[@DexterFishbourne]

Was a HUGE Greg Moore fan (RIP) back in the golden days of Indy/CART and it's been a long time since I've watched it as religously as I used to, but Indy is back baby. I'm a F1 tragic, but this is great racing.

[@Solurius1]

The cars are exciting to watch, the drivers are exciting to watch, the tracks are the best. IndyCar for this old former driver and perennial race fan is simply the best racing available. Thank you, Roger Penske, and all of the car owners for bringing the joy of racing back to me.

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

Great extended highlights,, many of us can't afford to pay for TV

[@paulpark1170]

Now we understand why Indycar chose Fox, NBC prefers reruns of Law/Order.

[@ericmarchesini4883]

And USA aired the Cup race at New Hampshire

[@Trickkass1964]

And it took 6 hours to complete the boring cup race so they chose not to air the Indy race. Went straight to Law and Order.

[@Kamik62]

​​@@Trickkass1964u indycar fans work hand and hand with f1 fans.

[@alexbrown3486]

Was wondering why it didn’t record for me! That is an embarrassment

[@andypowell4702]

​@@Trickkass1964 I was disappointed too, had the Indycar race recorded to watch after Nascar but that race wasn't boring. They should have put nascar on the secondary channel when Indycar started but both were entertaining races. Nascar and Indycar are both 100X more entertaining than F1, F1 is the real time for bed and need to sleep race. I just wanted to watch both good races.

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

Kirkwood starting to live in the top 5

[@vinewood8295]

WTF how did Roger Penske not sign this Palou kid before Gnassi, this dude is a beast...

[@danielhenderson8316]

He was cutting down his IndyCar program from 4 cars to 3 at the time. Palou also wasn't that memorable or impressive his rookie year with Dale Coyne just scoring 1 podium.

[@FallingPicturesProductions]

That 2020 season was the one that was upended by Covid weirdness. Horrible season to judge driver potential.

[@jorgemarquinez8519]

He was a Honda driver coming from Japan, they pushed for a Honda car

[@bobbywest1405]

I miss the full broadcast on KZbin, hopefully it comes back with Fox. No explanation how Newgarden was in the lead from nowhere with 22 to go

[@scottkramer7431]

I was a gift from the officials by letting him get into the pits before full course yellow.

[@petebeatminister]

Indycar! May be not as technical as F1 - but just as much fun!

[@321gates]

Technical = cookie cutter racing. As we've watched the cars get better/more advanced/more manufacturer driven in all forms of mororsports, we've also watched fan support drop. Much of the reason for drivers in most other forms of racing not seeming to be as "technical" as F1 drivers is because the F1 cars are so driveable in comparison. You basically just have to hit your marks. Easier said then done, but the fans want to see parity in racing. Different driving styles, setups, etc. That is why many F1 fans are gravitating toward other, less "techical" forms of racing like Indy or IMSA.

[@billyyank5807]

F1 is boring asf. You cough on those cars and they'll stop running. Way over engineered.

[@petebeatminister]

@@321gates Yes, F1 has become a joke of itself. They claim to be the pinnacle of racing technology - but if someone comes up with something new that makes the car faster, its banned straight away. All this bitching is sure not what most fans want from racing. Cars dont have to be complicated to make them good race cars. One of the most exciting racing for me was the BTCC before 2000. They had pretty basic cars, like 3 series BMWs, Fords, Alfa, Renaults ect, all modified to be quite equal in performance. The real racing factor was the drivers, who did amazing battles on the tracks. Never been shy to exchange some paint with others... :)

[@dannysrigid]

@@321gates F1 is too fragile and too big to race on historic tracks like Laguna Seca, and too limited and protected from anyone wishing to compete with them. It's not a racing sanction and hasn't been for a long time. Currently it's club racing for the elite and wealthiest. The funny thing though, most of the new DTS fans complain the most about is "IF they ran the same cars, so and so would beat the other guy"... the obvious answer is "watch Indycar instead". F1 cars are too big for LS, but Indycar runs twice as many cars on that little track that F1 can't fit. F1 doesn't allow competition from outside their little bubble, Indycar welcomes anyone that can qualify for the race. But ONE thing F1 has in spades is, they don't allow their broadcast partners to bump their races in favor of ANYTHING ELSE! I've never seen an F1 race bumped and eliminated from broadcast. Once or twice I've seen the show delayed, but always broadcast in it's entirety, from start to the end of the podium ceremony.

[@donnierittenberry5515]

That’s one tuff track

[@corbendallas4716]

Super strong race from Romain Grosjean, nearly got podium, Strong pace all race. C'mon ROMAIN!!!!!😄😎💯

[@93Enthusiast]

Wouldn’t need 30 mins of highlights if Indy had decent tv partner! NBC/peacock STINKS!!!! They bumped Indy for Law & Order reruns.

[@mikulitsi1819]

They don't care anymore now that they lost to FOX. Expecting more of these petty things from them

[@codymoe4986]

"NBC/Peacock stinks" Hmm, I distinctly remember watching a majority of the action from Laguna Seca this weekend on Peacock, NBC's streaming platform... The support series races, qualifying, the entire race, etc. Not to mention, a bunch of IMSA action from Watkins Glen as I was doing housework... And after the season concludes, I can drop it. And all for about $40 or $50 bucks?? Find a better excuse...

[@STC987]

@@codymoe4986 outside of Indycar, peacock is garbage that’s why it loses massive amounts of money for NBC.

[@danielhenderson8316]

@@codymoe4986 Which is weird because when I was watching on Peacock I got a lot of black filler for where the non-existent commercials were. Just the raced chopped up at random points on a supposedly ad-free tier. I'm not going to miss Peacock at all, and neither is IndyNXT. There's team owners excited about possibly getting sponsors next year instead of just rich parents watching their kids race.

[@JeffSherlock]

It was almost shocking to hear the Star Spangled Banner sung properly for the first time in years. Not the Nashville yodel version, not the top-forty rubbish version.

[@ChuckHickl]

I assume that means you're not a fan of the Jimi Hendrix version?

[@billyyank5807]

​@@ChuckHickl jimi's was the best!!

[@scottkramer7431]

Jimi's is the only one worth listening to.

[@dannysrigid]

@@billyyank5807 Jimi's version was historic and awesome, but the BEST version is when it's the fans in the stands singing it together... you know like you would if you were honoring the nation instead of some entertainer using it as a resume booster. THE best version I've seen recoded was when a high school decided they weren't going to play the National Anthem and the fans decided otherwise and sang it without backup music, while the players ran back to the first and third baselines to honor the flag. Barr none!!! That was what the anthem is about!

[@dhanyrafael]

Amazing race on a legendary track. IndyCar is chaos. 😊❤🎉 Way better than boring F1.

Thank you for posting 👍👍

[@crixdog32]

17:56 Armstrong was so so lucky.🙏🙏

[@halfpolecat278]

I tried watching this race, as Laguna Seca is my favorite track, and I’m sorry but the commercials/ads ruined the experience. I would love to be a fan of IndyCar and would even pay money (like I do with F1 tv) if the commercial/ad situation is ever fixed. Kind of a shame TBH. Guess I’ll just stick with the highlights and keep on watch F1 races.

[@jaysuneakle]

I agree. There are too many commercials. I'd gladly pay a fee to have zero ads and therefore stay in the moment without distraction. 50% racing, 50% commercials. Really awful. I'd rather watch highlights too over the actual ad-race

[@matsunagake2586]

Those reckless rejoins could have ended up in terrible crashes No footage here but Ericsson almost clipped Newgarden at that tricky pit entrance earlier in the race

[@rhyswhite4018]

These race highlights on KZbin are brilliant but my goodness the tv broadcasting both national and internationally is awful. How do you expect to build a fan base when it’s so incredibly challenging to find the race live.

Stupid to not throw the yellow. Do we have to wait for someone to get hurt before we get consistent yellows. Just stupid and dangerous

[@allenparedes6132]

No, please shut up.

Yep

[@timmynicolas8729]

No we have to wait till Newgarden pits 😂

[@vortexluigirosalina5557]

I wonder why it took so long to throw that caution?

[@danielhenderson8316]

@@vortexluigirosalina5557 Every so often, IndyCar will wait to throw the full course yellow so people can dive into the pits and not ruin their race strategy. Normally, a car would be in a runoff area in relative safety, but rarely when a car is on the other side of the curbs.

[@ChrisDavidMuzik]

10:08 that warranty?

[@williamdickman7917]

Nice racing at a classic track. Must say I am old school and would rather see real open wheeled, open cockpit racing, though.

[@AmbientMike]

but we both realistically know thats not gonna happen, and thats not a bad thing. Dan Wheldon, Justin Wilson, Jules Bianci, Henry Surtees..just to name a few reasons. They are still open wheel racing, with the same great racing as always....just safer for the folks who put on the show for us

Prior to that great result Romain was running 5 th at Detroit until Lungaard totally misjudged the corner and at Indy road course that little dirt bag Ferruci left him no space on the outside it could have been another Top 10 result

@@hannahbarley97 I'll give you Long Beach, but on the real abusive and bumpy circuits like Belle Isle, Downtown Detroit, Toronto, and Nashville he's been Crashjean. He can run good for a little bit, but he's never put together a great race from beginning to end.

[@John-jl9de]

So where can we watch the full race this week after the USA/NBC cancelling the race and moved it to MSNBC? They didn't even put a notice on the screen that the race had been moved over to MSNBC. Thanks for treating your customers, you know, the ones that pay for your feeds, a heads up. Getting ready to cancel our TV subscription because they consistently do this stuff and glad that FOX now has Indycar. Indycar had better up their game if they want to attract new viewers and keep us old viewers.
