Pick the Podium: IndyCar - Quicken Loans Dual in Detroit- Belle Isle, Detroit, MI

[IndyAndy]

Red Flag. Now we wait to see what happens with the weather.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea they may call it since we are getting close to the 2-hour mark. Munoz would win his first race.

 

[Retroram52]

Would be cool to see Andretti Autosport finishing one-two. They need a punch in the arm about now.

 

[IndyAndy]

Congrats to Munoz on his 1st IndyCar win.

Unfortunately, we both got blanked on our picks.

More rain - & colder - for tomorrow.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep. Good to see Andretti Autosport finish one-two. Munoz gets his first. On we go tomorrow with same point totals. I think I'll wait until tomorrow for my Sunday selections.

 

[IndyAndy]

Same here: They will qualify again in the morning.

 

[Retroram52]

I'll get my choices in right before the green flag. I have to take care of some pressing business. I'll be back.

 

[IndyAndy]

Qualifying was rained out: The grid was set based on championship points so far this season.

I'll take:

Montoya
Dixon
Rahal

 

[Retroram52]

I'll go with Dixon, Rahal, Andretti

 

[Retroram52]

Montoilet has the lead and it is getting bigger over Power. Cold track and the rain is still falling.

 

[Retroram52]

Now Power fights back and the rain continues. Montoilet looks stout.

 

[Retroram52]

Dixon is a comin' and so is Power.

 

[Retroram52]

Both Italian drivers on slicks ended up in the wall. Another caution.

 

[IndyAndy]

Dixon taking one heck of a chance on tire strategy yet again.

 

[Retroram52]

Connor Daly is leading the race with Hunter-Reay second. Where did these guys come from?

 

[Retroram52]

Newgaarden nails the wall on the slicks that were cold. This could be anybody's race. Whoever has the right combo of tires and fuel at the end, takes this one.

 

[Retroram52]

Frikin' Coletti can't stay out of the wall and Karam bumps Hawksworth. These young dudes sure are spending a lot of time wreckin'.

 

[Retroram52]

Full-course yellow plays int the hands of the top three.

 

[Retroram52]

Ah crap. Kimball takes out Dixon as Dixon was on the move. Bourdais still leads Montoliet and Rahal with a 11 to go and everyone is good-to-go on gas with all these cautions.

 

[IndyAndy]

Great move, Charlie.
