I was only half paying qattention to the race, what happened to power? I saw him stall in the pits, but that shouldn't have caused him to be that far behind Dixon in the end, or was that literally it?

It was a really bad stall. Got going long enough to get two pit stalls down so they had to drag the car back by hand before they could restart it. He was just stuck in the field after that.

I logged in to the website to claim two of my four tickets, but that was back when the numbers in Indiana were still trending down. If it's still bad by then (of course it will be), I'll be happy to eat the cost of two tickets. Will be nothing in comparison to my wedding two weeks after probably being super cancelled. Looking forward to May 2021 if we as a society get there.

StubHub cancelled my order for the 500 this year, but isnt offering refunds. Only a 120% of value voucher. So now I have like $1300 in StubHub Bux. Great....

Roger Penske has a stupid amount of money. The series itself will be fine.

The bigger question is the teams themselves and any hits they take on sponsor money.

How would it even work? One team run by the scud and the other teams with Ferrari-sourced engines branded as Alfa or Maserati? I can't imagine a third of the field actually getting any Ferrari branding.

I'm too lazy to dig up the tweet but when that "Name your favorite sports moment in a boring way" thing was circling twitter last week, some fan said "Rossi driving 500 miles and running out of fuel" tagging him in, and he corrected them to say "499.5"

good lad, but yikes, hope he doesn't keep feeling the anvil's wrath
