Remark of the working day

IndyCar experienced luck on their facet in Sunday’s thrilling Texas 375, claims Leroy:

I imagine a great deal of situation assisted out. Rosenqvist’s crash on lap 172 authorized the sweepers to arrive in a crystal clear off all the marbles, which experienced prevented two-lane operating. It also authorized the discipline to capture up to O’Ward and Newgarden who experienced lapped the whole discipline at that place.

If it was not for that crash, it likely would not have been as fantastic a race at the conclude. Leroy (@G-funk)
