A bunch of people scattered to lifeboat Discords when it looked like Lowtax was going to sink the ship, and then just never came back :smith:

Would love to see the IndyCar discussion get back here this year!

Saw the Alex Palou ad while I was filling up our Mazda on the way to the airport and my flight out to St. Pete. I’ve noticed some folks complaining about those ads on a refilling terminal, and the tune-in mailers with Josef Newgarden on the cover of the envelope, who’ve positioned both as cheap or desperate ways to market the series, and I passionately disagree.

Having grown up in and worked in the CART IndyCar era when it was the No. 1 racing series in the country, there was a complementary layer to that widespread popularity, and it came in the form of CART promos being found in common areas. Having dinner at a major chain restaurant in the 1990s version of an Applebee’s or Chili’s, and it was common to see a Miller beer placard on your table with Bobby Rahal’s Miller-sponsored IndyCar. Go to the local mini mart and the posters in the windows, which have NASCAR or F1 cars today once had CART cars. Open a magazine at the doctor’s office, and there was a strong chance you’d see a full-page ad from one of the many auto companies involved in CART, or a Fortune 100 sponsor, repping their IndyCar involvement.

Who the hell is complaining about seeing Indycar ads on the Valupak mailer? I agree that the existence of that stupid mailer, and gas station pump ads, and the vast majority of the advertising we're blanketed with, is bullshit; but since those aren't going away, it's a good thing to see Indycar there.

I distinctly remember when Target had Dario and Dixon popups stuck on the shelf next to the Suave shampoo. Ironically it was when both of them had short hair.

I'm pretty entertained by the loony tunes puff of dust the card becomes if they leave the track.

Hybrid units strike again at the IMS media center. And apparently the thermal club power grid.

That battle between Palou and Lundgaard was fantastic racing, glad Lungaard is showing that he belongs in a good car

What was up with Penske's horrible quali performance across all three cars?

Fox coverage makes it really hard to follow what’s happening during qualifying. No time/speed updates on screen until they cross the finish line? Pretty boring to watch that way.

7 laps in this is already 100x more entertaining than the F1 race this morning.
