So four laps at any speed will make the show?

I'm good with the penalties except the points. Power should be livid. His car had passed inspection but Cindric pulled it back and pointed out that it had the infraction. How did he know this in the first place and what has this got to do with a driver earning points? "When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas" comes to mind but I can't help feeling he was unjustly harmed.

Agree on all points. Quite a bit of net is up in arms about Abel not being allowed to start.

I wonder how Honda feels about this considering their questions about remaining in the series and Penske is a Chevy team. Who knows they all may become Chevy teams
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Wild how this series can't get out of its own way.

With the push to pass controversy, it is obvious that Team Penske was cheating. You don't "accidently" modify a part no other team is modifying. I'm just surprised nobody noticed sooner, since it was right out there in the open.

Bingo. While I agree with Colton Herta that this is not nearly as bad as the push-to-pass fiasco but now it's a pattern. This was the least they could do. Cindric is the most recognizable name so he HAD to go. He isn't head of day to day any more but it looks good to the public that he got the ax.

I had it on as I slept (i'm working graveyard).
I occasionally woke up and watched... I guess i just don't like the freight train zig zag crap lap after lap.

These cars race terrible at Indy. They can't pass, never mind that they are all nearly identical which doesn't help at all. The only opportunity to get an advantage was restarts and pit stops. Which was when most of the incident occurred.

As long as we have BiF, we'll have those mem'ries. As for the race, sheesh you street race looosers. I thought it was grate. Don't you know that the whole idea of an oval is car-nage? Front runner crashes out on the warm up. Ditto legacy driver. Ditto double dude only later. GOAT has brake problems, loses 3 laps. Fan fave nearly incinerates himself and crew. Wunderkind succeeds in taking out half his crew. Three different strategies meant you couldn't tell the players without a score card. Winning the race by drafting on back markers. Second place says, "I didn't think he (the winner) would go for it?" Say what? It kept me awake, that's for sure.
Indianapolis 500 finishing order shaken up by late penalties with suspensions handed out
https://racingnews365.com/indianapolis-500-finishing-order-shaken-up-by-late-penalties
Three cars from the Indy 500 have failed their post-race inspections and have been sent to the bottom of the classifications, including second-place finisher Marcus Ericsson.
The Swedish driver (car no. 28) and Andretti team-mate Kyle Kirkwood (no. 27) were found guilty of technical violations along with PREMA Racing's Callum Illot.

I was ok with the different strategies playing out, since the strategy is about the only thing the teams can directly control these days. But WTF happened with Rossi in the pits? We went from small gearbox issue to driver and half of crew almost getting flambe'd. They got supremely lucky that the fire did not go up the fuel hose into the tank, or we would have had Memorial Day fireworks a day early. I can't wait for this week's episode of Off Track. There may be some spiciness here.
I thought that Hinch, Bell and Buxton did a nice job. However, Fox had more than a few hiccups during the race. There were entirely too many commercials. They completely missed Siegel's wreck, failing to even note that he was out of the car. And they let Danica on the air wearing that awful striped one-shoulder shirt.
