Good morning from a hot and steamy Road America. Yesterday afternoon got pretty hot, but that was nothing compared to what today should be. By tomorrow, temps are projected to be 20° warmer than Friday. Yikes! I’ll have to remind myself to drink plenty of water – something I don’t normally do.
It’s Day Two at Road America!

It was another good day at Road America, but then – in the ten years we have been coming here, I’ve never had a bad day.
Welcome to Road America
Posted in IndyCar on June 20, 2025 by Oilpressure
Welcome to a partly sunny and muggy Road America. It was raining when we woke up this morning in Fond du Lac, so we went back to sleep and slept in. We were tired from the long drive up yesterday.
Road America Preview

This weekend marks our favorite non-Indianapolis 500 race on the schedule for the NTT IndyCar Series. This might be considered heresy by some, but if I was told I could only go to one race per year for the rest of my life; I’m not sure which I would choose – the Indianapolis 500 or Road America. That’s how much we love going to Road America.
Gateway Preview

Welcome to a first-time ever Saturday race preview. I figure if they can change up the schedule this weekend, so can I. Besides, it’s a two-day show – so depending on when you read this, there may or may not have been any track activity yet.
A Very Unpopular Opinion
Posted in Indianapolis 500 on June 6, 2025 by Oilpressure
I fully understand that I will come off as an old man yelling at a cloud on this, and I know I am in the vast minority. Even my own household is deeply divided on this topic. Susan completely disagrees with me. But I have had conversations with a few people that do agree with me on this topic, so I know I’m not completely alone on an island.
Random Thoughts on the Indianapolis 500
Posted in Indianapolis 500 on May 26, 2025 by Oilpressure
Another Month of May at Indianapolis is in the books. A new champion in Alex Palou has been crowned and we are exiting the month with many storylines that will continue throughout the summer. It seems like maybe a week ago that Susan and I were up here for the Open Test. It was actually April 23-24, when Kyle Larson and Takuma Sato both crashed on Day Two. Sato’s crash may have been an omen as to what was to come. His car unexpectedly snapped around quickly with little warning, before hitting the outside wall hard exiting Turn One. It was a hard enough hit that it destroyed the car, forcing his Rahal Letterman Lanigan team to purchase a new tub from Dallara for May.
