Man, does that suck. Delayed for four hours, and then, bam, wrecked on the first lap. Talk about a shitty day.

Yes, but thunderstorms are expected in the area at 8 PM to the percentage of 40%.
How is it possible that a car won’t start at the beginning of the race? That seems to happen every once in a while and I don’t get it. Isn’t that a basic check before the race to make sure the car starts?
Talk about an anticlimactic start to the race…wait around for 4 extra hours only to have the first lap cut short by a three car accident coming out of turn 1. Three yellow flags by lap 28…Penske just walked out to his Winnebago to take a sh*t.
Computer glitch in the steering wheel. Expect head(s) to roll. Cars, along with life in general, have gotten too high tech, too problematic.
Yes but even my car starts 99% of the time and I don’t have people whose sole job is to make sure it works all the time. Crazy. And it happens every other year to someone.
Your car is a Big Wheel compared to the hi-tech spaceships these guys are driving.
Not a good day for Honda.
These cars have come a long way since the first rear-view mirror.
A bad day for the Andretti family is called Indianapolis 500.
I shouldn't laugh at that, but literally three minutes ago, I just explained to Mama Goat why they were "the bad luck family." The name everyone knows that hasn't won in half a century.
He seems to be doing everything right. It would almost be a shame if he doesn't get it.
I would love to see Marco win, or even the team win, but the reality is they won't. I don't think they have near the resources Penske has.
I honestly don't care that much, but if I had to pick, I'd go for the team over Marco, because I'd like to see Michael not be a disappointment to his father.
Luck now becomes huge. There was that cold 500 back in the 90s, cars including the pole sitter wrecked on the parade laps. It was so cold, there was no grip.
I worry there will be a yellow and the restart on cold tires on a cold track will turn this into a luck of the draw.
I hate the fact that too much can come down to when the caution happens in relation to which pit strategy you're on. Not sure what can be done about that, but it's just gambling. They call it "strategy," but it's really just buying a particular fuel lottery ticket and hoping your number pops up.
I really thought he had it. The effort to take the lead at the white flag looked to be everything.
The timing of when to take the lead has to be so difficult. I am just glad Dixon didn't, I think he deserved the penalty.
