Unfortunately looking like Opening Day will be rained out once again. Would expect a crazy amount of race setup running on Wednesday and Thursday to make up for it before Fast Friday.

Looked like there would be weather on Saturday earlier in the week, should be clear now. I’ve come to enjoy this one as an opener for the 500 festivities.

Back-to-back Sprint weekends, apparently. McLaren brought essentially a B-spec car for Norris.

I think the 2024 thread probably ran its course. Turns out there is, sort of. Rumors are that Jody and Tad Geschickter may be taking their Kroger sponsorship program and joining the JGR ownership group. That would leave only Daugherty and Gordon Smith with equity in the team. And at that...

Nothing unusual in FP1, Red Bull 1-2 and Sargeant crashing again. Not gonna be able to participate in FP2 while the chassis is repaired. Also cracked the gearbox.

This race is actually called the $1M Challenge, but in typical mystifying IndyCar fashion it actually is $500k to win. Qualifying tonight 8 PM ET/Peacock, field split into two groups. Two heats and the “feature” race tomorrow at 12:30 PM/NBC. Fortunately it sounds like 10-lap segments should...

Three practices Thursday, qualifying Friday afternoon, green flag early at 9:40 AM ET Saturday (I think this is the earliest start time in event history). https://spotterguides.com/portfolio/24_imsa/ TV coverage on USA picks up at 4 PM and carries through the race finish.

Indy NXT race on Sunday at 10 AM as well; hugely rejuvenated field for that series is up to 21 cars.

First two races are on Saturday due to Ramadan beginning next Sunday. Anyone gonna be able to qualify within two tenths of Verstappen? I doubt it.

Still rainy at Daytona so may as well put this up. One of the top 5 sports car races in the world, imo. Slowly but surely getting its juice back post-COVID.

Five full practices across Friday and Saturday at the Roar this weekend, qualifying Sunday on Peacock. Final grid breakdown is 10 GTP / 13 LMP2 / 13 GTD Pro / 23 GTD https://www.motorsport.com/imsa/news/full-2024-rolex-24-at-daytona-entry-list/10546862/ Also a pair of VP Challenge (LMP3/GT4)...

Kinda sounds like Richmond has been put on notice.

Final 27 laps, hell of a finish.

All the teams procrastinated on the rookie practice requirement so over half the grid in FP1 will be rookies. Biggest fights left are for 2nd (Mercedes/Ferrari) and 4th (McLaren/Aston) in the WCC and 4th-7th in the WDC.

Lots of driver announcements are rolling out today ahead of the series releasing the Rolex 24 entries tomorrow. Notably, the new Pratt Miller Corvettes are retaining the old factory yellow livery with some black accents via Oshkosh.

Ferrari locked out the front row, Max P3, Ricciardo with a shock P4 for AlphaTauri, Norris back in P18. Aston Martin have also been pretty slow all weekend.

Seems like there could be potential for a fresh winner this weekend as Verstappen went 3rd and 8th in the first two practices, Perez 7th in both as the Red Bulls struggled with balance. They were a bit better in long run pace compared to one-lap speed, but still not tops overall. Ferrari were...

Alex Palou can become the first driver to clinch a post-merger IndyCar title before the season finale. The last to do so were Dan Wheldon in 2005 (IRL IndyCar) and Sebastien Bourdais in 2007 (Champ Car).
