Pick the Podium: IndyCar - Firestone 600 Texas Motor Speedway - Ft. Worth, TX

[Retroram52]

This one is on Saturday night with the high fast speeds of the Texas Motor Speedway. Should be interesting to see of the Hondas have stopped whining and come with a motor to match the Chevies are not.

 

[Retroram52]

After the first practice, Pagenaud is at P1 with speeds of 216mph followed by Power and Sato. This is going to be another fast race.

 

[Retroram52]

Power takes the pole followed by Pagenaud and Castroneves. This one of those races that nearly anyone in the top ten could win. Munoz is fourth followed by Montoilet, Rahal, and Dixon. Yikes, choosing is going to be difficult.

 

[IndyAndy]

You're right: An oval race of this distance could be just about anybody's victory if they play their cards right.

Nonetheless; I'll take:

Castroneves
Dixon
Rahal

 

[Retroram52]

I'll go with Castroneves, Montoliet, Rahal.

 

[forty_three]

Rahal's gotta win one some time, right? C'mon!

 

[Retroram52]

Pagenaud is the leader early on followed by Kanaan and Montoliet.

 

[Retroram52]

Pagenaud looks balanced and pretty stout with 65 laps done.

 

[Retroram52]

Power and Rahal have faded.

 

[Retroram52]

Kanaan gets by Pagenaud and Rahal is the pits again.

 

[Retroram52]

Top five are Kanaan, Pagenaud, Montoilet, Castroneves, Power. Rahal is now 2 laps down.

 

[Retroram52]

Montoliet just passed Pagenaud for second.

 

[Retroram52]

Hunter-Reay is having a horrid year.

 

[IndyAndy]

Why was the yellow thrown?

 

[Retroram52]

Have no idea Indy.

 

[Retroram52]

There is not a race that hasn't gone by this year where Sato is involved in some sort of trouble.

 

[Retroram52]

And a very decent crowd tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

The track is cooling off and Kanaan is still ahead of Dixon and Castroneves. Montoliet has faded to 7th.

 

[Retroram52]

Rahal has got one of his laps back.

 

[Retroram52]

Sage Karem was told to just finish the race without a penalty.
