Yes cause a Las Vegas is totally happening again. ALL OVALS ARE SCARY!!!111

Cars hitting almost 228 mph, and the fact that we've serious injuries in the Indy 500 in the last few years, like Mike Conway and Vitor Meira, just doesn't feel very comforting, even with this new car.

Trolololotus fail, and my man Hinchcliffe out front. It's gonna be a good day.

That was a cluster**** of a start

Slotus...

I like the name "Slow Tortoise" myself, but I digress.

oh man Castroneves just had a bad pit stop, think lug nuts weren't fastened properly.

Plus a little flame that had to be put out.

Inb4 Marco Andretti has catastrophic problem in 2nd half of race.

Inb4 Dario wins

Conway needs some driver's ed. Everyone knows pedestrians always have the right-of-way.

OH No! Conway

Wow Conway got on his side, Power was just an innocent victim.

Instant karma for Conway. Taking a page out of Stan Fox's book there

Oh shit I thought we were gonna have a dead driver right there

Well THere goes my pick to win the race.

Mike Conway almost have the same amount of luck that the Andrettis have at IMS. Damn that was scary. Good to see both drivers walk away.

Squeeze in between wall and car got him airborne. Once again the new car safe both their lifes.

If that car had launched six inches higher it would have been so much like Wheldon's wreck. Very scary.

Surprised no one mentioned Castroneves. He would have been a dead man, had that wheel travelled in a slightly different way.

You're kidding right?

Speaking of Andretti luck, what lap is Marco going out on? And Kanaan for that matter. It seems to have rubbed off on him too

Also did anyone notice the debris field there BEFORE Conway and Power got there?

Maybe not Conway or Power, but definitely Castroneves. Same situation with Senna, Massa and Henry Surtees, 2 of which died, 1 of which suffered severe head injury.

No I'm not. I was getting ready to see that car disintegrate from the top down due to the catch fence, or the car going across the wall in such a way that would of hit his head.

I'm very glad to see that the outcome of the wreck wasn't the case

Not to mention that wheel that almost smashed Castroneves's head. I think we know all too well from Henry Surtees what that can do.

That was more after the fact watching the replays, but Castroneves was incredibly lucky with that as well

wow, Franchitti is up to 2nd after that pit road incident he had earlier. Good recovery from him.

I think the Ganassi boys may have it in the bag unless this strategy they're on blows up in their face.

Okay. I know this is off topic from the race but did I just notice Jamie Little has a baby bump while reporting what a gas man has to wear? Am I the only one finding out just now? Anyway, Ganassi have been putting up a decent fight as of late.

SATO IS THE LEADER!

Sorry Hinchy but Danica will always be the main GoDaddy Spokesperson.

Jamie announced her pregnancy about a month ago via twitter.

I figured it was already announced considering how big of a bump it was, just happened to not pay attention. How epic would it be to hear the Japanese commentary with Sato winning the Indy 500, or Sato pulling a J.R. Hildebrand on the last turn of the last lap of this race?

Man, Marco screwed himself for pitting early.

0.0 Seconds!

Less than 50 to go. It's go time!

Someonecall a whabamulance for Marco

I want Sato to win SO BAD!

Or Wilson....Dale Coyne winning the Indy 500 =

lol special ed spun -_-

Cy might be right, Wilson might get this.

Carpenter could've pulled off the epic upset!

This racing has been WILD. Carpenter (up until he spun it), Sato, Wilson, all have a chance of winning this thing. Damn, son.
