Good point, He is only one that needs to run again, and if he can do it without leaving time for a Rahal run, that would be clutch.

And Peacock now has commercials for this broadcast.

I think they need to go a bit early to get some cushion to wave off and try but can't push it too early

Good point on TV, let Harvey go earlier to let Graham get an attempt if they beat Sting Ray

Lundgaard no chance, Sting likely no. Think it's Harvey and Rahal on the track now only

God those old cars were so ungainly looking after growing up with 80s and 90s cars. But that old radio and TV call, just makes me think post Memorial Day parade hearing the call on the radio at the park. All I could eat crappy hot dogs and Acme soft drinks.

Yup, that's the brand Acme from NJ. Used to be able to build your own 24 packs from pallets of cola, diet, root beer, birch beer, ginger ale, orange, grape and think a couple others.

Sounds like they won’t wait till the very end because it is the team mate that loses out.

He still failed to qualify.

Looks like Harvey is getting ready, pulled the fans in the ducting and he's rolling

He's rolling for better airflow, seems reasonable and better than a couple little shop blowers in the better sidepods

But he was decently faster showing how far off the car was and how spread they were then

Would be nice if these guys were able to throw on a new set of tires and try again, but have to stay with the used tires

And seems like Bobby is letting the teams fight amongst themselves without team orders

Nice.

And fun that he can do this, but anyone else does it and they simply lose their time!

Good on them.

broadrun96 · 21 May 2023, 20:50 (Ref:4157293)

Who needs tire ovens when you have nerds worried about the shadow from the TV guy on the tires? Indy TV and radio guys do have excellent relationships with team and race staff

Need the 30 crew to fix my front left spring that quick. Sadly I do need to actually get my front left swapped but needs a vacuum and nitrogen fill for the system

broadrun96 · 21 May 2023, 20:53 (Ref:4157295)

I hope there is an extra old brick lying around, the guys need to get TK a brick instead of a rocking chair for retirement

broadrun96 · 21 May 2023, 20:55 (Ref:4157296)

30 going with now 10 minutes left gives Graham a chance to respond but no chance for Sting Ray

**Adam43** · 21 May 2023, 20:58 (Ref:4157298)

Pants lap! Not there.

broadrun96 · 21 May 2023, 20:58 (Ref:4157299)

Nope, Harvey's done. And possibly out of a seat before the end of the year if he doesn't get better the rest of the season

broadrun96 · 21 May 2023, 20:59 (Ref:4157300)

If he can maintain plus a touch there is still a chance

Out by 2 tenths, no chance to cool and run again

**bjohnsonsmith** · 21 May 2023, 21:00 (Ref:4157301)

Jack Harvey didn't make it. Can he do it this time?

**Adam43** · 21 May 2023, 21:02 (Ref:4157302)

Shame, I was hoping to see Rahal go for it. I thought these sports were meant to be fixed to make it more exciting.

**Adam43** · 21 May 2023, 21:03 (Ref:4157303)

OMG, They are going again.

Anyway. Stingy is in! The dream is still on.

Well he was 235 over 234 last time out first lap at T1

Bobby knows the car ain't gonna do it shaking his head, guessing he knows the telemetry isn't looking good

**Adam43** · 21 May 2023, 21:07 (Ref:4157308)

He beat that, but it surely isn’t on.

broadrun96 · 21 May 2023, 21:08 (Ref:4157309)

Uh oh, it's getting closer and closer to Graham on TV
