Starting Order:

 

[dara]

Picking Chase Elliott for the 600.

 

[big mac]

Rowdy for the W!!

 

[dara]

Rough start at Monaco, multiple crashes on the first lap, so waiting for a restart, maybe 6 cars already out.

Edit.. only 4, and restart was clean. Probably nothing will happen, some of the favorites are now hampered by tire choice.

 

[dara]

Homie Charles Leclerc wins Monaco, from the pole. Followed by Piastri and Sainz. Nice win by Leclerc, and Ferrari.

 

[dara]

Really cool seeing Prince Albert spraying champagne at the podium ceremony. Everyone wants to win Monaco, and he finally gets a win from a home town racer. Now, on to the race for the milk.

 

[dara]

Due to weather, delay for the start at Indy, may also delay Kyle Larson to Charlotte. I don't think NASCAR wait for him, unlike the All Star Race.


Edit.. projected start may be now at 4pm, so Larson might be forced to choose a race. The 'double' is probably out of the question.. at least for one done in a day.

 

[dara]

Indy500 started late, and on the first lap, a crash in the back.

nothing out there but Chevy and Honda

I see Larson holding his own , now in 8th spot

 

[dara]

Josef Newgarden wins Indy500, followed by Pato O'Ward and Scott Dixon That's back to back for Newgarden. Kyle Larson was as high as 6th place, but had a pit lane violation, finished 18th. (Actually was leading the race for a bit between pit stop cycles.)

 

[big mac]

Caution for rain on the track.

 

[dara]

Larson arrives, but the field is now delayed due to lightning in the area. At worse, he'll be at the back of the lead lap, but might be allowed to take over in 13th. They could make the race 'official', but I doubt it.

Larson doesn't get any points if he finishes the race.
That makes him a dick.

 

[Backup]

11:30 p.m.: The race is official and will not be resumed. Christopher Bell is the winner..........should have delayed i think, till tomorrow.....
