By Patrick Stephan Here are some random post race notes, though I’ll probably have more thoughts in the morning after I’ve digested this one a little bit. I ran in to Ed Carpenter after the race and he said he just got trapped a lap down when he pitted early and then the Bourdais caution...

By Patrick Stephan Went outside to watch the start of the race simply because I miss the sound and smells from pit lane. The race got started with the ambient temperature at 72, the track at 87 and the humidity at 75%. Palou brings a nicely formed up field to green, and leads the first...

By Patrick Stephan Just a few notes before the green flag flies at 6:10CT/7:10ET (or 5:10 for my friends back home in the Mountain Time zone – everyone else adjust accordingly).

By Patrick Stephan The cars are heading back to pit lane, many being towed with their engines running to warm them up. I had gone out to the garage area about 1:05PM and noticed NTT INDYCAR officials putting their headset back on and starting to walk to their spots on pit lane, and that’s when...

By Patrick Stephan We’re still on hold here in the northwest DFW area. To be clear, it’s not raining. Heck it’s not even misting. But it remains very humid and there are a few damp spots on the track that are just being stubborn. As usual with INDYCAR, they will make practice a priority over...

By Patrick Stephan (@TSO_Patrick) Good morning race fans. I’ll start by saying how excited I am to be at the track. Thanks to the pandemic and travel schedules/restrictions I did 2 races in 2020 – both at Iowa Speedway – the fewest I’ve attended since 1996. Happy to note I’ll crush that in 2021. Steve...
