  • Definitely don’t understand the thinking on Herta’s strategy and disappointed in Rossi’s outcome. Looks like it’s Palau’s to lose. In a weird way it’s a confirmation of the decision to not award double points for the 500. While with the outcome as it really happened would narrow the gap between Palau & Newgarden, imagine if Palau had won the 500: it’d be over. The season is already too short. As it is, there’s still a chance it’s still in doubt going into the also-re-paved Laguna Seca.

    But Mid-Ohio next.



  • Every year there’s a smaller team that suddenly starts doing well, and it’s Foyt this year (and I’m 100% fine with that). What feels different about this is the narrative around it. Usually there are a lot of glittering generalities about the ‘team pulling together’ and ‘everyone working hard, both of which are true (but makes one ask ‘then what were you doing before?’).

    The story for Foyt seems to be they started spending money two years ago targeting this year. And they’re pretty open about it. That feels different. I’m hopeful.
