As do I. X2!

I'm not 40 yet, however.

A very clean but a bit of a ragged start and a clean 1st lap. Dixon leads.

[fieldodreams79]

Power racing people hard early, for some reason. Oh right, it's Will Power.

Don't forget the Coke 600 at Charlotte. I may watch 100 miles of it...

Thank you very much!

Fred's first stop was uneventful. Good!

Howard appears to be out of fuel.

[bjohnsonsmith]

The first round off stops and Alonso's looked good.

Time stopped was relatively slow but he went up 2 stops. Must've been good in and out laps.

[skycafe]

Fernando into the lead! WOW.

[bjohnsonsmith]

Alonso takes the lead but it's still very early in the race but fantastic to see.

[Akrapovic]

Aye that Fernando kid ain't bad.

[AndreasDavour]

This is the first time I've ever seen an Indycar race. It's all about Alonso for me.

[Akrapovic]

Every car pitted a lap or two before Howard. Why are they surprised that he ran out of fuel? It's not like the others were pitting for the sake of it lol.

Even if indycar doesn't take your fancy, you should watch the 500. Its always worth a watch because it's such a big event. I love it every year.

[fieldodreams79]

Indy is bonkers awesome and should be watched by anyone who is a "motor racing fan".

Fred makes it more compelling. And he's back to the front!

[Akrapovic]

Rossi aggressively blocking sato. Sato being optimistic too. Bit odd this early in this race.

[jimclark]

NOT GOOD!!!

[Akrapovic]

Howard was a lap down right? Did he just take out Dixon? :-/

[BudLightJaguar]

Dixon's out! Not cool

[fieldodreams79]

Holy $hit!

[tux]

Horrendous accident, unreal that dixon just gets out and walks away like nothing happened

[gert]

Dixon is one lucky chap to be unhurt.

Red flag.

Yeah. Power was aggressive during the first 5 laps. Don't really get it, either but it seems it's a 500 mile sprint these days.
