IndyCar Series EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS: Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach | 4/21/24 | Motorsports on NBC

[@derrickgibson3240]

I was in attendance at Nazareth in 2001 to see Scott Dixon's first Indycar win, crazy to think he's still winning in 2024.

[@STARSHIPTROOP]

fun fact : Scott had a flat tire for part of the last lap

[@NERGYStudios]

The Fernando Alonso of Indycar.

If Bruce McCaw kept PacWest alive for 2 more yrs w/ Scotty & Tony Renna, what a powerhouse they would have been.

[@aojracing4885]

He's won at least one race in the last... 20 seasons!!!

Was just at this race with my wife and kids. We were just past the hairpin on the front straightaway. Dixon was brilliant, and my older son was all about him today.

[@Duster2582]

Hey! I was in the grandstands too and I was nervous for Dixon too…😂

[@MarcBarkyMarta]

@@Duster2582 we were in grandstand 26, just ahead of the Port of Long Beach Green Port crossway. The Dixon/Newgarden cat & mouse chase was thrilling in the last bit of the race, but the all Honda podium was the cherry on top for me.

Pourchaire finishing 11th on what I think is his debut in Indy was cool to see. If he decides to go Indy instead of looking for a Formula seat, I think he's got a good future ahead.

[@fulse1856]

Yes but i think it's main project is to bé a formula 1 pilot because it's his dream since child more than indycar

As an Aussie it infuriates me. A lot of it is down to the recently deceased Sir Colin Giltrap who Dixon dedicated this win to. He invests so heavily in young drivers and it pays off. We've got billionaires in Australia who don't look twice at motorsport except Ricciardos Dad.

[@brettrankin9594]

One of the key things that makes IndyCar so good to watch and i think gives it an edge over F1 that a lot of people don't really appreciate is the cars are the same so it comes down to driver skill and strategy, I love F1 I've watched it since 1999 but I find IndyCar a far more enjoyable series to watch because of how close it is between everyone, you never know who's gonna win the next race

[@robprator5890]

I’m an Pato fan, but not going to make excuses for why he did so poorly. I just want to say one thing, he did exactly what Herta did and Pato got a drive through, they didn’t even look at Herta. This isn’t F1, whatever you do to one you really should do to the other. I would say the only difference in the replay is 5 at least attempted to avoid contact, but 26 just lifted him and kept pushing.

[@nicksterl.2133]

Pato didn't get a drive through, he gave up 5 places. And him ramming Rossi on what's basically a straight with a kink was much more black and white, whereas Herta was on the edge of what could be considered racing incident in the tightest of tight spots on the calendar.

@@PaperBanjo64 Good for fans, not good for sponsors and a sport competing with F1 and NASCAR

[@peterresetz1960]

INDY CAR is better than F1 in that there is not one single team that dominates the entire field so that only one driver wins every single race for the entire season like last season in F1, and currently this season with the same driver in F1. Currently that driver in F1 is Max Verstappen. So I'm not even gonna pay attention to F1. The only good racing coming out of Europe is the WEC. Australia's SUPER CAR is too often overlooked as the spectacular race series that is. In the U.S. it's INDY CAR, IMSA, and TRANS AM, with all three competently run race series. NASCAR has become a joke. It should be called CRASHCAR for all the accidents that are caused when the race officials pause racing with a no accident yellow flag just so as too bunch all the drivers back up again. This to cause more exciting racing, but all it does is cause more crashes. There's an old saying in NASCAR that "Yellow flags breed more yellow flags". It's the only race series that I know of that purposely sets up the field of cars for more spectacular crashing accidents. What a pathetic joke.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Supercars isn't what it used to be, there is talk of going back to being a touring car series. Australian audiences just aren't buying into the Camero V Mustang formula. Since Holden left a lot of fans stopped paying attention, even Ford fans like myself. Especially seeing as Mercedes, Volvo and Nissan all bailed on the series. It's just not relatable.

Neither one of them would of extended their careers past the 8th year without their daddys help. So yes they would still be in Indycar, but Marco Andretti would be more like Carlos Munoz.
