David, many others have told you this on Twitter but man, without your videos I wouldn’t be watching Indycar, IMSA or F1. Thanks for the great motorsports content. Easily the best on youtube!
There on and I watch them all. All three worth the time. NASCAR( other than mods a waste. WOO well worth it too. But little video or time on them. Race on!!
Indycar growth and love is real. I’m one of those new fans. But really, with these cars, these speeds, on a crazy variety of tracks, and the ultra competitive nature how could it not being continually gaining new fans.
After this, you'll be ruined for any of those other sports. Like you know, the one with the stick and the ball, or the one with the funny ball with pointy ends. I forget what they are called--I never watch them. Too boring.
@@mitchellmortenson2481 Yeah! I was like, "What?! He's a lap down!" From the way they were talking, I thought that Rossi got back on the lead lap and I just didn't notice. But, no, he was still a lap down. But, I'll give the announcers a break. There was a lot going on in that last lap, and I know that commentary is hard, which is exactly why I'm not a commentator :) .
It really was! I took my wife and kids (two boys, ages 3 and 5) down to St. Louis for the weekend with Gateway being our main reason for going. It was my first time at that track, but man I'm pretty sure it'll be an annual event for us from now on! What a fantastic venue!
Man Newgarden is crumbling like a cookie. Those are rookie mistakes he's made at mid-ohio and gateway. He's lucky he's a good qualifier because track postion will be vital at Portland and Laguna seca. Props to Sato to shake all that bullstuff everyone was saying about him. I loved what Mario said "Pocono ain't for sissies".
IndyCar is going to have to do something about the endless laps under yellow. Ericsson on lap 1 or 2 went onto the grass, had no damage other than some grass on his wing, made it back to the pits. IndyCar put out a yellow which lasted 10 laps. They didn't need to even put out a yellow, there was no car damage or debris on the track. And that was only one of many unnecessary and endless yellow. I'm beginning to believe its done so NBC can run more ads.
During every caution the track was swept so they could have a chance for a second groove during restarts. The tires were degrading at a high rate leaving rubber all over the higher part of the track, so maybe blame Firestone for bringing high deg tires to an oval
@@lotus95t no but lots of dirt and grass on the track, also pits are not open on first lap of caution so thats two laps possibly 3 for cars to cycle through the pits. I would almost bet they swept the high line then too. Power had been pleading with drivers Friday to run up high to work in a groove but he seemed to be the only driver willing to try in practice. So IndyCar was doing their part to keep the high line clean and make it a good show
Nice to see someone five ferrucci credit on his oval racing and overall race skill and his maturity growth since the f1 bs, Its gotta be hard to be so young in a high pressure f1 environment so i hope he keeps growing and showing what he can do.
me too mate. I guess you have to take the bad luck with the good.....its a shame though that it seems like 90% of the time if Dixie doesn't get a great result, it's because he gets taken out or has car trouble! For him to win now, he's not only going to need two fantastic results, but he'll need his competitors to have bad races....which doesn't look likely considering how consistent the others have been also. Been a good season for Scott regardless.....and ones things for sure.....he'll be in the title race again next year! Enjoy the last couple bro.
I agree. Let's face it though, if he was driving for Penske we would be complaining that he wins everything. He is carrying that team. Chip is nowhere without Scott.
Proud St. Louis boy here. Seeing a facility that was supposed to be abandoned thriving with great racing puts a smile on my race. First time I've ever seen the stands in turn 2 used for seats!
I was working t-4 in Portland last year and yes that crash left quite the dust cloud. I got a good amount of carbon after the race and Rossi's autograph too! . Turn assignments just came in for this weekend and it looks like I'll be yellow flagging from t-12. Go Rossi!..
Honestly, if short oval racing is going to produce good races, why not add more? Richmond, Homestead would be great additions, since apparently we don't want to keep Pocono or Auto Club
James Lee Homestead would be a good preseason test venue for IndyCar. For a race, hmmmmm. I don’t know if it produce an exciting race. They should stop going to Sebring and instead the oval at Homestead for a few days and then the Road Course layout there as well.
@@CoSmicGoesRacing I think it could produce a solid race, not a huge barn burner but certainly a good show. It would have to be a late season race though, with NASCAR moving Homestead to March and all. Though the preseason test is a good idea for Homestead, build some hype for it.
James Lee Homestead was once a preseason test venue for both IndyCar and Indy Lights. And if Homestead does become the season finale, it won’t be the first time. The last time IndyCar raced there, it was the last race of the season.
Peters6221 we need a race weekend for both IndyCar and Indy Lights at the oval as well as maybe GT or Miata races on the road course. All at Homestead.
Homestead & Richmond were always great races...so many ovals are overlooked because "all you do is turn left!" I really picked up on IRL back around 2000 when ALL they raced was ovals...just DAMN!!! every weekend was like this past weekend.
Tony Kanaan took the air off of Daly's wing a few times, then he did it again to Carpenter a few times before finally blocking Ferucci. None of it was illegal, I was just slightly annoyed that it hurt Daly and Carpenter's chances of winning.
Great race and an ironic winner. Don't if it was karma or something else but to see Sato in victory lane after the week he had was something else. As for Ferrucci not much else can be said that hasn't been said already. Looks like a natural on ovals and I have to think a victory on an oval for him isn't far away. Newgarden isn't making it easy on himself to win this championship either.
I was unsure if I was watching a race from 2019 or 2010 with Carpenter and Kanan running up front and finishing in podium positions! Glad to see them get a break after a tough season for both
I predict that 20 years from now people will be speaking of "Santino Ferucci" in the same way they speak of "Mario Andretti", today. The kid's a Charger! He only wants to get to the front as soon as possible. Put him on a top ranked team like Penske or Andretti and he will eventually Dominate the series! Great Race! Indy car definitely needs more short oval races. Thanks Dave. Keep up the great work.
(***disclaimer***Team Penske--Newgarden specifically fan here) after watching the Ferucci/Newgarden incident on the last lap, I cannot find a whole lot to complain about with Ferucci. I saw Ferucci get pushed into the marbles...his car was, in essence, out of control; it didn't look like he thought "hey, here comes Newgarden, I think i will chop block him to see how that works out for him"...just more of unfortunate timing that Newgarden was RIGHT there as Ferucci tried to regain control of his car.
@@DavidLand91 Hey David write letter IndyCar if they could have a non racing event at Pocono like a fan fest or they could still sell their sovuneers at Pocono
Fantastic race David! On a relatively flat short oval. Like Milwaukee. Why I love the ovals. Was at Texas. Think a Sat night race after Indy with a good promoter draw a good crowd at Milwaukee if series would ever consider return? Wishful thinking I know! Champ car had 2 night races at MKE in 2003-04. Had good crowds. Was there. Need some more ovals.
one thing i did not like was how PT and TB are fine with aggressiveness as long as rossi, hinch, ferrucci, etc does it, but they loose their shit when sato does it (and TB out of all people criticising that)
Yeah I noticed that too. It seems they are always rooting against Sato at every race. Paul Tracey even blamed Sato for running over his pit equipment in a fit of rage. Of course it wasn't true but that didn't stop Tracey from trying to cast shade on Sato. This needs to stop. I'm tired of all the bias against Sato and even racist comments by some IndyCar fans.
Indy cars need to promote drivers, technology or mad scramble for the Championship..They don't even get an honorable mention on any sports show..Offer somebody up for network interviews to describe racing and it's excitement..Something is better than nothing and right now they promote ZILCH !!!
Sato with the w after an amazing finish. ECR is moving up the field. Now RLLR just needs to give Sato and Rahal the same equipment for them to stay relevant
sorry, but that's bullshit. The majority still sit with Sato being at fault. He's a danger on the track..an awful driver who takes unnecessary risks. I think everyone knows why IndyCar and various other pc types don't have the guts to stick it to Sato......if they did, they'd be called out for being racists of course. Sato's reckless history speaks for itself...many on the first lap most notably at the Indy 500 in 2015. Funnily enough, he didn't has the balls to admit to his mistake then either....what a surprise. Enjoy the last two races!
@@langsfordmusicltd283 It's actually not like that at all. All the PC bull***tters are busy laying into Pocono Raceway for a crash that wasn't really its fault (but the chicken wire man...). You are actually the first person to think Sato being Japanese even has anything to do with this. Also, BREAKING NEWS! RACING DRIVERS TAKE RISKS! Big deal, we just saw the same 5 guys who were caught up in last week's Pocono wreck going 4 wide into T1 on a one-groove track. Racing drivers do risky things all the time, and Sato's balls are, funnily enough, his biggest asset. Combined with his undeniable amount of driver skill (you don't win an Indy 500 purely on luck), he has the courage to take risks no one else will. There is a reason why his motto is 'No Attack, No Chance'. If you don't go for a gap, you no longer have any right to call yourself a racing driver (gee I wonder who said that...oh yeah the same dude who blatantly took out Prost to win a title). Jaime Whincup in V8 Supercars lost a 4th place finish because he made a mistake this weekend. When asked if he regretted the decision, he said "If you're not here to take risks, you should be in the stands".
He tried going 3 wide into turn 2, that's a horrible move in any series, especially going 230+ mph. Even though he didn't directly turn down on Rossi, he shouldn't have been there in the first place
@@__boomer2__ Rossi was the one in the middle with nothing really to gain and a championship on the line. Sato is out there solely to win. They'd have likely sorted it out if Rossi didn't turn up into Sato, or if Rossi had made the sensible, champion's move and backed out.
Great point about the tire degradation. I'd imagine they do it so the tires wear faster so that they need more pit stops to manufacture more lead changes and drama. Not a fan of that thinking if it is the case.
These short ovals are really growing on me. Makes you think Indy could do well adding a few more to the schedule if it wanted to balance the oval v. road split. If you get the excitement of oval racing but less likelihood of spending a year watching insta videos of one of your favorite drivers learning to walk again, I think its a win-win.
DL, you hit on two points on which I’d like for you to pontificate: 1) why has Dale Coyne not locked up Ferrucci long term and 2) why has Connor Daly not landed a full time ride? Go!
Being a Colts fan too when Andrew Luck retired I felt like Batman when his parents died. I hope those that booed him now understand why. Don't be surprised we still make the playoffs with all that talent. If not the Pacers are gonna be good especially with a healthy Oladipo
Wow David Land I did not realize that a Foyt car hasn't been on the podium on an Oval since Kansas 2002 i was at that race Airton Dare won that day I was 9 at the time
Damn I missed it but was watching the Dirt Million on dirt on dirt. I’ve got to say dirt late models is where it’s at right, however Indycar is definitely up and coming. Besides dirt late models, Indycar is the by far much better than NASCAR.
Does IndyCar ever treat the racing surface i.e. NASCAR?The name of the product escapes me,but it's used to increase grip.It was a great race and living 2 hrs from Loudon I would love to see IndyCar give that track another go.Good episode David,and I wanted to say I was real impressed with the crowd.🏁
Also. It is interesting to watch Newgarden feel like he needs to teach Santino and publicly whine about him on TV, yet a few weeks ago even he, the “teacher” is trying to squeeze by RHR on the last lap and even made contact with RHR. So he’s not even a rookie and making HUGE mistakes all on his own, yet he goes and whines about Santino. He’s also lucky he didn’t cause RHRs car any damage, but that was completely uncalled for and there is NO way he was going to make that pass. This is only one of many stupid mistakes Josef has made (and not as a rookie).
please explain how Carpenter, Sato and Kanaan cycled to the front. I didn't notice the scoring showed the rest of the field a lap down at the time of the last caution.
I don't think the tires were that bad. The top would have had sufficient rubber down if more ppl ran up there. We don't want perfect sticky tires. Harder/worn tires let the drivers showcase their talents.
Ferrucci may not only take rookie of the year but also best seb in the standings. Where was this level of performance in f2 and f3? I wonder if a more durable tire could possibly hurt racing despite reducing marbles. Something for firestone to test for sure. I just wouldnt want to see everyone stuck in position and fresh tires not doing enough to warrant rolling the dice for an undercut pit stop
More of David endlessly praising Santucci, what else is new? Tbf Santucci's redemption has been unbelieveable, and I wouldn't be surprised if he got rookie of the year.
In the replay it looks like TK moves his car before Santino does both times. Idk how people can praise Pags at Indy for breaking the draft, but turn around and say TK was an egregious block.
Maybe even a Coyne 1-2. I'd say they were fine on fuel with some fuel saving but not to the extent Rossi needed at all. Wouldn't have had the crazy yellow as those drivers would have pitted under green.
Dude Josef Newgarden could have been probably about 16-20 points ahead of where he is in the points. Mid Ohio was his fault, Gateway not really but still kind of. He is still in good shape but he could have looked unbeatable
Very entertaining but when races are won on luck due to yellows and when you happen to get in the pits, to me, those aren’t “the best” races. I hate that stuff, which is why I’m not a huge fan of short ovals. The dominant and best drivers didn’t win. That’s my opinion though.
Ferrucci is fighting for rookie of the year. Newgarden bitching about a last turn incident is idiotic. Both are fighting for a big prize. Newgarden has made it. Ferrucci is trying to make it. Newgarden is an crybaby
I think of newgarden as becoming the Hamilton of indy gonna keep winning and be at the top but also being a crybaby and a rat like lewis. That's why I m a fan of santino and red bull in f1 I want those bigger than life guys to fall.
Lmao he’s fighting for the championship and trying to extend, and then a guy who just comes down is just dangerous with newgarden coming that fast he’s not a crybaby now he’s starting do dominate and now u guys are hating because your tired of him dominating I’m not even a Hamilton fan
David, You and the American fans need to move away from focusing on the spectacular driving styles of some of the drivers. It means nothing, unless indycar are going to award points for the most spectacular outside pass or the best save of the race. You than go on to say, if this or that was to have happened, Ferrucci would have won. That's not how life works. Ferrucci did not win, hence way you are talking about his driving style, instead of a win. Let the kid win a race first, and than complement him on his abilities. Rossi is going to be quickly known as the guy who is spectacular, but yet to win an Indycar championship. You American fans have talked up Rossi as the next best thing based on his driving style. Now he is looking like he is going to crack under pressure, for the second year in a row. Being spectacular behind the wheel does not seem to deliver you an Indycar championship.
At least its entertaining and big business aka mercades money dont win championships here, ballsy drivers do ,this guys gonna talk about American series while all you here is how can we make f1 competitive and interesting again it's really in a bad place. Obviously true cuz your watching us.

Spyke0511 1 and end on gateway for this matter.
That intro was great!
Great point about the tire degradation. I'd imagine they do it so the tires wear faster so that they need more pit stops to manufacture more lead changes and drama. Not a fan of that thinking if it is the case.
I nearly had a heart attack when Ferrucci went low and Bourdais was coming towards him
These short ovals are really growing on me. Makes you think Indy could do well adding a few more to the schedule if it wanted to balance the oval v. road split. If you get the excitement of oval racing but less likelihood of spending a year watching insta videos of one of your favorite drivers learning to walk again, I think its a win-win.
What was the best moment of the race?
I liked Santinos driving he did good
towards the end when my friends and i were cheering on kanaan. 10 MORE YEARS! 10 MORE YEARS!
When Newgarden spun and everyone thought Rossi finished ahead of him
@@absofruitlyriley wasn't Rossi a lap down?
the finish, and the commentary with newgarden spinning
Awesome awesome finish!
DL, you hit on two points on which I’d like for you to pontificate: 1) why has Dale Coyne not locked up Ferrucci long term and 2) why has Connor Daly not landed a full time ride? Go!
lol at Newgarden crawling across the line on the last lap. Can you imagine what that must have felt like? Thanks Santucci.
Give this track a NASCAR Cup Series race
Being a Colts fan too when Andrew Luck retired I felt like Batman when his parents died. I hope those that booed him now understand why. Don't be surprised we still make the playoffs with all that talent. If not the Pacers are gonna be good especially with a healthy Oladipo
7:00 I agree with that. If I was Mclaren I would hire Santucci
The last true side by side finish before last night was that photo finish between Rahal and Hinch at Texas in 2016
Wow David Land I did not realize that a Foyt car hasn't been on the podium on an Oval since Kansas 2002 i was at that race Airton Dare won that day I was 9 at the time
Man i was wondering when he was gonna address Luck finally giving up on the colts
My home track!
Indycar really needs more short ovals
Damn I missed it but was watching the Dirt Million on dirt on dirt. I’ve got to say dirt late models is where it’s at right, however Indycar is definitely up and coming. Besides dirt late models, Indycar is the by far much better than NASCAR.
Ikr some NASCAR fans couldn't be more wrong about their series being "On fire" totally not the case in NASCAR. IndyCar has been far better.
Does IndyCar ever treat the racing surface i.e. NASCAR?The name of the product escapes me,but it's used to increase grip.It was a great race and living 2 hrs from Loudon I would love to see IndyCar give that track another go.Good episode David,and I wanted to say I was real impressed with the crowd.🏁
PJ1
Best race and big crowd
It was cool to see the Oberto car. Just like in H1 Unlimited.
LOL Dixon and Rosenqvist were side by side at Mid-Ohio at the finish. That was less than a month ago and you were there!🤣🤣🤣
Paul O I think he probably forgot to mention, a close finish like that in an oval. I think Texas 2016 comes to mind when he meant the last time.
Gateway is a great track
May be wrong but off the top of my head, I think the last true oval side by side finish was Ed at Kentucky 2011
Don’t forget about Texas 2016!
The race was great. But the Indycar crazy yellow flag procedures are embarrassing
Also. It is interesting to watch Newgarden feel like he needs to teach Santino and publicly whine about him on TV, yet a few weeks ago even he, the “teacher” is trying to squeeze by RHR on the last lap and even made contact with RHR. So he’s not even a rookie and making HUGE mistakes all on his own, yet he goes and whines about Santino. He’s also lucky he didn’t cause RHRs car any damage, but that was completely uncalled for and there is NO way he was going to make that pass. This is only one of many stupid mistakes Josef has made (and not as a rookie).
please explain how Carpenter, Sato and Kanaan cycled to the front. I didn't notice the scoring showed the rest of the field a lap down at the time of the last caution.
They stayed out on one of the last cautions, can't remember what one exactly.
Please do a video on Marco Andretti's whole career
I was there. #IWasThere
Conor Daly: the Matt DiBennedetto of Indycar
I don't think the tires were that bad. The top would have had sufficient rubber down if more ppl ran up there. We don't want perfect sticky tires. Harder/worn tires let the drivers showcase their talents.
Bad day for Rossi, Angry mode
Good day for Sato, Good Karma
*_Jacoby Brissett will bring us to the Super Bowl_*
“Takuma Sato has never won a boring race”
I dunno man, Barber was one of most boring races I’ve seen this year (and I watched the French GP in F1)
Jeez it's been a week already?!
Ferrucci may not only take rookie of the year but also best seb in the standings. Where was this level of performance in f2 and f3?
I wonder if a more durable tire could possibly hurt racing despite reducing marbles. Something for firestone to test for sure. I just wouldnt want to see everyone stuck in position and fresh tires not doing enough to warrant rolling the dice for an undercut pit stop
McLaren should nab Conor Daly. As long as Air Force follows him cause those liveries he has for the USAF are awesome
More of David endlessly praising Santucci, what else is new?
Tbf Santucci's redemption has been unbelieveable, and I wouldn't be surprised if he got rookie of the year.
Dont fret, David. Colts will either get Tua or Lawrence next season mang
In the replay it looks like TK moves his car before Santino does both times. Idk how people can praise Pags at Indy for breaking the draft, but turn around and say TK was an egregious block.
Santino wins if not for Seb washing out
Maybe even a Coyne 1-2. I'd say they were fine on fuel with some fuel saving but not to the extent Rossi needed at all. Wouldn't have had the crazy yellow as those drivers would have pitted under green.
I just cannot see a European based team like McLaren signing Ferrucci. He is just so hated over here.
Santuni, Santucci, Santalino, Santolio, Santana...I mean...
Indy 500 was the best race of the year
It wasn't a good day to be a Graham Rahal fan
This season as a whole hasn't been a good time to be a Graham fan, hopefully they get it figured out because Sato should not be outperforming him.
Jacoby is the next Tom Brady!
Really appreciate the video and commentary. Maybe a bit too much dialog without video. Thanks
Dude Josef Newgarden could have been probably about 16-20 points ahead of where he is in the points. Mid Ohio was his fault, Gateway not really but still kind of. He is still in good shape but he could have looked unbeatable
High tire tegradation
Land David First Race
Carlos S A N T U N A
Yea, definitely lost a lot of sleep with the colts news.
I still like to call it Gateway and I don't know why
Very entertaining but when races are won on luck due to yellows and when you happen to get in the pits, to me, those aren’t “the best” races. I hate that stuff, which is why I’m not a huge fan of short ovals. The dominant and best drivers didn’t win. That’s my opinion though.
Ferrucci is fighting for rookie of the year. Newgarden bitching about a last turn incident is idiotic. Both are fighting for a big prize. Newgarden has made it. Ferrucci is trying to make it. Newgarden is an crybaby
I think of newgarden as becoming the Hamilton of indy gonna keep winning and be at the top but also being a crybaby and a rat like lewis. That's why I m a fan of santino and red bull in f1 I want those bigger than life guys to fall.
Lmao he’s fighting for the championship and trying to extend, and then a guy who just comes down is just dangerous with newgarden coming that fast he’s not a crybaby now he’s starting do dominate and now u guys are hating because your tired of him dominating I’m not even a Hamilton fan
Indianapolis, stop complaining, at least you got a team #STLPROBLUMS
Too bad most fans hate ovals it seems. Indycar needs MORE OVALS
Exactly we have plenty of road courses time to bring some more ovals no more excuses Indycar
Michigan and Loudon
Loudon was a dud in 2011 Michigan would be cool but I think it won't happen I'd like to see Chicago Kansas and Fontana back
8 road curses 8 ovals. Perfect schedule
@@jamesgentry13 id like 20 races 10 road courses 10 ovals
11:11 Umm... Mid-Ohio?
If AJ shows up in Portland,Antifa won't.
So after seeing Santino Ferrucci being an oval hype am I the only one who thinks he looks like Freddie Mercury? 😂
David, You and the American fans need to move away from focusing on the spectacular driving styles of some of the drivers. It means nothing, unless indycar are going to award points for the most spectacular outside pass or the best save of the race. You than go on to say, if this or that was to have happened, Ferrucci would have won. That's not how life works. Ferrucci did not win, hence way you are talking about his driving style, instead of a win. Let the kid win a race first, and than complement him on his abilities. Rossi is going to be quickly known as the guy who is spectacular, but yet to win an Indycar championship. You American fans have talked up Rossi as the next best thing based on his driving style. Now he is looking like he is going to crack under pressure, for the second year in a row. Being spectacular behind the wheel does not seem to deliver you an Indycar championship.
At least its entertaining and big business aka mercades money dont win championships here, ballsy drivers do ,this guys gonna talk about American series while all you here is how can we make f1 competitive and interesting again it's really in a bad place. Obviously true cuz your watching us.
The block by Kanaan should have dropped him down. Dirty old man racer.
Tom Miles I’m new to auto sports so I don’t really know but I am wondering if what Kanaan did wasn’t a block then what is?
