Asked by @By_NathanBrown about why Saturday's qualifying results weren't changed, Doug Boles says: "It was a safety violation. If you ask most in the paddock…this had a 0.0 mph impact on the car." Says he feels "very comfortable" the fastest cars are in the field.

Doug Boles, asked by @marshallpruett about Newgarden's car in the IMS museum that also has the modified attenuator on it: "It won the Indianapolis 500." Pruett asked if any results could be changed from last year due to this revelation: "No sir, it won the Indianapolis 500."

Sorry I know there's some other stuff happening in IndyCar today, but I do have a 12 Questions interview with the champ and points leader @AlexPalou here! https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6362056/2025/05/21/alex-palou-indy-500-indycar-champion-12-questions/

Stunning news from Team Penske, which effectively parts ways with its entire IndyCar team leadership (president, managing director and GM). Roger Penske says "nothing is more important than the integrity of our sport and our race teams."

After voting in the HOF, I flew into Chicago before driving back down to Indy. Figured I’d swing by Chicagoland Speedway and see how it was doing, but of course had the bad luck to catch a super foggy day.

A lot of the replies to my NASCAR Hall of Fame vote were asking why Burton over anyone else. I’ll explain my reasoning here and what I made of the feel in the room today: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6371048/2025/05/20/nascar-hall-of-fame-2026-kurt-busch-jeff-burton-harry-gant

Whoa, major Indy 500 development as Newgarden and Power are sent to the rear as the result of their technical violations.

Was the All-Star Race a good race?

Gotta disagree with Logano that Bell did anything wrong because I sure felt like Logano ran Bell up high first. No? Didn't he open the door to the same thing happening to him? I need to see a replay I guess.

18 lead changes in an All-Star Race, folks. 18.

That's an actual All-Star performance, what Christopher Bell did there. I'd like to know why Logano stayed out, but Bell went up there and got it and deserved to win.

submitted 4 days ago • 0 comments

Remember that Bell wants to change the reputation of Cup Series racing for the lead, so you know he was trying to do that as fairly and cleanly as possible. Deserves credit for that IMO. That's actual racing.

Joey Logano has 41-lap older tires. Is he simply the best defender out there? Seems to do it better than anyone.

Rookie Robert Shwartzman said he’d let himself think about what winning the #Indy500 pole would be like and then told himself “Robert, get back to reality.” How’s this for reality?

Rookie Jacob Abel can't go fast enough to bump his Dale Coyne Racing teammate Rinus VeeKay and he misses the Indy 500. High drama in the final minute. VeeKay in, Abel out.

Over in Indy, Rinus VeeKay pulled his time to make a better run, and now he's gone WAY slower and is at risk of being bumped out of the Indy 500. His teammate Jacob Abel is going to have a chance to knock him out with TWO minutes left!

Robert Shwartzman, the former F1 hopeful, continues to astound in his first oval start of any kind. He just launched himself into the Fast Six. For a brand new team, too (Prema). Insane.
