Re: 2020 Indy 500 predictions
Based on practice and qualifying, the Honda powered cars have a big edge over the Chevy engines. If that holds true in the race then it will probably be one of the Andretti or Ganassi cars in the winner’s circle.

Re: 2020 Indy 500 predictions
I would like to see Dixon take it, but never ever count out a Penske car.

Perhaps Marco will be a late bloomer ? we'll see...... one can never rule out Dixon and I agree with the Penske statement Chris made, I'd kinda like to see Simon repeat.
Cheers ! …. Dave

Re: 2020 Indy 500 predictions
I would think that with any form of auto racing that laps under yellow aren't counted. Only green flag laps should be counted.

Re: 2020 Indy 500 predictions
Mixed on the Rossi penalty....I was rooting for him but I really think it was a marginal call
Dixon, Rossi and Sato going at it with 25 to go would have been amazing. The last pit stop changes really determine the outcome to a great degree
Anyone else think the broadcast had way to many commercials? And what does Patrick add?

Re: 2020 Indy 500 predictions
Overall, pretty good race. Dixon dominated but what counts is who’s leading the last lap.
Unfortunate the penalty to Rossi. Also, after getting on pole, Andretti was really not a factor. Furthermore, Alonso had a terrible car.
Lastly, NBC coverage was lacking with way too many commercials._______________

Re: 2020 Indy 500 predictions
By short track speedskating rules, the Rossi and Sato pit line incident would have been ruled 'shared responsibility' with no penalty. Sato didn't go completely into the outer lane and Rossi didn't stay completely in the inner lane.
