What a wild season it’s been.

Congrats to Palou for #3.

Being a Toyota fan is suffering

Incredibly rare UN W

I don’t think they’ll not grant the waiver, but a penalty could possibly turn the win into an encumbered win, meaning it wouldn’t count for playoff eligibility. Whether or not they actually do that remains to be seen.

I imagine Logano will just get a “don’t do that again” fine.

That finish is exactly why people don’t take NASCAR seriously

An impressive start to the hybrid era on ovals

The ride never ends.

Pretty terrible to do that to Pourchaire after he committed to backing out of Super Formula.

The ride never ends

It’s a bit of a shame. I’d love to root for JHR as a David fighting against the Goliaths that are the other big IndyCar teams, but they make it really hard to like them sometimes, particularly over the past two seasons.

I think I hate it

Newgarden’s going to have a fun time in the 500 this year I guess

Long Beach in particular was really good, with multiple viable pit strategies and a pretty down-to-the-wire finish.

Also a really good article by MP explaining how they got caught:

Feels a bit overly-complicated, but I’m willing to give it a chance

I’m not sure why they decided to make an anime to cater to me specifically, but I’m down for it

Probably a good thing considering what a disaster IndyCar starts and restarts tend to be in general.

…Is the “everything app” actually going to become a thing?

Based on my feelings on MyGO ep. 13, I feel like the Ave Mujica anime will be less engaging to me than the MyGO anime was. But I also wasn’t initially very excited for MyGO and it ended up being one of my favorite anime ever, so I’m more than open to being proven wrong.

The recap movies seem like they could be cool. I think my only real complaint with MyGO is that Raana wasn’t especially relevant throughout most of it, so I’m very interested in seeing her get more focus.

I’m hoping iRacing’s NASCAR game manages to actually be good, and if it is, hopefully they can grab the Indycar license.
