Poor Hildebrand....

by pennst24 Sun May 26, 2013 12:24 pm

Yeah Panther Racing, lets fire Dan Wheldon so we can hire JR HILDEBRAND. Rolling Eyes

by f1fan12 Sun May 26, 2013 12:27 pm

Carpenter was slow on that restart.

by **crl** Sun May 26, 2013 12:31 pm

Marco to the front. Not too long until he crashes.

by f1fan12 Sun May 26, 2013 12:32 pm

Really good racing so far. Looks like it will be a good one!

by PackerMan71 Sun May 26, 2013 12:43 pm

When you already have 10 lead changes in the first 30 laps, you know you're in for a good one. Very Happy

by RyanB06 Sun May 26, 2013 12:49 pm

Did I just see Pippa's running P2?

by Lucstar88 Sun May 26, 2013 12:49 pm

The 6 wrecked, got blocked by someone, wants a BIG Penalty

by Lucstar88 Sun May 26, 2013 12:52 pm

Wait, Brad's at Indy? okay

Looked like a red car. Maybe Vautier?

That someone would be Pippa Mann.

by f1fan12 Sun May 26, 2013 12:55 pm

Carpenter nearly wrecked himself under caution.

by Metro 6r4 Sun May 26, 2013 12:56 pm

Carpenter is a lawnmower!

by **crl** Sun May 26, 2013 1:03 pm

Sato one spot from the Top 5...

by RealRacer4 Sun May 26, 2013 1:09 pm

TAKUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! Sad

Okay. Nevermind. He didn't hit anything.

by f1fan12 Sun May 26, 2013 1:10 pm

Sato spins it, but I think he can continue!

by FlashRod4 Sun May 26, 2013 1:10 pm

Round goes Sato... Caution.

by Lucstar88 Sun May 26, 2013 1:13 pm

NO! Sato, this saves De Silvestro from being lapped

Rahal & Jakes each fined $10,000 for blend line violations. Never heard of fines being levied during the race before.

by RealRacer4 Sun May 26, 2013 1:42 pm

Allmendinger! Holy crap! That team recovered quickly!

And Dario's 19th?! Wow!

by RyanB06 Sun May 26, 2013 1:43 pm

No kidding...Dinger's on it!

We're at halfway already? This race is going quick!

by RealRacer4 Sun May 26, 2013 1:57 pm

Out of all of the years in watching the Indy 500 on tv and online, I don't think I haven't seen a pack as tight as I've seen today. It almost feels like I'm watching this year's Daytona 500, except with a lot of passing!

by **crl** Sun May 26, 2013 1:58 pm

Best part about this race so far is the fact that NONE of the Ganassi cars are ANYWHERE near the front.

by navycook75 Sun May 26, 2013 2:02 pm

I haven't slept since 5pm yesterday afternoon, and it's worth it.

Though I'm probably calling it a night after this....and I'll be missing Daytona for GOMA NTS...

by **crl** Sun May 26, 2013 2:06 pm

Man, Hinchtown is NOT having a good day.

by f1fan12 Sun May 26, 2013 2:37 pm

Now they have weather threatening!

by **crl** Sun May 26, 2013 2:39 pm

LOL @ Bourdais.

by Metro 6r4 Sun May 26, 2013 2:40 pm

Erm...What the hell was that Bourdais?

by Mystrsyko Sun May 26, 2013 2:42 pm

Looks like Ganassi really dropped the ball this year

by RyanB06 Sun May 26, 2013 2:45 pm

The rate they're going weather won't factor. We're closing in on 10 to go.

I'm trying to figure out what would be cooler: Munoz winning it as a rookie who'd never done live pit stops before Indy or Marco finally breaking the Andretti Curse.

Or Kannan winning it after 11 years!

by Mystrsyko Sun May 26, 2013 2:48 pm

Personally I want Kanaan to get it

by RealRacer4 Sun May 26, 2013 2:50 pm

This is going to get crazy.

by RyanB06 Sun May 26, 2013 2:50 pm

Graham Rahal into the wall...caution!

by bigdc48 Sun May 26, 2013 2:50 pm

And the caution is out. This should be good. Very Happy

by f1fan12 Sun May 26, 2013 2:50 pm

Possible buzz kill finish by Rahal!

by navycook75 Sun May 26, 2013 2:51 pm

we're getting a restart, mark my words.

by Mystrsyko Sun May 26, 2013 2:52 pm

It's on the inside of the backstretch. It should be cleaned up quick

by BWard Sun May 26, 2013 2:53 pm

I'm feeling very chilled about this upcoming finish.

by RyanB06 Sun May 26, 2013 2:53 pm

Too bad there's no green-white-checkered rule in Indycar.

by f1fan12 Sun May 26, 2013 2:55 pm

Edit: Still a Buzz kill finish
Kannan wins the Indy 500!

by RyanB06 Sun May 26, 2013 2:56 pm

And the Andretti Curse continues.

by navycook75 Sun May 26, 2013 2:56 pm

TONY KANAAN WINS INDY! YES!

by bigdc48 Sun May 26, 2013 2:58 pm

After 12 years of trying, Tony Kaanan finally does it. What a hell of a race.

by RealRacer4 Sun May 26, 2013 2:58 pm

HE DID IT!!! HE FINALLY DID IT!! I know it was a buzzkill finish, BUT STILL!!! You can't take away the fact that this was an amazing race! I'm really happy for Kanaan. He deserves it!!

by RyanB06 Sun May 26, 2013 2:58 pm

by f1fan12 Sun May 26, 2013 3:02 pm

Best Indy 500 in a while!

by RealRacer4 Sun May 26, 2013 3:11 pm

As glad as I am to see Kanaan win the race, I really would've liked to see what would've happened had that caution not come out. Man, Carlos Munoz...what a driver! Makes his 1st IndyCar start at Indy, stays in the top 5 the whole race, finishes 2nd and is SAD that he didn't win. That guy's got a future in his career.
