While wasting some time during a power-outage at our house over the weekend, I was scrolling through social media. I came across one of the many IndyCar-related Facebook groups I’m a member of and saw a 2015 photo of driver James Jakes.

Heading into the race weekend at Mid-Ohio, second-year driver David Malukas caused something of a stir when he let it be known that he did not intend to return to Dale Coyne Racing (DCR) for the 2024 season. Actually, it wasn’t that much of a stir since Malukas is currently nineteenth in points; while his rookie teammate Sting Ray Robb is twenty-seventh – trailing two drivers that have missed at least one race.

Rookie Benjamin Pedersen did not make many friends in the paddock, this past weekend at Mid-Ohio. For those that missed it, Pedersen incurred the wrath of race-winner and current points leader Alex Palou for not letting Palou get by to lap him. He later angered several other drivers for the same offense, including Scott McLaughlin, Alexander Rossi and David Malukas.

I am hopeful that everyone had a safe and restful Independence Day. I took off Monday and had a nice and peaceful four-day weekend of doing nothing.

Random Thoughts on Mid-Ohio

Whenever my wife and I can’t agree on what to watch on television, our fallback is always a few random episodes of Two and a Half Men. It’s funny and mindless at the same time. No matter how many times we may have seen an episode, we can always laugh and enjoy it.
