he wasn't really had known.
13:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was a terrible interview.
13:19
[SPEAKER_03]: He wasn't prepared for it.
13:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Letterman was just that he went over there to see the replay.
13:23
[SPEAKER_03]: He went over the mother.
13:24
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't find that one.
13:26
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't prepared for it.
13:28
[SPEAKER_00]: The guy didn't really.
13:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was like he wanted just to talk to David Letterman.
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's wrong.
13:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the people that threw that the producer of the, of the production, he blew that.
13:42
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not the time to do that interview.
13:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You should be trying to get to guys like, hence cliff and those guys should, and get there, try to figure out exactly what happened in that crash.
13:52
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just poor timing, but as the race went on, the team did, I mean, actually three guys, hence cliff and, oh, who's the other end?
14:02
[SPEAKER_00]: They're pretty good, so, and they don't want to call out, that's part of it.
14:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Countin' Bell and Wheelbuckston, but I, uh, I, uh, Hanceses tremendous.
14:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I just think it's good.
14:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to say this about the Fox broadcast.
14:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I just want to put things in perspective.
14:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Sam Posey, uh, Scott Goodyear, Todd Harris, so bad for so many years, just awful.
14:29
[SPEAKER_03]: And these two guys are so engaging and so much fun to listen to for an
14:36
[SPEAKER_03]: They are so good at this.
14:38
[SPEAKER_03]: I will bucks then I can take them or leave them.
14:40
[SPEAKER_03]: But I agree.
14:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Hensk Cliff and Townsend Bell are so good.
14:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I like them so much.
14:48
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I thought they should have stayed.
14:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Let those guys kind of gone back and let them talk about and replay that.
14:55
[SPEAKER_00]: with the accident and everything.
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I just thought it was poor timing to throw in that interview with Letterman at the time because he could not, he could not provide anything.
15:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And when the guy knew that when he said that, he should have said, okay, you know, we're going to go back and maybe we can catch up with you again later in the race, David.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
15:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
15:17
[SPEAKER_03]: We always wanted to hear from David Letterman, but that was really poorly done.
15:22
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
15:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, thank you.
15:24
[SPEAKER_03]: The results from the 2026 Grand Prix of Indianapolis, guys feel free to interrupt me any time if you have anything to say, of course, Christian Loonggaard's second career win as last win came in 2003.
15:35
[SPEAKER_03]: And Toronto is first win for McLaren.
15:41
[SPEAKER_03]: And as I said, McLaren's first win at Indianapolis in 1976, second place, David Malupus of Team Pinsky is best result with this new team.
15:52
[SPEAKER_01]: He did everything he could do.
15:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he just drove the wheels off the car.
15:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he did really, I'm impressed.
16:00
[SPEAKER_01]: He probably had truthfully a fourth or fifth place car in finnish second.
16:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he had at least the top, five, eight car.
16:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And he did do a nice job of getting out there and staying in almost winning.
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Long car was just a little bit better.
16:19
[SPEAKER_00]: His car was just a little bit better.
16:22
[SPEAKER_03]: And Felix Rosenquist is throwing a giant block for him really helped as well.
16:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
16:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Graham Ray Hall as I mentioned, finished in third his best result of the year.
16:33
[SPEAKER_03]: He is really good on this track.
16:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Joseph New Garden about the quietest fourth place finished.
16:38
[SPEAKER_03]: You can imagine.
16:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Isn't that the truth?
16:41
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, totally unnoticed and yeah, great.
16:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Good for him.
16:46
[SPEAKER_01]: That's off to him.
16:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I heard Joseph New Garden come from.
16:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
16:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And I will say this.
16:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He did a great job of taking advantage of a great opportunity with when the caution with Ross, you know, that came out, got track position.
17:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he was able to keep it because I think he had a an above average car, but I don't think he had a contending car.
17:19
[SPEAKER_03]: had won this race two years in a row, probably had the best car of the day and kind of had it taken from him, but I'm not gonna feel too bad for Alex's blow.
17:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the thing about flow today.
17:33
[SPEAKER_00]: We all talk about how goodness crew is, and they are really good, but I thought today we got to see really how good, how good he is of a driver.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: to make up that ground.
17:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a great car to avoid that accident.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He lost more percentage too, but he went way wide into the grass to make sure he didn't get caught up, because stay on the track with, you know, and finish the race, and then he drove hard and to make it all the way back up to fifth, he's just a tremendous driver.
18:01
[SPEAKER_01]: He's tall enough.
18:02
[SPEAKER_01]: No question.
18:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with you.
18:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Most people would have been where he went back to the back and then went back to the back again to avoid that,
18:11
[SPEAKER_01]: the debris in the crash, but he just drove and that's off to him.
18:16
[SPEAKER_01]: He is just that good.
18:17
[SPEAKER_01]: He, uh, I was really impressed today with Alex Polo.
18:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Speaking of going to the back, Scott Dixon just finds his way from the back to the front like no one in the history of the sport.
18:30
[SPEAKER_03]: It's unbelievable.
18:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how he does it, I really don't know how he does it, but with 15 laughs to go, you look and he's in the top 10 or top 6 and he was in that first lap mess and went to the back and they found a way.
18:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They found a way to get him up the 6.
18:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Potto was going backwards at the end of the race and he was in the same, they started right next to each other, lap 5 or 6.
19:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate it because he got in that first lap crash because I think he had one of his better qualifying things all year there.
19:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We know he's historically good at any because of that crash.
19:13
[SPEAKER_00]: They had to do a little bit of work on his car.
19:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They did a great job of getting them back up there and just small work.
19:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think it took away.
19:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a guy.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't really know how good his car would have been.
19:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree with that, correct?
19:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Then Louis Foster 7th, Dennis Howger from 23rd to 8th.
19:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Taking advantage of every opportunity.
19:41
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, Louis Foster, good for Ham, Dennis Howger.
19:44
[SPEAKER_01]: The kid's a racer.
19:46
[SPEAKER_01]: He is getting better every time he gets in a car.
19:48
[SPEAKER_01]: He does not do anything.
19:51
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't get nittybody's way.
19:53
[SPEAKER_01]: He takes advantages of chances when he does have them.
19:56
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just a very, I'm impressed.
19:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And he is very good racer.
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He is, and I was going to say hats off to both foster and hogger to, I feel sorry for foster, because he was another one.
20:09
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a really great car.
20:13
[SPEAKER_00]: this week and he got he was who knows in that unfortunate circumstance with that pit and so I hate that for him because even until that last pit he was making he had good sprees and good lap times on the track.
20:29
[SPEAKER_00]: It was unfortunate but did make the race more exciting.
20:34
[SPEAKER_03]: and Lily Foster made two Ray Hall Letterman in the top seven and we'll get to the other guy here in a minute.
20:45
[SPEAKER_03]: ninth place Kyle Kirkwood, one bad pit stop, one bad tire,
20:57
[SPEAKER_01]: for his crew to be messing up like that.
21:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I feel for him.
21:01
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a good racer.
21:02
[SPEAKER_01]: He's there at the front all the time.
21:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And what happened to him there was just,
21:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Jim, and he Christmas, you just scratch your head and say, come on, guys, this is a big part of the race and you cost that guy probably six spots on the on the grid, six or seven.
21:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And exactly, you know what, he's another driver that gets kudos today for showcasing his ability behind the wheel because he also avoided that same
21:33
[SPEAKER_00]: crashed that Polo did.
21:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Polo was a little ahead of him.
21:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So he had to go wide, but I thought Kirkward had great reflexes and avoided damage in that accident.
21:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So good driving by him today as well, his pit crew let him down.
21:50
[SPEAKER_03]: No one's Eagle 10th probably not going to save his job.
21:55
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's hats off to Nolan's Eagle.
21:58
[SPEAKER_01]: for he's getting in a top 10.
22:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
22:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
22:02
[SPEAKER_01]: No matter how he did it, he did it.
22:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Good for him.
22:06
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not.
22:07
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's Dave.
22:08
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just not good enough for that team.
22:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to agree, but he'll be there with the rest of the year.
22:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to get fired midseason.
22:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably not.
22:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Marcus Erickson finished 11th a good day for him.
22:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Best day of the year.
22:24
[SPEAKER_03]: I think for him,
22:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I can ask he's seen as too good for a guy to not be in the top 10 ever.
22:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Interesting day for Willpower in 13th started last horrible qualifying attempt and they had a strategy and it worked really well and almost worked really really well.
22:50
[SPEAKER_01]: He he was yeah until he came out of the pits he was on pace to have probably at top five
22:58
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he just, I don't know, brain farted.
23:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I, he just cracked your head and say, I don't know, I don't know.
23:07
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't know, you have to go that direction.
23:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I, he just, I'd like to be, it would be a good interview and say, what would you think of it?
23:16
[SPEAKER_01]: What would you think of there?
23:18
[SPEAKER_01]: But, ah, woo.
23:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it seems to good for him to be doing things like that to them.
23:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's let's go back on that.
23:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree with that 100% that that's a great Centino for UG 14th, arenas VK 15 Scott McLaughlin 16th bad day for him from the Scotty matches.
23:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, Holy can he is saw.
23:47
[SPEAKER_01]: He is struggling for the year and
23:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, maybe you can turn it around because we're going to talk to you here in a few minutes and that's a place he can turn it around.
23:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah, yeah, he's distruggled.
24:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, let's be honest guys, Pinsky is really still struggling.
24:09
[SPEAKER_03]: They have not found their way back since last year at the 500.
24:12
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
24:15
[SPEAKER_01]: and you wonder how much of that is attributed to everything that happened at the five hundred all the firings and have they just not put put it back together.
24:25
[SPEAKER_01]: You just scratch your head and say, wow, they could think should have the best people over on that box that take that's in racing.
24:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And they just they just haven't put it together.
24:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, may come in up.
24:40
[SPEAKER_03]: It's definitely a chance to turn things around.
24:44
[SPEAKER_03]: He was one spot ahead of Stingray Rob who, who, man, that accident he caused was not good.
24:51
[SPEAKER_03]: 18th place, Patta, award, bad day.
24:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Really bad day.
24:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think part of it.
24:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the question is, was he his car that bad or was there strategy that bad because he was on, he drove the last 40 laps in fuel saver mode.
25:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And the question would be, why?
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: But why?
25:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause just going to get topped off and go race.
25:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause Ollie was doing, if you're gonna go fuel saver and you're gonna finish 18th, why'd you do it in the first place?
25:28
[SPEAKER_01]: You should go race.
25:29
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
25:32
[SPEAKER_00]: A back team has just not found a chemistry or gotten the right recipe or concoction yet and they've struggled so much, whether it's a pit stop or bad luck on the track.
25:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel warm because Paddo is a good driver.
25:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, he's driving the driver who challenged below for the championship this year and it's not going to happen.
25:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, there's a lot of season left.
26:01
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think despite finishing 19, the really good weekend for him.
26:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with that.
26:09
[SPEAKER_01]: He was up towards the front racing and doing a great job.
26:13
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
26:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And then 20th place, guys.
26:16
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the one I've been wanting to talk about.
26:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Mixed shoe mackerel.
26:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Woo, it could not be a worst start for him.
26:23
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a blunder.
26:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause he had a chance to finish 11th,
26:31
[SPEAKER_01]: He just put it for Ruchy and that was just like all.
26:37
[SPEAKER_01]: You had things, about the time you think things are picking up and you're doing things good and then you make a mistake like that.
26:45
[SPEAKER_01]: That was just a big one.
26:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know what I hate about that.
26:49
[SPEAKER_00]: David, because we talked about this earlier, I thought that Schumacher was doing a lot of driving not to make a mistake.
26:57
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, early in try to learn and get experience.
26:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought today, he was probably the most aggressive he's been in a race, you know, making passes and challenging.
27:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, yes, run into the only thing I hate about it is for all the access to Peru.
27:12
[SPEAKER_00]: She's causing the past life out.
27:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's going to get penalized, but I hate it.
27:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Because how many times did Peru, she wreck somebody last year?
27:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
27:49
[SPEAKER_03]: 21st is Roman Grojan, what a prick.
27:52
[SPEAKER_03]: 22nd place Marcus Ericsson, 23rd Felix Rosenquist, 24th Christian Rasbyson, 25th Alexander Rossi, bad luck for him.
28:04
[SPEAKER_03]: ECR just a horrible day, horrible.
28:08
[SPEAKER_03]: But they're gonna have a good next couple weeks, I think.
28:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, gross gene may be a, maybe not a,
28:19
[SPEAKER_00]: However, he did until whatever damage he sustained or whatever their he was one.
28:25
[SPEAKER_00]: He also surprisingly, he had a really good cart early and in qualifying.
28:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, Michelle, he's a talented prick.
28:33
[SPEAKER_03]: He won.
28:36
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no doubt about that.
28:40
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just French.
28:42
[SPEAKER_03]: He can't help it.
28:43
[SPEAKER_01]: That's yeah.
28:44
[SPEAKER_01]: That's okay.
28:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd explain to you.
28:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll go ahead and offend an entire nation.
28:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.
28:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
28:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
28:51
[SPEAKER_01]: You've just ticked off an entire nation and most of Canada, I do.
28:55
[SPEAKER_03]: No, what are they going to do when I fight back?
28:57
[SPEAKER_03]: They'll just surrender anyways.
29:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
29:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
29:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Good.
29:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's bad.
29:04
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, guys.
29:06
[SPEAKER_03]: That raises fantastic.
29:08
[SPEAKER_03]: But now we're all turning our tension to what really matters.
29:12
[SPEAKER_01]: It all starts now.
29:16
[SPEAKER_01]: anything for these next two weeks to get to get to win.
29:23
[SPEAKER_01]: They do anything.
29:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And some teams will rise up.
29:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Some teams will not, but the cream will come to the top.
29:41
[SPEAKER_01]: He wants so bad.
29:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You see, are we'll be back?
29:45
[SPEAKER_01]: This is their track when they're headed the other direction not going backwards, but hey Dave, don't forget.
29:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, 100 daily.
29:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and what is great?
29:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
29:59
[SPEAKER_01]: All these guys come in for one race of the year.
30:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at the number of guys that do that and they're all great racers.
30:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, L.O.
30:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Ryan Hunter Ray, uh, Connor, uh, Tacoma, uh, love Tacoma.
30:19
[SPEAKER_01]: It is great.
30:20
[SPEAKER_01]: It is great.
30:21
[SPEAKER_01]: It is the greatest spectacle in racing for a reason.
30:27
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's our favorite event of the year.
30:32
[SPEAKER_00]: The month of May is just, it is special in the state of Indiana with the 500.
30:37
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just an added excitement and air and I really believe speedway, the west side of Indy, they love hearing the roar of those or race cars through practice and qualification and then on race day.
31:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, our schedule this week is pretty much if there's action on the track.
31:04
[SPEAKER_03]: We will have a reaction hopefully every day as it's own Indie car report.
31:09
[SPEAKER_03]: But if not on the 10 minute daily report, we'll have a recap every single day.
31:15
[SPEAKER_03]: There's there are cars on the track.
31:18
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll also have a race preview and a race reaction and give the Indie 500 the recognition and attention that it deserves.
31:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Please join us.
31:53
[SPEAKER_03]: The central Indian sports report is a product of ITG media.
