Same damn thing happened to me. I should have scrolled the program guide FIRST and noticed they were showing (tape delay) at 5PM Eastern todat. Undortunately, I ruined it for myself by going to IndyCar.com first.

BTW...Marco.....you screwed up major again. Let your tech call the tire strategy!!!! You lost like 40 secs in the last 6 - 7 laps because you wanted slicks. NOT slick, slick.

Viso had a good run going today and Rahal...you da' man...a 2nd on a dry setup car. That's all you brother....NICE.

Approx 50 cars may try to qualify for Indy. Will probably be closer to 40 but now bump day will mean something again.

Cool quote from Marco Andretti on qualifying on the last run of bump day:

"It was either going to be into the wall or into the show..."
Too bad for his teammate Hunter Rae...

Yeah, another three minutes and Ryan would have had a shot to get back in.If that jerk, James Jakes, hadn't gone back in line with no chance, only to try to block Marco for his teammate who was about to get bumped, there would have been time.

It was very cool tho to see Marco go out in a do or die situation and put his car solidly in the field. Man showed he was an Andretti.
