Boston is going to be the finale in 2016. Track layout looks interesting, and it's some place Indy's never been before. Let's hope it goes well.

Ever thought the Drivers title would be decided with a bonafide street fight? You may get your wish.

You should apply for a job in Indycar's marketing department. Well, if it actually existed...

It sounds like there are some last minute drivers changes going on today.The rumor is Vautier is replacing Huertas in the 18 car and Clauson might be out of the KV car.

You got it: Vautier replaces Huertas at Coyne http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/117050-indy-500-huertas-out-vautier-in-at-coyne

Maybe the first time ever a driver has qualified one car, and started the race in another.

Where did you hear that Clauson might be out? That's not good if true. Did they name a possible replacement?

How long is the track? I'm just going to make a wild guess and say it's about 3km long.

 

[legatoblues]

The Boston track? I read 3.6km. I'll see if I can find the source.

I read it on another forum. He is on track today so it is probably safe to say the internet was wrong for once.

Scott Goodyear asked Speedway historian Donald Davidson the same question.

Davidson said that it had happened before, but only before WWI.

FWIW Clauson is dead last and .5 sec behind the slowest Chevy.

To be fair, KV racing haven't had a good time at the speedway. Bourdais more-or-less admitted that he scared the crap out of himself setting his run in an evil-handling car while Coletti & Clauson just haven't been able to find any speed. i rate Bryan on dirt and on pavement in USAC, but it just hasn't been good a Indy for him this year.

 

[RolandOG]

I've never followed IndyCar but I'm really happy about the Boston announcement. I'm definitely going. Hope it's a good event.

The hole through the building in the photo leads directly into the harbor.

Those Chevy's were his teammates.

Unfortunate that the Indy Lights race finished under safety car...

Is the IL field really only 12 cars this year?

 

[fortbo]

My uncle used to race Indy lights, he dropped out because it was too expensive.

 

[spacecowboy73]

Is the IL field really only 12 cars this year?

Yeah, that's better than last year.

 

[Carbonox]

Yeah, that's better than last year.

And the year before that. Indy Lights these days seems to attract less drivers than some GT6 series.

 

[mustafur]

Indy lights is a joke, should of fused with Star Mazda years ago.
