Indy Grand Prix

5-10 (-4.845) wish I could say I've been unlucky but the truth is I'm just putting in shit work. Fade me till further notice.

should be a Pagenaud or Power race but they'll be so short it won't be worth it. Kimball has run well here but is struggling so far and will be looking to fade him. Conversely, Newgarden hasn't run well here but is in good form and I'll be looking to back him. I'll be back when they have some numbers up and I'll also see what the weatherman is thinking.

Thanks Hugh, hope to get it turned around. Hope all is well.

Jones +115 Hildebrand...Hildebrand sucks on the twisties and that broken hand will get tested a little more not being on an oval. Jones has run four lights races here with an avg finish of 3.0. Should be a pick em at minimum and they have Jones to win at 55-1 and Hildebrand at 80-1. Whatever.

Helio +110 Hinch....while they seem to be passing each other in career trajectories, avg finish is still 3.7 v 11.7 and that's hard to overlook. Take away when Hinch caught debris and had to retire from the race and he's still a 7.5.

Dixon -120 Newgarden... love Josef but he's not there yet, especially here

Darkhorse is about Bourdais +1150 if you can say such when he's on a road course. Nice to see Montoya back and he will be driving angry to show Roger he made a mistake. You can bank on that.

Didn't get to watch any of the practice session but here's qualifying

doesnt sound like I missed anything major after reading and checking twitter. Maybe Dixon can ruin this Penske party but doubt it. I'm a little surprised the Jones/Hildebrand matchup isn't a little stronger now, so I'd still recommend that one. Almost pulled the trigger on a Chilton +100 Daly but I couldn't so looks like I'm holding with what I have. Cheers and GLTA

They have 36 of Foyts cars this year at Indy to honor him. This is the one from road America in 1990 when he broke up his legs and feet. He's just back from Mexico doing stem cell treatment. They'll never be one like him again, glad they're honoring him while we still have him

Warm up and weather is fine

not surprised, bet that was fun. He sure as hell brings a lot to the series. I remember when he had driven that car but had no idea about he and Mario. He certainly never gave up on life and I've always thought a lot of him myself. Guess that's a -115 either way lol??
