"Moves himself into the top five. What a great pass by Alexander Rossi. I was thinking Joseph New Garden on those Reds. The top four of blacks. Rossi, also of blacks and Joseph, New Garden, unable to take advantage, So move Alexander Rossing that fifth position back up front. Graham Ray Hall, your leader. As the exits turn Number seven. He has a four colleagues advantage over at Joe's Jack Harvey in third. So check The pace of Graham Ray Hall as we talked about a little bit more ginger on fuel, perhaps, but he has Jones behind him. And then it's Jack. Harvey. They are really spaced out right now. Let's call it three car links between each of them in the fourth place. Runner is Alex. Polo is everybody works their way cleanly. Now through turn number 10. Maybe what you think about that Move by Alexander Rossi. Yeah, Great. Great past. We've seen that earlier in the Indy lights raised by Kirkwood, where two drivers that kind of tangled up down there and turn one or 25 position. The third one just passing them. Both did a great job on that a little bit of a brave move, but he made it work didn't touch anything. Anybody leaders are exiting tournament three. Yeah, Everything's starting to settle down as Graham Rail has about four car length advantage over edge. Does Harvey's there and then it's Alex below. In that fourth position. Rossi fifth that it's Joseph. New Garden. Six Got. Dixon is seventh and a couple of Carl Expect to Takuma Sato. But grab rail guys thus far. Good. Restart. Good second lap as we went back to Green battle might be for second, though, Jake worry as Jack hardly started to pressure at Jones. Jack Harvey, looking in on edge, Jones call it to Carly. We keep an eye on that. Scott McLaughlin also Made a Rossi type move on that last lap coming into turn number one that got him past Potter award Significant from a point standpoint, that puts McLaughlin into the 13th position. Speaking of award more on him for Brian Marine Yeah, Jake. Just before he got passed by Scott McLaughlin. He came over the radio and said, We need power. Then McLaughlin pulled up alongside and past him and he said, What's going on? It seems that we're checking on it, but possibly something amiss with the power delivery for the five car, Michael. Here comes Alexander.

"J. C W. Johnson City, Tennessee, W M. R. E in Charleston, West Virginia and W I am A in Lima, Ohio. Davey Hamilton. Feels like this caution could have timed out perfectly for some not so good for others. Let's talk a little bit about the strategy. First of all, How do you think this affects our new race leader Graham Ray Hall? Well, I think may her grandma. Unfortunately, we'll just have to wait and see. Now he needed about six laps of fuel to get to the end of this race. If this caution goes six laps and may benefit him, it just depends on how long this yellow is going to be. Who I think it definitely advantage is the guys we talked about that went off course. The first lap Pelo Dixon Rossi Rosenquist because they were barely going to make it on feel barely with this yellow and helps them they'll just stay on their strategy. They already made their first pit stop under yellow. They just stick with what they're doing. It may advantage those as well. So because when we see that the ones that came in which was award dating power for those that fit again, they cannot make it to the end anyway, so they're going to have to put again. So what you're saying is those guys that thought they were being slick jumping on pit lane right before the caution, they still got to pitch again. And now they've lost all track position to Dixon. And that's right. They lost track position. You remember work still in 12. A lot of things can happen up in front of him. But I really think that with him having to make one more stop and majority of the drivers in front of them, including Ray Hawk and possibly with this yellow, like I said, it needs to be a long yellow grams, praying for a long yellow. I don't know that it will be because it's just too offs. But the longer the better for Graham, but the ones that may take advantage of Pelo for sure. Dixon for sure. Rossi Rosenquist heard of those drivers. They should just be able to stay on their normal strategy. Be okay for more on the strategy involving our race leader Graham Ray Hall. Let's go back to Pit Lane and Ryan Marine The radio channel. To this point, guys indicates that they do think this fits into their strategy. All right. They are having Graham save some fuel here Under this yellow. There's still crunching some numbers to make sure that they feel like this shook out the way that they initially thought, but If that is indeed the case, they are quite confident that this did fall into their hands. They asked Graham just a moment ago. How is the tire deg been, he said. It's been good, just a little bit of a problem with a slight bit of wear on the left front win on Reds. That's what they will keep an eye on. But all in all everyone quite calm and optimistic here in the hotel camp for Graham, Ray Hall, David how about the day for Joseph New Garden pitted four laps after Ray Hall, but still five laps prior to guys like below, and Dixon he finds Himself in fifth has Tim cigarette. Have they kind of worked a little magic here to get him up into the top five? Yeah, You know, I don't know if it's magic her luck because drivers being sent to the back and new garden was already back there. They made that initial pit stop early on to this race under yellow Elect 10. I think it was nine or 10. Then go back grain to like 11 or 12. So it right now, as I said, when I was going if it's state grain, and oh, man, this this is going to fall into all those drivers hands with blow leading that pack. I figured that he had a really good opportunity think he still does? But don't forget Jack Harvey is in front of polo. He pitted on lap 40. He's with this yellow. It may give him enough fuel to make it to the end with that one more stop as well. Yeah, your leader's They kind of cycle out based on how they pitted Graham Ray Hall pitted on lap 35 at Jones was able to go to lapse longer on 37 Harvey. With three laps longer until lap 40. And then you've got that group that is only alternate strategy. Starting with Alex below. Who is your points Leader as they run right now. Three markers over Pato Awards 16 over New Garden 38 over Dixon and 71 over Marcus Ericsson. Your top five here in the Grand Prix of Portland Grammar Hall, Ed Jones, Jack Harvey, Alex Below and Joseph New Garden as we work the second full course caution. We've had six different leaders today. Seven lead changes as we have also reached The halfway point of this event. 55 laps in 55 laps to go running at six. Joseph New York City's got Nixon New Garden runs in the fifth. Alexander Rossi is seventh. Masada was eight. Felix Rosenquist is nine. Colton Heard of is 10th some of the lap leaders today Pato award has led 28 laps. Grammar hall 18 laps on the day, Jack Harvey and Scott Dixon of both lead three laps at Jones with two biggest movers from their initial starting position. How about Takuma Sato? He is Plus 18 on the day from the back of the pack up to the eighth spot. Jack Harvey has had a nice day. He is plus 17. And then as we mentioned Joseph New Garden started 18th today, but he has found his way to the top five. He is plus 13 and fastest lap of the race so far has been turned. By Rina Speak a at a minute flat. The lights are off of the pace car. It was relatively quick cleanup Davey Hamilton, So it's just going to be fascinating to see the good news program Ray Hall We saw he could go long during that first stint. But ultimately you're saying the question is, Can he go long and make just one more stop? Or is it going to be tight to make two? He I think you'll really have to say fuel from now to end this race, but what better place to be in that safe fuel, But In the lead. Making the other other drivers try to catch you and passed. Everybody behind him has more fuel than if everybody, including second place as two more laps than him. Harvey and third place has five more laps than he does flow has four more so RAM could be in the driver's seat is all about feeling right now, they all have one more stop to make it to see if he could save a few on this yellow J Query Pace car is pulling away from.

"2nd 3rd 4th Place cars and I think part award started seven. He's leading this race. Ray Hall started. I think fifth maybe or something. He is in that second position, but the guys that all crashed big damage to grow John Willpower and Hinchcliffe. August. Smoking in there too hot. Amazingly enough. Usually you have an opening lap accident. The last place you want to be as mid pack. But it was the drivers at the front of the field who are going to take a hit as you mentioned because they missed the corner and then drivers at the back of the pack that got damaged race cars. It's amazing Pot Award. Grant Ray all really the only to cleanly make it through Turns one and two, and that's why they have jumped from seventh Starting position will work now your race leader Graham Ray, home started fifth now runs second. Felix Rosenquist is Third Scott Dixon runs fourth. Jones has jumped up from eighth to the fifth position, and then you've got our pole sitter Alex Below who runs in the sixth spot. Colton Herta is seventh. Alexander Rossi, who was on the front row. He all of a sudden finds himself in eighth. Marcus Ericsson is ninth and Sebastian Bourdais 10th. So David Basically, we threw everybody in the blender puree, and that's our lineup are are are official running order After three laps? Yeah, there's several cars Colton Herta. He cut the corner as well. Now I don't know the exact rule. He did go over the curbing, So I don't know if you go If you hit the curbing and you get you come out where you are, or if you have to go through that chicane. Colton did not go through that chicane, so I don't know if there's a penalty there or not. I think he's okay. But I'm not 100% sure watching Elio Castroneves car being taken off the race track by a record tough, tough weekend for him. Maybe so much speed from Elio. He was towards the top of the charts. Yesterday morning during practice but frustrating return to Portland for the fourth time Indy 500 champion Yes, sure is and like you said after such a good run yesterday. It's been 20 years since he's raced at this facility and be able to come out yesterday. After 20 year absence on this track and run as fast he found himself on top. The charge. A lot of fun ended up. I think the top three uh but they qualified. Just didn't hit it right. Just missed Mr points on the race track where he needed to be fast and qualified well and then, unfortunately out on the first lacquer today, So we just got word that any cars working on the official running order. Best of luck to them because of this messy start, and David, We also heard that the car is going to take no action and boy there was so much going on. Bably seems like a good call. How do you light light throwing penalties and drivers with his chaotic as that was? Yeah, you know. It seems like every year, it doesn't matter what series by the way that race here, turn one's always an issue on the first lap, so you know we sometimes we had an issue with turn one and middle. I'll short straightaway getting into Turn one, so they made the start line on the back straightaway going into a little bit of a different corner, where they spread out a little bit more. Not so sure would be a good idea that maybe start these guys on the back straightaway to where that maybe get strung out before they all pile up down into turn one so working lap number five under caution. With the opening lap accident that has taken Roman grow. Sean Elliott, Castro Neves and James Hinchcliffe unofficially out of the race. Castro Neves is he's being scored right now. 26, Grosjean and Hinchcliffe. Have already fallen four laps down, and it's Ryan Marine and Alex Wolff touched off the damage on those cars. Pretty significant right now. Those are the three drivers that have looked to have gotten the worst of this opening lap accident. It is part of award Grant Ray Hall, Felix Rosenquist, Scott Dixon and Jones. Your top five Alex Blow runs in sixth. Colton Herta seventh. Alexander Rossi. Eight. Marcus Ericsson ninth Sebastian Board A is 10 Scott McLaughlin runs in the 11th position. Max Chilton is 12th counter daily 13th Simon Passion on 14. Marina. Speak 1/15. Jack Harvey is 16 Takuma Sato 17th Kalem Island, Making his IndyCar debut runs in the 18th position. 19th is killing 30th is Ryan Hunter Ray. Jimmy Johnson is 21st Joseph New Garden Boy started 18th. He's already lost some spots running the 22nd position. Oliver ask you got turned in that opening lap accident he runs in 23rd willpower has made a couple trips to pit lane was some damage that looks like the right side of That race car He runs in 24th, but is still on the lead lap. And then it is Hinchcliffe. Castro, Neves and Grosjean, 25th, 26th and 27th final car on the lead lap. I just mentioned it, Ryan Marine is will power and he's been busy in front of you on pit Lane has made two trips to the pit lane, and they've already replaced the nose cone that part of the repair was quick. But it's that under wing that they're trying to repair and David could talk a bit about what that underweight does as far as generating performance on an Indy car. But the leading edge is what they're most concerned about on that under wing that going to work with the bear bond to try and Get that, in His best of shape is possible for willpower the rest of the way. But, David when you hear that What do you think Will power is in store for the rest of this race? If he's got that under wing damage, and that's exactly what it is under wing. So that means down force of that race car and you need all the mechanical and down four script that you can get at this very flat. Portland International Raceway, so it will affect him. There's no question about it, how much we're not sure until you get going, but any time that under wing is damaged, that it does affect straightaway speed, it could put more dragon there and definitely less down force. So again, working a full course caution here in Portland International Raceway. How has this melee shaking up? The points? Well are points that are coming to this weekend was part of award and he's the big winner right now is he has jumped to the race lead. As he is up 34 points on the entire field. Working black number six opening lap accident takes up a hand full of drivers. Hinchcliffe Castro members grow John out of the race infections. Hinchcliffe was out of his car back in the paddock. We know Helio Castro Neves. This car has been told back to the paddock as well. So they're days are done at Davey Hamilton for these drivers when you get so psyched up to go racing, and now all of a sudden you gotta back it back down to run. 56 laps under caution. Yeah, Wait a minute. We got to go through. Turn one again. This is going to be single file, but there's going to be 20 Plus cars still out there. We have 24 still running three out of this race. Uh, but, man, you look at some big movers. I think Simon Pashto actually started like 22nd in this race is currently 14th so guys and.

"Podcast. Just the challenges when you don't have that stable sponsor behind you, And you gotta worry about that, too. Yeah. I mean, it zit crazy part of motor sports. That's very different than other sports, You know, and And the majority of sports basketball, football. Baseball. Whatever if you're talented, and you know, obviously you you said, you still have to have a bit of luck and things go your way, but ultimately You're talented. You're gonna you're kind of progress, and you're gonna probably get to play at the top level of your sport or isn't racing like that. Zat necessarily the case. I mean, you gotta have not only the speed on the track, but you gotta have the ability Tol some appeal to a sponsor, whether that's through your personality or whether that's through your race results or whether that's through. Whatever like there's. There's a lot of factors that teams look at when they when they hire drivers, and it's not just all about performance. So, as you said, I've been very fortunate Tol have the relationship with that bottle parts. The story of how they came on in 2016 is a pretty special one. And, um, that relationship is obviously evolved into something pretty fruitful for everyone and Same goes for from my relationship with Honda and AutoNation as well, You know, all the nation has been an associate team sponsor ever since I've been with and ready and they stepped up in a big way and 2020 to help us reach the full budget for this boy, seven car, So it Zal. Very, very cool and dreaded does a great job with their client relations and marketing team and how they manage all of that, so It's a big team effort. This is not an individual sport. It takes a village to be successful. Yeah, and nothing is guaranteed by the least on the sponsor side in every capacity. It's been a win win for everyone involved with Alexander Rossi and certainly win. For you as well and hopefully, you know there's a lot of people pulling for you. They'll be excited for the race. If you are in victory Lane with your second Indy 500 wins. So, Alexander Good luck today. Good luck to the entire Andretti team and thanks for jumping on the show. Time.

Potter award with That's a good one. Seattle Seahawks. Now. Had a Buffalo also pot of really talented, really, really talented but still has yet to really show. It. Indeed, the discipline is there over 200 laps, not because he's on discipline. Just that there's maturity. There's just a natural experience that comes into play. Um Also a little bit handicapped by the engine that he's running. But really good, really good. That's still a year away, so we'll say Will say the Tennessee Titans. About Tony Kanaan. I would say that he is Green Bay Packers has won one under Aaron Rodgers. Still has it. You know that it's still there. Sometimes you wonder what exactly is missing. But other times. It's absolutely amazing. Not a shocker if he wins, but also not a shocker. If there's a disappointment, Alexander Rossi Uh, Alexander Rossi is I think personally. Also probably well, You know what? I lost you but also be the Chiefs. Massively talented. Marta tell driving his driving a race car. There has to be a little bit of fearlessness. A little bit of smart. Some drivers are more fierce than others. Some drivers are smarter than others, and some drivers have the ultimate mix of the two when it's the right timing for to be there, and that's Roxy. Rocky is the young version of Scott Diction. He's he is really, really good. Graham re hall. Granbury. How's the New England Patriots? Well, I shouldn't say that because you don't want any 500. But has the pedigree has everything lined up where you know, you think? OK, there's just Never seems to fade away. I realized the Patriots did last year, so that may be a bad analogy. Very good. I personally think People in Vegas are looking for a sleeper to throw an extra five bill on I would do it on Graham Ray Holt because he's been fast his teammate, one of last year's Takuma Sato, so obviously his team knows how to build good cars. He looked really good in traffic. And I think Memory always told me on at least five occasions and last year that he feels like this is the year. And I have no exactly, but he's not going to be in the thick of it. I think he is an outstanding outstanding flyers Put five bucks on C'mon, passion all Um Also really good. I mean, Seattle Seahawks. You don't mean like like right there any particular game And there's not surprise you at all. If there was a win, or New Orleans thinks one of those, too. I mean, probably the thing. Has won Indy 501 of the 500 with a great team. Still has a little left in the tank. And Again. If he went another one. It would not be a surprise. But if you get beat, you know in the second round. It doesn't necessarily totally stunned you either, but The things are obviously very well respected team over the last three or four years. That's exactly Simon. Passion Noise. Ryan Hunter raid. Ryan Hunter rate that Ryan had a rape, Probably the Patriots. He hasn't won multiple Indianapolis 500, but he did win one. He's a former Syrian champion. Still competitive, but clearly a lot of people would tell you that we're starting to see the sign that the better years are a year or two behind him. Is Marco Andretti, the Cleveland Browns. Excellent question. The Cleveland Browns are part of a Lord Baker Bayfield is 100% Pato Award. Perfect. I can't believe I didn't think of that award is Baker Mayfield Times 1000, Right? He's gone. Katie Bar the door look out! Fearless, Cocky, personable, likable, no holds barred. Doesn't not afraid to anybody that part of the war Baker makeup perfect analogy. Um Marco Andretti would be more like Going to give one Got Marco Andretti two guys that The talented race car driver, But the reality is can he lacked the one thing that other drivers have, and that is the fear of ever losing his job. So Marco and ready. I like Marco. I think the talented guy I think Marco's best chances of winning are probably in years past. You know, I think at this point, he knows his car probably is not one that capable of winning it. Um Mark Marco Andretti, probably the Dallas Cowboys. Who would be the San Francisco 40 Niners. Got Erickson. You got Carpenter Hinchcliffe daily. Uh, let me move on down. You got VK. No, the 40 Niners to be one month for you. Okay, one of the most elite out there. What One of the most elite out there that Everyone knows this particular year is not the same standard that they have been three years passed, but they're always taken seriously because they're in illustrious franchise. I think Montoya is a talented as anybody. In the history of this event. But he's also longer institution. What about yourself? New Garden? Could he possibly be the Baltimore Ravens? New garden is probably, um New garden is the Kansas City Chiefs until last year when they finally wanted everybody. I mean, there was no question that it was a you know, it was a matter of time that Patrick Mahomes was gonna win it. Joseph new gardeners, Patrick Holmes. Is the two time serious champion. Um, he has massively talented. He drives the Roger Penske shows with a great team. Joseph New Garden is probably right now. The most white hot driver of those who have never wanted to be 500. It is thought to be with in racing circles. Eventual inevitability. He is going to win India at some point This may not be the year because he starts towards the back. I think you started 19th or 20th. But What you set up your car to qualify and the way you set up your car to drive the 32. Other cars on the track are two totally different things. And if the Penske's managed to find Set up that allows him to drive well in traffic. The new garden will be running towards the front and if he's running towards the front, he's got a bit of chances. Anybody very interesting, Jake, we're you know, you've been doing this for a while, Looking forward to watching the race and taking it all in. I appreciate you staying up late on this Friday. No normally No, Jake is ready to go. But it seems like you've toned it down just a little bit on probably taking care of your body A lot more. So probably up earlier than normal. Back in the days before that big heart attack me, I where I would catch it at two a.m.. And that was like prime time for Jake. You You know what? I'm still typically up. So if you can, and nine times out of 10, I'm good to go for whatever you need, but I'll admit we're out today for card day with the final practice before the 500 on Sunday. Um It's been a long week of being out being tracked side by 89 a m, which is early for me. Admitting that I was up this morning about 7 30, which is a Zafar, as I'm concerned, is basically like to like that's like waking up to a M. That's farmer hours for me.

Last accident here comes to PNC Bank. Our crew going to work is entire pressure adjustment at the rear of the car. Just trying to find a bit more stability, Speedway fuel and Scott Dixon is down to the way it looks like Ed Jones. Willpower, feelings. Rosenquist Takuma Sato, a good battle into turn number one. This is the battle for the 13th position. Michael Jones will lead that. Great train willpower finally getting his fit foot back underneath him or speed. I should say underneath him feelings. Rosenquist will be right behind him. Those are some great battles, eh? Jones gets a nice launch out of turn up before but for the first time, it looks like well, power's back on his getting out. This is in the back half of the field at Jones and that blue mouse or electronic scar about four car lengths over willpower power about four over Felix Rosenquist. Then it's Takuma Sato charging hard. The fourth car on that train and Pato award the winner of Texas. Jake. Those five snake their way out of 10 hours got to actually just think to himself a sense of relief that he finally now is right in the thick of it to Michael's point, maybe finding some balance of that car trying to close it on Jones. He's got Rosenquist just behind him. No real movement is they kind of accordion themselves right now, and it's our number 13 Alex below fairly comfortable in third, but it looks as though that Rina's BK is getting a bit more racy with a back to the field, See Vaginal in pretty good shape in the night position. Alexander Rossi looks pretty comfortable in the 11th position. But again, things stacked up a bit behind that quote. Play front again, Jones and in turn over what Jones has 12 and willpower would like to get it back after that free fall through the field moments ago, so willpower will lose a couple of spots that its feelings Rosenquist, the machine of Takuma Sato, right there as well as well as Pato Award, But it is the machine of Ed Jones making his way through the switchback of five. It looks like he has a comfortable advantage over willpower. Yeah, there nose to tail. But Jones is comfortable right now. Over willpower Call it five car legs. The driver from Dubai will get hard on the brakes and yank that steering wheel to the left. Turn over seven willpower will mirror those inputs as they make their way through Turns 89 10 because of the fact that Ed Jones has that blue paint scheme, it still takes my eye getting used to it to realize that that is exactly who that is. But willpower is giving it a very hard examination because he is closing in. Even more so in that solid blue machine, But Rosenquist is right. They're right behind power with the same distance.

"What kind of help these cars work. Well, so Joseph New Garden slips all the way back to the 19 position. Nick Yeomin and so some of the momentum he had started to glean back after the disaster it barber. Maybe is starting T trickle away just a little bit and we go back to Green flag racing. And Scott Dixon Grant gets a great start. But Alex below not so much below lost about six car lengths to Scott Dixon and Cold heard it was the one on the charge Further back. Mark. Tony Kanaan gets around, Rina speak a move him up his spot. Scott Dixon or roars down the back straightaway. The battle, though, is for seconds. Alexander Rossi getting a little racy. He wanted to see Cup of Jack Harvey. But Jack Harvey was not having any of it. But as Nick set that's battle on the race track now the battle for second It's Alex Pelo is trying to run away and hide from Colton hurting. He stretched it out to a couple of car legs. Now with the turnover, why, and to turn one into Scott Dixon's advantage. Eight or nine Car Legs award, get sacked on his horse and starts the bull. A bit of a gap on Colton heard a call it three or four car lengths further back, though, Mark, they're still slugging it out throughout the field, a couple of different drivers going at it, including Pietro Fittipaldi. He's mixed up in a pact with that Jones. It's Jones, Fittipaldi and Felix Rosenquist that the battle for the night position at Jones is gonna be able to step away from that, with a little bit willpower to try to catch back up for that back, will currently running in the 12th position, while Back up front already A 9/10 of a second leave for Scott Dixon. Yeah, it was a perfect restart for Scott Dixon is he saw that green flag, of course, is the leader. He could control the start. But Mark, he left his teammate Alex below, really sleeping at the line below, though kind of gather back up there turns two and three year threw down the back straightaway marquees counted about 10 Carlin. Willpower had up stacked up behind him off the turnover for power, currently running in a third, beat her 13th position. Lot of award. Simon Passion zero G. Ray home all trying to work their way around it, but couldn't quite do it yet. It's a matter of fact award almost got him into turn number three power. Move down all the way down the inside down the back straightaway to kind of hold that line. Pato Award had a strong charge. Now the back straightaway couldn't make it work. And now mark you left to gather it back up Pato Award and Simon Passion Oh, both chasing after willpower. That's the battle for 13 Keep it. I'll Joseph New Garden after the restart that penalty forced him to the rear of the field, and Joseph's not been able to gain any measurable benefit to try to get a spotter to back. Meanwhile, Scott McLaughlin working on Alexander Rossi Rossi trying to catch up to Jack Harvey, that battle works his way down the back straightaway. So I've been doing a great job running in that six position trying to catch Alexander Rossi about a four car like this advantage. Then McLachlan's got one of the best in the business. Tony Kanaan through turns three and four, could not about five car legs back of the rookie at its herd for to show you how Lady Luck could smile, a party of Davey Hamilton. We looked at guys like Kanaan and VK, and he has got the Laughlin and Alexander Rossi. We thought, How would those guys get into contention in ball? Itwas was a for some an ill time yellow. But for guys like them, the yellow could have come at a better time. That's exactly right. How about if I told you right now the highest running Pitesti car would be the rookie McLachlan running in that in that fifth position right now, during that six position right now, and the rest of pissing guys or the bad kind of struggling Simon passion all he's in port power. 14 national 50 not what we normally see guys. Obviously new guard went back that 18 spot. After the penalty, but great great run by McLachlan right now, and he's all over us. I mean, Rossi, Harvey looks like he might be holding that that line up just a little bit. Meanwhile, 1st and 2nd place they flat out. Check out on Colton heard And then from Colton back every about 20 cars lined up nose to tell. I tell you, I continue to be oppressed by Piatco Fittipaldi. Davey. I mean, these kids got a handful of start to the NTT IndyCar series. He comes to a place like this, which is really totally out of his comfort zone. First time he's been back in an Indy car in quite a while in a competitive situation, And yet he's got that 51 machine running right around the tip position tonight. How impressive is that? You're right. That's a great run for him, And he said he'd done it with confidence. You you watch him go around here and it looks like he's been in many, many races right now is Erickson gets will run on him coming off. Turn two trying to get anything done that back straightaway was seeping. Make best. No fit. Apology still keeps it going down into turn three.

He's back in the game and ninth with fast race cars should be addressing to see You guys got a young greenest BK right ahead of him rookie and Scott McLaughlin. I imagine they maybe taking the school here on this restart where we know with the way this thing is shaping up these restarts, you're gonna have to get everything you can adult Kellett Takuma Sato, a couple of guys that waited and waited and waited and waited. Graham Ray Hall, another one, and they waited it jealousy. It's Ray Hall Sato talent all waiting till lap 68 to go to pit road.

But it's gonna be a long night for that A J. Foyt group and let's go to pit road getting updates from Michael Young. Yeah, just touching on Joseph New Garden that it's that he will have to go back of the pack. Killed flat to follow the 29 tips Just got on the radio. You have to go to the back. Joseph didn't really argue with this. So you will see him restart in the 20th position. It restricted. No, David, that new gardens of what that goes to the rear of the field and board a pointed the goat herder for slowing up off of turn number two. Yeah, I don't know about that call. I don't think that was a great call. But that's just me from here point. Just like that driver. I got slow down in front of me in your fast you are and these speeds you gains quickly, guys and cold must have issue but we're behind you. You don't know that's happening. And you everybody slow down the facet good and just barely touched him. So I don't feel that's a fair call personally, But that zone that just means the race driver know what kind of help these cars work.

"Michael Young Jae query as we are 15 laps in doubt, Dixon Hello, continue to set the pace. Power. Heard of Harvey looks solid of the top five passion aboard a V Kei Sato Erickson trying to keep pace a couple of lattes ago We saw Alexander Rossi lose the 13th position of Pato Award. Pato Award look really strong, marking the practice session, the 90 minute practice session that we had a few hours ago and it was a nice move out of turn number two. Rossi's Napa car washed up the race track is a little bit and then orange and black McClaren car for Pato Award strongly getting around him to move up a spot TK was able to pick up three spots on the start and has been stuck back of the 20th position. And it's interesting to notice you look back through the field all through this mile and a half old That make yo. But there's just the spacing is about dead even from first all the way back to 24. Everyone trying to set guys up is the leaders make their way out of tournament for that lead for Dixon, Still about three or four car links, and you're right mark right now settling in 17 laps in Everybody Just got a feeling this one baby. It's not out of the question that one of the things that might come into play if we get into a very long green flag run here. Traffic may come into play because he's leaders. But let 25 maybe 30 start catching the rear of the field. That's exactly right. Here's a question with the leaders do catch those back markers are they going to be able to gain continued to gain on them? Are they going to be able to get beside that? My past emerges just gonna be, you know, steady behind them and just get their journey here and say that ive carnies wine and you are yet to see they're exactly about a half a lap apart. From each other right now. So the next next 10 laps or so I expect a little bit lap traffic played a part in this game. Alex Pelo led the first two laps. Scott picks this lead The last 17 and update on 20th Place running Tony Kanaan, Jake weary. Get on as we know TK likes to go fast. But right now that car is stuck in six years literally, he had radioed in, said. It's a gearbox issue. They thought they could reset it while he was out there. It didn't work. So they told Tony Kanaan, just go ahead. Stay where you are for right now, when you come in for the pit stop, will be able to reset it then. But as it stands right now, out on the racetrack, that car is not gonna be in anything but six for Tony Kanaan. Time for Michael Young to join us now, with the HPD Engineering update. Be engineering update where we're here with Rebecca Johnson, the HPD director of production, and Rebecca. It has been a great start to this 2021 campaign not to look too forward down this into the season, but but Honda's performed exceptionally well this year. Thank you. I believe we have, but we have a long way to go yet. And so we just look forward to seeing what happens about this first race of the season on an oval Very excited to get started on the ovals and see what bring what that brings Forest looking forward to this weekend and the double header as well, hoping the weather holds out for us. Obviously, we've had a change of schedule already with that, but here's hoping it's six to it for for us this weekend, we shall the best. Thank you that your HPD engineering updating that was Rebecca Johnson, the HPD director of production. Make it happen. Davey Hamilton that this manufacturer's championship is gonna have some swings throughout the course of the season. But minded continues to flex a little muscle because right now they have four of the top five spots here in Texas. Yeah, They sure do powers that I wanted the middle kind of messing that thing up for right there. Right. Hot is really stepped up her game up this year, and it seems like they've they've had the engine. The beat no matter what kind of race track we're on. Here we are, for the first time on the side bank mile on the haves and men Not only well, you know, can ask the strong here. We don't get some strong here. But it seems like a lot of heart is that about Colton heard. He looks strong it but impressive. Harvey guys, Harvey's been doing a great job this year. I think he came out of the box strong. I think that that team finally has that that stability and that knowledge of what it takes to be running up front every time. I think, Jackson a lot of homework, man, I think this guy's for real and even win races from here on out. I think, Davey, we're 25 laps in now. At what point do we start? Maybe see entire Dick come into play. Well, I I think the time guys right now, if you asked him they're gonna want tires right now, but they need to wait until least last 55 further fuel, Toto. Manage out for them. So I say, 55. The window is 55 to 65. We'll see. We'll see if anybody needs Chinese just little bit. Hurry.

Of course, that was fastest in the practice session.

"Okay folks. This should be fun. We've got a famous racing driver on the show alexander rossi's in the house. This dude races indycar. He races prototypes. He's had a hand in bathurst sat. Hand formula one. He sat a hand off road. And he's telling us stories about all of it. Alexander rossi is on the smug tire podcast. It's from indiana alexander. Rossi is in the house or virtually. What's up man not much. Thanks for having me your welcome. Thank you for dive bombing in zach. Let's get him back. Because i don't wanna look at me. The audience wants to see alex and yet there is with a beautifully soft zoom background approp- appropriate for working from home. Welcome thank you. I'm i'm happy to be here. Happy that in this day and age we can still at face to face contact. Bertish again which i would have bought zoom stock Year ago a year ago the were skype was verb skype. Nothing anymore but that was like skype was the was kleenex a year ago. Where do they go. I mean has anyone dropped the ball harder than skype zooms product. Really that much better though. I think i think we'll we're not we don't use zoom we're using switzer cast but zoom. I think zack zoom the first one to do the the multiple boxes. Zillow allow you to do group chatting. Can you do that on skype Skype followed zoom and skype is far worse. It's quite bad okay. I guess that's that's be it was all about all about the group chat presume I just want to start with like what the hell is it. Like to be a racing driver in the last twelve months like is it. Weird is it. It's less cool than it was fourteen months ago. Just it's it's amazing. How much the fans. I mean to any sport but yeah to racing. You know there's because we don't really see them in the middle of race because you're in a car and it's not a stadium type sport so much of the pre event build up. An energy is all fan related. So that goes away. You're kind of like on the grid about to do this race when it's kind of like cool. This is weird. I feel your practice or something's a practice race. Shouldn't something like that. Because you're right. Show the driver introductions and the fireworks and the parade lap and all that sort of thing and when that goes away. You're just getting in your car and driving around in circles to people have they done. Did they have they tried to do. I mean look. Obviously everyone's doing doing their best to make make it work and keep keep people employed and keep people entertained and you know from drivers to crew people to whoever tv people and whatnot. Have they tried to do anything. That was really a good faith effort to take something that was formerly in person and and make it virtual where you're just like. Oh god this does not work. Yeah kind of and like it's a good segue like. I'm so thankful that we're able to get a season in the first place right. That was always a big concern. When this when this all kind of kicked off on march like are we going to raise his racing exists and all this stuff so it was a huge effort from the promoters in the series teams. All kind of finagle. Their way and make make a season happen but yeah the series tried a lot of different virtual kind of fan meet and greets in sponsor appearances. And it was. It was a necessary evil. Sure but i about the fact that. I just cannot wait for the day that you were back to in person attendance. Just because it's so it's so strange because sometimes like you have these these meet and greets but like people don't really wanna talk to you so you're just sitting there trying to engage audience. That doesn't have anything to ask. And you're like well. I have this for launch. Today i grew up in california. And it's just it's very strange. You lose that human to human interaction but nonetheless we're all adapting. It's all good. It's a it's a very much a first world problem and on unhappy to to start the season here next weekend.

"Brian Marine joins us by the way from Daytona. So what is your scheduled in? Ryan? I mean for you personally. You take a break or you are a quote unquote off the clock win or do you stay? Or is this an endurance race for you as well? It is to some degree, but we have a team that covers this unusually. It's a team of us on site right now. I'm the only representative of our outlet. On site. We've got somebody covering from Chicago and then another staff member who actually lives in the U. K. And that actually is a huge help because when it's the middle of the night for us, it's now the afternoon or late morning, at least for for him so he can kind of take over. Give those of us based here in the states a little break and I do plan on going back to the hotel on getting I don't know, two or three hours of sleep at some point here. In the next few hours or so and then coming back and trying to be the refreshed take it through to the end of this thing, the notable names Ryan Marine you are watching in this event. Who and what are the story lines so far or Is it kind of too early to really know what's going to shake out. It's too early to an extent, but you can see the Web starting to come together. You can see the threads of this narrative starting to build and as far as names go, it all starts with the reigning NASCAR Cup series champion. Chase Elliott, who is driving a sports car for the first time. He sat in the thing for the first time just over a week ago, as a matter of fact, and he's out there. Jimmy Johnson, who is transitioning from NASCAR to Indy car This year. He's out here running in an all Star car that includes time passion. Oh, former IndyCar champion and Indy 500 winner. You've got Alexander Rossi out on track right now. Running in third. Scott Dixon was battling for the lead just a little while ago. There are some names that race fans of all stripes they're going to recognize and then some of the best of the best in sports car racing. The leader right now is Japanese driver who had some F one experience community. Kobayashi. Who is a nabs salute, stud in a prototype, and that's what he's driving right now out in front. I think they think that's been most interesting to this point is the attrition level has been surprisingly low there 49 cars that took the started only three around at this point, and that's AH, bit of a surprise, especially Wouldn't some of the storylines coming in work concerns over attrition, Um, with some inexperienced drivers. Quite a few of them in the race this year, wasn't Kobayashi won that the fellow's name that was Joey Chestnut's nemesis. With that, Kobayashi. You're right. This is a different Kobayashi. Are you sure this because I think he bailed on the hot dog deal, right? Didn't he, like, get upset one day and leave. I think you're right. Do we know? Is he driving the Oscar Mayer? Is it? Is it the winner? Car? Is he out there in the Oscar Mayer Wiener car? Have you checked? I have checked it. It's not the winner that that thing If you've got 24 hours to get it, going the Oscar Markov rockets and giddy up, right? Now, the good the hides catch up car. It takes 24 hours just to get it off a pit road. But the hostile fire machine would be all right, Ryan Marine. Give us one more time where you work can be read. This weekend. It's up at sports car 3 65 dot com will be up posting updates all throughout the race and then a whole lot of reaction when things wrap up and we'll have our Weekly podcast coming out on Tuesday as well. Hope you checked those out if you're a race, man, Ryan, we appreciate it travels. Trouble back safely, All right? You got a drink? Good talking with you. Ryan Marine from Daytona. We'll switch gears. Pardon the pun back to high school basketball Next network Indiana. My name is Taylor McClane and my brother's Saved five lives in 2016. When my brother who's your race car driver, Brian Claussen tragically died in a racing accident. He became a hero because of his decision to be an organ donor. That decision has inspired countless others to do the same. He didn't just give somebody It's hard. There were several people that were recipients of him and that that's powerful NASCAR champ Ryan Newman sat down with Indiana donor network and shared how signing up to be an organ donor is bigger than one person. I mean to think about. What you can do for yourself is one thing, but what you could do for so many others is powerful, and I'm just proud to be a part of what Brian and his family had started in Indiana donor network. In the driven to save lives. Campaign.
