First wreck when?
lap 5
What turn 4?
Shit, Optic Gaming play their match in the Call of Duty World League at the same time the race starts
which one should I watch???
>No Sound
???
>watching video games
kys
>Call of Duty World League
>Not watching Bottom Split
great crowd here today folks.
yeppp this is the last pocono race
I hope not, I live 20 mins away but I feel ya.
>Everybody online complains about how Indycar needs more ovals
>Nobody actually goes to attend the fucking things
more streams
acesportz .usite .pro/331.html
sports24 .club/watch/ nascar-racing-nbcsn.html
Gateway gets good attendance because they actually promote the fucking race
I would think the tricky triangle would produce more seats but the crowd up here is much different than nascar.
>putting a starter on the engine
What a novel idea.
Whats the delay in case anyone dies?
indycar needs is more races, but that fat faggot milles is scared of reaching 20+ races
Does anyone have a SkySports stream? I dont like the ads
pagenaud
not sure but incidents in the past have appeared live, whether they replay it a bunch is a different story
any youtube or twitch stream with sound?
its getting windy here by the track. COuld make it exciting
The rally....
someone got a ticket, heard it on the scanner, orange lambo pulled over for racing up and down the street.
kek
Not even indy is safe from Rutledge
is there an acestream or the usual twitch/youtube?
hes also scared of the nfl that fuckin pussy
>cuckledge segment
why are the stands so empty? Is indycar not big in Poconoland?
yeah this race never had great attendance even though its a great race. that and the danger factor is why it might be getting replaced next year :(
it's a problem with ovals in general, you can have 70.000 people and stands will still look barely a 3rd full
non american stream:
soccerprediction. club/northland-vs-auckland/
ah nice it has sound now
Indy doesn't draw well at ovals, except for Indy.
Thanks user
now this is an old fashioned staredown if i ever saw one
Poconos is pretty much Nascar. Not a lot of money in this area and more hick lifestyle. Polo's and khakis are not common here.
/missmilwaukee/
it's actually 5 turns if you go by the way all other ovals count turns
carl edwards and bob osborne used to separate the track into 6 corners
This plus well more ovals in general pls
DAMN THAT WAS FAST
nice
not again please
nothing good ever happens here
Someone died in that.
wow didn't even last that long
oh shit, upside down and on fire, thats not good.
I hope everyone is okay
Rossi championship is over
BIG JUAN
wow
Good on Hunter Reay for checking on Sato
I saw them going three wide, and I thought naw, not this soon. good thing i'm not a betting man
for a moment i thought i just saw another guy getting pocono'd
It's like they want Rosenquist to die waiting
Wew hope everyone is ok that was nasty
Satos fault
He ded?
Rosenqvist almost got Wickens'd
based madman sato helping the championship
and that's a good thing
God damn it, Sato.
Sato should be parked for the rest of the season
Yeah I don't care if they don't come back here. Not worth it
They are all alive, good shit.
>Sato kamikaze-s Rossi
Based desu
>helping the championship
>wrecking the only guy keeping it competitive
>Kids Drive NASCAR
BANZAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking love cars getting tore up at Pocono. Only the strong survive.
fuark
I am a fan of Sato, but that was too ballsy
by that very logic they must eliminate the threat to life limb and property that is Indianapolis Motor Speedway
It's not the track it's the aggressiveness of the drivers. You can have similar level of accidents at Texas and Indy, and they aren't going to stop going there anytime soon
>you're cle-
>ooh
not sure how much was on sato and how much was dirty air, anyway if they never come back it's good riddance
fucking sato, red flag
was that a Trump Superman helmet for Ferrucci?
every year this happens here. can't remember something like this. not even IMS is like this anymore.
STOP RACING AT POCONO YOU FUCKS
IT'S NOT WORTH IT, FUCKING HELL
RIP Indycar at Pocono
Press F boys
>Rosenqvist's wheel tether failed
thank god they're getting a halo next year
How often do cars get in the catch fence at indy?
taku pls
wouldn't happen if they didn't fuck around going so slow and compressing before the green flag
>arr rook clear
>oh no i caused red frag
BAN ASSAULT OVALS NOW
not even texas has this many problems they it's a mile and a half, for some reason indycar has always had problems here
Sato WTF
I think they should keep Pocono in the schedule, but put a race 1 week before it so that everybody is not too rusty when they get here.
IMS is the biggest race in the world in front of hundreds of thousands of people and winning it changes your life. Pocono is in front of nobody and means nothing. Love the concept of the track and wish the cars were a good fit for it but come on
what exactly makes Pocono so dangerous? Indy races on multiple ovals throughout the year but it's always Pocono that is the most dangerous one
I hope they switch for Fontana
Well Sato is definitely turning back the clock because we’re getting younger/2012 Sato again recently
>but put a race 1 week before it so that everybody is not too rusty when they get here.
not a bad idea actually, swap dates with gateway and problem solved
Track is too wide.
It's going to be richmond
turn 1 promotes side by side shit into turn 2 which is a single file turn. combine that design with the green flag procedure which has them bunched up and people in the back going faster than those in the front, well...
it wasn't the tracks fault, it was Sato being a retard
Fucking hell
Rossi is seething
Rossi throwing serious shade at sato
figure ill watch the Indy race since Bristol was last night. never watch much Indy, 1 lap in and you got guys flying into the fence. this is pretty wild, you Indy bros seem alright. who do we root for /indy/?
based PT
>2 guys nearly dead on lap 4
>still 196 laps to go
Uh yeah he fucked up
Yeah because he almost killed 3 people
and rightly so
Simon.
Newgarden is going to win the championship unless Simon get shim.
fucking NBC. I couldn't hear Rossi over the sound of the replay. Turn down the replay volume, you fucks.
Ban assault Satos
2hrs to fix the fence
why doesn't indycar go to daytona? seems like a good combination
overall we all like pagenaud
Huge fan of Sato, but that was stupid. He should've known better considering he is a veteran
Over under 12 cars finish the race?
Pagenaud is good guy, also Sato is fun to root for because he is a total wildcard. Herta is cool too.
huge waste of time and money
Sato commiting sudoku today
12.5*
>NASCARs need restrictor plates and a massive horsepower decrease just to run Daytona safety
But they did test the motorcycle circuit years ago for IRL but as much as I wish it would happen I don’t think there’s anyway to make it safe enough for approval
are you chileanon from /turnleft/?
I think this video explains your question
youtube.com
Under.
ovals are over party
Race is a bust
GJ Pocono.
yup
It's a shame that so many good, competitive cars got taken out. Hopefully this doesn't fuck up the rest of the race
I think it's funny that a Japanese driver causes such a crash when they're usually mocked for leaving too much room and not being aggressive enough. Has Sato finally embraced 'murican culture?
Sato was the one who wanted to go three wide into turn 2 just now? if so hes definitely a wildcard or insane
>zip-tying up a piece of chain-link fence again
Sebastian Bourdais is screaming somewhere, i think i can hear it lads
>Hinch almost decapitated
this aero package for ovals these past 2 years sucks balls. It's the same thing that afflicts NASCAR, you can't pass once the field sorts out single file due to this undercarriage downforce design. So, you have to act like a stupid fuck on restarts to have a hope of gaining positions.
NASCAR's solution: reduce horsepower and add spoiler lol
Indy's solution: Eliminate ovals from the schedule lol
Sato has been a kamikaze madman for his entire F1 and IndyCar career where have you been
kek he definitely is
Sato has been insane since literally day one
Believe it or not he's actually been significantly more mellow this year than in years past
Sato has been a kamikaze disaster since day 1
Oh god, is it champ car all over again?
>Hopefully this doesn't fuck up the rest of the race
wouldn't blame them if they go single file for the rest of the race desu
There's a reason why ISC doesn't even want to purchase Pocono. Nobody wants to deal with this crapfest of a track.
Because all of the turns are modelled after different tracks, its hard to set a car up for Pocono.
toxic is such a dumb word it means fucking nothing
hi buddy

Just drive better and you won’t Crash

Holy shit they’re trying to get Rossi’s car back even with penalties

What the hell
this crash was caused by sato's car not handling properly?
>rosshit straight up cheating yet again
I feel bad for the poor lad who has to place that decal
THOUGHT I WAS ALL CREAR
Why they didn’t get rid of that rusty fence and bring a new one ?
hey bud
he can get in front of the cars that dnf and gain a couple of points
PARK SATO HES A FUCKING HAZARD
>low degree banking
>high speed corner entry
>challenging to set up for
im unsure about indy but nascar
>brake usage is heavy increasing the chance to have brake failure
Ya seething?
It'll spice up the race a bit at least
No, he thought he was clear.
lmao wtf is that pathetic spotter stand
How many races does Sato get suspended?
Why is there some much boomers reparing the fence?
"there's a lot of balls" - PT
I've been to Pocono irl for Nascar
It's such a shitty track. Concessions and vendors are literally just street food vendor shit,, seating is some of the most ghetto shit ever. There is absolutely nothing to do there besides watch the race. Also the location in Pennsylvania means you will rarely ever get co-operating weather.
It has to easily be one of the most poorly, underfunded "major" tracks to exist.
>t. Pennsylvaniafag
How long is this going to take?
guy in the blue car is lucky he stayed out of the fence, didnt a guy die from that?
yes Robert Wickens died but they replaced him with a General Dynamics robot of the same name and will attempt to race in 2021
I think Robert Wickens did not die, but he did get both of his legs pulverized.
Quite a few people died from that. Most recent catchfence casualty is Dan Wheldon
F
Rosenqvist is fucking dead
he walked away but is being transported to the hospital
remember when they let Felix sit there for like 10 minutes before checking? ol Ganassi is about to get a nice settlement
He fractured his spine
probably internal bleeding like Drew Bledsoe
Wow Dixon is an intelligent and reasonable guy
Let's get the race going.
Looking like an ez championship for Penske.
Wonder how they'll choke this time
>dude goes aggressive too early, cuts down in front of another car and causes a big one
daytona all over again
>Race officials asking Rossi "Bruh wtf you doing?"
kek
Hearing Sato is just getting a fine no suspension
Dixon is gonna steal it
Nothing to see here, Rossi's just stuffing some $100 bills in the official's pockets
thanks for saving my meme user ;)
>Marco jumps the start and has the brake just to avoid a penalty
Ahhhhh Marco I hope he never changes
some Alabama black snake in the private jet.
no green flag until rossi's car is fixed
Is this the same Rossi that couldn't make it in F1?
The races in previous years had no issue with IndyCar. If people want to argue that the track is too wide then why was no one complaining about California or Michigan?
Because back when they drove at Fontana and Michigan, we had competent drivers.
10 lap penalty kek
10 LAP PENALTY
POSSE BTFO
Cars are out. Rossi's fucked
everyone is simply overreacting and speaking emotionally and not logically right now.
It’s time to hang it up old man
>rollerskates behind you
>nothing personnel kid
wait what was power doing
Rossi why even race. There's nothing you can do
Man Will can’t catch a break this season
Countdown to another BIG JUAN begins.
If other cars wreck later in the race he will salvage a few points
he'll win today, like he did when he came from a lap back
So does Newgarden basically have this in the bag?
it's a 500 mile race, a lot can go wong
That would be a fitting end to this race
I’m kinda rooting for will at this point because damn it’s been a rough season for him so hopefully he gets something
Nascar activator....
nah bruh everything Newgarden thinks he has is Simon's property
auto closing tailgate on the new silverado.
Is that a onions truck now?
Crowd looks decent now
this is boring
why’d sato have to kamikaze the front runners lads arghh
Yes, remember when they made fun of Ford for having a step to get into the bed, then added their own version of it a few year later?
every company does it. remember when samsung mocked apple for removing the headphone jack?

THE ROOCH IS LOOSE
cawshun, willy p finally got some luck
Damn straight he did
hold the fuck up, did they just say Rossi is coming in with -49 laps down??
The comeback is on!
Hinch. Rossi hasn't finished repair yet
it seems dumb but he can pass other wrecked cars, such as pigot
might matter for the title in the end
I don't have a step for my bed, i literally climb up into the bed.
Will Paul Menard ever race Indy?
Is Pocono too dangerous for Indycar? Seems like Indycar is a bit of pussy feet.

I've always felt so bad for Paul Menard.
Here's this kid, worked his butt off his entire life, and can't get himself on a winning team like Hendricks.
Such a fucking shame because Gordon, Elliot, and Johnson only got themselves into racing because of daddy's money while Menard had to work his way up and still gets the short end of the stick.
W I L L Y P

You stupid fucking idiot. Paul Menard's dad is literally the richest man in Wisconsin. HIS FUCKING DAD OWNS ALL THE MENARDS STORES IN THE USA.
Paul Menard has won one fucking NASCAR race in his life in the over 10 years he's been racing. It was at Indianapolis and it was because he was on fuel strategy (Gordon was caching him).
PAUL MENARD FUCKING SUCKS
Don't ever post this stupid shit again
pagenaud is winning this shit
pagenaud has a rocket today
I've actually met Paul Menard before
I saw him at the Brickyard in 2011. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my pit road tour and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I decided to leave the pit road tour and go back to the grandstands to my seat for the race, Paul was attempting to sneak off of pit road with a 45 year old milf into the spectator's portopotty.
The guy scanning VIP passes was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, I believe you have a race soon.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear him, but eventually Paul pulled a couple $100 dollar bills out.
When he took the Milf's 3 VIP passes (the others being for Gordon and Ky. Busch) and started scanning his a second time, he stopped him a and told him to scan them each pass individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After he scanned each pass and gave them back to the milf and started to tell him to have a great race, he kept interrupting him by yawning really loudly.
Later I saw Paul Menard appear from a portopotty, sweatied, and running to his car to stand with his teammates for the National Anthem.
back to >>>/reddit/
for soinuindycar, yes
holy sheet sweetie, calm your panties down and change out that pad.
thanks for making me laugh today user.
The problem is that they have a nearly 1 month gap between this and the prior race. If they put a race in between that, maybe the drivers would be much smarter and less rusty
Shit you not, scoring pylon at the track is frozen on Lap 39
is indycar that more difficult that they cant just follow the nascar schedule? Why only 17 races?
Uhm, well guess what, sweaty?
It now has 3 NASCAR races per season so you're going to have to learn to love how shitty it is
Poconofag here, we go every year, love the race, love the track. Parking sucks because they don't cut the grass when its 90f and dry.
Can't gooch the rooch
Some dumb faggot at the top of the IndyCar hierarchy is afraid of having more races on the schedule for some reason.
20 is probably the ideal number. Nascar simply has too many races. no need to repeat any track
One thing I'll never understand is how CART managed to have 250+ mph oval racing and only 1 guy died in decades, while the IRL/IndyCar cant seem to go 2 years without a massive fucking crash.
That Fontana race with the DW12 a few years back is still the craziest, most insanely dangerous race I've ever seen. I think that's literally the only race that made Tony wonder why he was doing it, if no one's there to watch it.
I think the best amount of races on the NASCAR schedule would be 31 imo
>indyfags are to dumb to understand this
who the fuck allows so many bumps to be on the apex of the 200mph+ turn 2???
what the actual HECK
American cars are built to last (i.e. go over bumps) while European cars are meant for flat roads
*pickpockets another championship*
I kinda want santucci to win desu
>It now has 3 NASCAR
including trux and rexfinity, and newly acquired arca. That would be 6 races per season next year.
they're driving italian cars tho
>Herta
CAWSHUN, this could actually get very interesting with the rain coming
>Nascar simply has too many races
I love nascar but I actually agree with this. you have 29 "normal" season Nascar races, but then you have to add 10 extra races for the playoffs.
Just the fact that next week is a week off is a breath of fresh air. They really need to constrain the races to about 20 - 25 races or so. 39 races is ridiculous.
yay
>Herta
:(
oh cool just allow another super slow crashed car back on track. Hinch didn't cause enough problems I guess
These are built in indianapolis
hinch is pulling out lol
they only approached 240 once and it literally killed the series, see Texas 2001
Instead of putting safer barriers on the walls around the track, why not put them on the side of the cars?
Herta was running really well you dink
fuckin storm is still 100 miles away....
These guys can't race smart. If you have a series with less aggressive drivers (basically what Ryan Hunter Reay said), then racing here is no problem. But you have a handful of great drivers, then a tier of dangerous shitters below them.
not talking about herta dumbass
god i wish greenlight made a diecast of rossi's patched car
youre the dumbass loser
ROSSI COMING IN
COMEBACK OF THE CENTURY HAPPENING
Why u gotta be so rude :(
comeback to the garage after he wrecks again
Whats he at? like -79 laps? kek
-89 actually
That was just because it was Texas, they had no issues with the gentler curves at Fontana.
And you better believe they were over 250 there, shit they could do it in qualifying
>serrucho fetuccini p2

pinball back to his old tricks
Rain will be red flagged for lightning, then it will be called for rain
>marco is the only car a lap down
remember, they will call the race if there's lightning within a 10 mile radius of the track
someone actually got struck by lightning at pocono some years ago.
not watching this shit
>Pocono has not only killed drivers, but spectators too

thats pretty based to me

Can see lightning from the stands right now
how does the air feels?

>commercial pass for the lead
gotta love it
Cool, no breeze, humid
I wish they'd at least do a PnP replay of it.
Closest strike: 16.55 miles
but did he forget the heat?
When is the next race?
>inb4 a car flips over and explodes
good ol pocono summer
next saturday
GG race
and yellow for conditions
we done
2 deaths in the 50s. ALso, Las Vegas had some guys black out during the turns.
I could possibly see it happening again for testing though. Rumors are that some people high up say it could be done with new safety stuff.
However, if they black out into every turn it could be physically impossible.
Cool, is it Gateway?
LIGHTNING CAWSHUN
this could be it
Time for football. Race over.
ya
>red flag
FUCK
ITS FUCKING OVER
rossi still behind pigot, shame
>Red flag even though its not raining at all and the storm is still 20 miles away
I hate this semen slurping soi sport
so 30 minute red flag?
based retard
Good
based
its because of lightning. They don't fuck around with lightning at pocono anymore since someone got killed by being struck by lightning.
Pretty spot on. Indycar has really relaly good talent for the top 8 or so and the rest are just trash.
F1 on the other hand has VER and VET and the rest or atleast decent and safe. No competition and boring races but safe.
Indycar has just shitters filling up the mid to back field.
>grosjean
>safe
30 minutes from the most recent strike and sunset is in ~2.5 hours. I don't think this one's getting restarted.
F to anyone leaving and heading back to jersey.
Lmao reddit seething over Ferruci
VER safe
Good goy Santino.
Rosenquist out of the hospital. Check, cleared, released.
Thank god rosenqvist is ok. Imagine if we lost 2 rookies of the year 2 years in a row at pocono
Waste of time, waste of money.
fuck Pocono
crash webm/video?
>those clouds
Yep, this race is done.
You keep saying this but how is that different than any other race
How is that pro-Trump?
waste of air, waste of fat
fuck you
There's a superman trump under the video bar
How many point would Power win if they stop now, with 72 laps left ?
makes me like him even more
>muh racism
>i am a huge pussy and cant handle banter so i hate ferrucci
How long until sunset?
Full points if the race is more than halfway over, which it is
full points, race is official
2 hours. If it rains they won't be able to get the track dry before then

Yeah this race fucking sucked. Swedish meatball got hurt, and nobody could pass.
>Swedish meatball got hurt
hes fine and cleared to drive though?
Okay, so Pocono is pretty much out of the schedule from next year on after the deaths, the injuries, the weather concerns and the dwindling attendance.
What track should take its place?
tl;dr the indy car drivers are too dumb for pocono
watkins glen
attendance looked pretty good today after the race actually got started
Michigan
its already pretty much decided that it will be richmond
beyondtheflag.com
Shits heating up
for me its still seabass
I had a dream last night. Colton and Seabass at McLaren.
He said he was disappointed by his season recently in the french paper, not sure if that means that he would leave DC & V.
He should do it, though.
>arr rook clear
>*crashes*
>oh no rossi drove into my reft side he's to brame
why are japs so despicable
he isn't wrong though. Rossi did move to the right. Sato did most of the moving of course.
it was mainly sato's fault but everyone is guilty for going berserk on turn 2 lap 1 on a 500 mile race
McLaren should hire Helio and Ferucci
Helio would be an interesting pick to win the fans over if they give Hinch the boot
I was at the race and have some impressions
>literally more people are fans of Matheus Leist than Marco Andretti, even at Pocono
>Takuma definitely fucked up but 90% of the field would've/could've done a stupid move like that
>Rossi fans and even more insufferable and annoying than Alonso fans
>Seabass, Ed Carpenter and Felix are pretty based
I want to watch a oval race, unfortunately the closest one is probably Des Moines.
Rossi acting like he wouldnt pull that move is a joke. Him keeping his nose in there when RHR and Taku had a run on both sides of him was pretty aggressive and dangerous as well
sato drove straight
>Rossi fans and even more insufferable and annoying than Alonso fans
cunt drivers attract the cunt fans
crash course will be banned soon so enjoy it now
