Wish the series was still around 26 full-time entries, but this will be a fun one nonetheless.

Newgarden at Penske will be fun.

A thing i will give the series is it feels like every team has one killer driver, sure that might be an excuse for the poopy car count but hey brightside of life.

Newgarden hype be like.

Taku's getting back into that 2011 form and that's not good.

Sato hasn't honestly shown much since he won a couple of races and nearly won the Indy 500.

The first of two Indy Lights races at St Petersburg was extremely boring. Aaron Telitz dominated everyone, leading all laps after starting on the pole. The next Indy Lights race is early morning tomorrow.

I watched it and i'm going disagree on this, the mid-field fight was really fun and i was feel a good way to get me acclimated with some of the drivers this year.

Good point, it was awesome to see the drivers race together cleanly and to not do anything overly ambitious at any point to cause a wreck, which normally has happened in Indy Lights in the recent years. I'm especially rooting for Colton Herta to do good out there, and he did look great today. It was sad to see Santiago Urrutia have troubles early though.

I think this could be the most talented and potential-loaded Indy Lights field in quite a while.

Colton Herta wins the second Indy Lights race at St Petersburg. It was a pretty fun race though I wasn't able to watch all of it. Great racing took place behind the leaders while they were chasing Herta all race. There were two cautions, unlike yesterday. Neil Alberico crashed out on lap one. Nico Jamin also had to drop out of the race early (I don't know if this was related to Alberico's crash). Garth Rickards also blew a tire late in the and smacked the wall hard.

Amazing to see Herta take the victory.

Green Flag is out at St Petersburg and there is first lap trouble. Looks like Charlie Kimball got into the back of Rahal, sending Rahal spinning. Carlos Munoz also got collected. Mikhail Aleshin has damage and Ryan Hunter Reay dove into pit lane before the green flag.

Also, the Andretti cars are having some brake issues, so keep that in mind.

Looks like we have a yellow flag for debris after Aleshin hit the back of Kanaan's car, damaging the right side of the back wing and sending little parts flying.

YES! I'm so excited to see Sébastien Bourdais and Dale Coyne go to victory lane together, and right out of the gate in 2017! That was a masterful drive by Bourdais after taking advantage of the well-timed yellow and leading 69 of the 110 laps!

In victory lane, Bourdais is speechless, and in tears. That really shows how much that this win means. I am so happy for him!

Bourdais wins from the last starting position. Great thing to see from Indycar early in the season.

Also Takuma Sato finished 5th Smile

In the predictions thread, I wrote:Upset of the year: Dale Coyne wins another pit strategy race with Sebastian Bourdais

Bourdais had a hell of a drive today, and I almost hesitate to call this race win an upset. He started from the back, worked his way up to the lead before halfway, and stayed there. It's something special when Dale Coyne wins a race, moreover when they more or less dominate the race like they did here today. GW #18.

This was an okay race. Not too terribly eventful, aside from Bourdais' win, Power having trouble, and the first lap accident. There was more stuff only worthy of a footnote.

First half was solid, second fell of though. I think an aight race all around.

Holy hell did Champ Car Bourdias return in a big way, killer run that i think has all but killed Coyne's status as a last place team. That's a strong statement early.
