Indycar returns

Very happy that Indycar will return (live) at Texas on Saturday. Happens to be one of my favorite tracks, too. The new cars look pretty cool with their aeroscreens, too--better than the F1 solution to driver head protection.

Isn't the Texas race at COTA? That's a very cool track!

Good to have live racing coming back

Cheers Richard

They do, but the ovals are still my favorite. And Texas is the hairiest and scariest of them all, IMO. My hat is off to the rookies running Texas for the first time, with practice, qualifying, and the race all on the same day. Bigger balls have they than I.

They circle that track like rockets. One touch and it's all over.

They are only racing there because of the political environment in Texas. Hahaha!

It's true. How do you like them apples!

True, but it still won’t happen.

I am thrilled to see real racing again, especially Indycar.

Bummed that Bourdais is not there for Foyt.
