🤦‍♂️ can you go a few minutes without thinking about Deegan? Or hating/complaining about everything? Must be a terrible way to live like that.

Pointing out your creepy infatuation with a 20 year old kid when you make a kooky statement is me thinking about him? Uh, ok.

Is nice to see Hunter finally getting his day in the sun. Guys been so humble and gracious being the second best racer on the team and in the family for that matter.  Gotta feel pretty great to be at the tip of a 450 title fight.

Vince freise should really be banned from professional racing 

He put a bounty out on his competitors and everyone laughed about it. If that didn't disqualify him from the sport, nothing will, and he knows it.

The gates are actually stacked and ready to go tomorrow with a broadcasting crew that will  actually call and show you the race instead of filler BS!!

My wife said "shut up Ricky" at least 25 times tonight. I said "shut up Will" however many times they cut to her. What a horrible broadcast team.

Oh yeah, Shimoder

In before Webb 4th places himself to another triple crown win and everyone calls him crafty even though he got smoked and just got lucky 

The setup talk for Mr. mental toughness is approaching sexton levels but it's just a sign of his superior mental toughness obviously because we all know he's mentally tough. Will said she talked to someone who told her that tonight's setup feels like home. So probably on a different frame and suspension in two weeks since home is apparently battling with Jcoop now.

As big of an Eli fan as anybody, but genuinely have to acknowledge Hunter totally earned that in race 3. Just would've liked to see more of it camera crew... 

Glad most of them got out of there uninjured, but sad about AP.

Eli should take this as a win based on his previous results at Indianapolis. This is probably one of his worst venues, and tonight is one of, if not his best result. Which shows you how much he is gelling with his bike.

Go back and watch a race from 2013 era so many better camera angles , a lot more close up footage instead of just the drone the whole time

I like.how the broadcast never brought up Vince almost taking out Eli.

Im sure that probably took the wind out of his sails a bit.

Two tiny mistakes plus Hunter jumping into his line, such a bummer man. But what really blows my mind is how everytime after he went down he dropped an insane amount of places just by kicking his bike.

A2, tipping over in a corner, kicking his bike for 20 seconds, dropping to almost last place. Then the Hunter incident. Hunter instantly picks up his bike and stays in 4th while Kenny sits there kicking for 30 seconds and ends up n 10th. Tonight again... crashed, dropped to last while kicking his bike. At least he's healthy after that one. But that's it unless both Hunter and Tomac DNF.

Yeah he could easily have 8-10 more points with an electric start...

Why don't they build one on it. You can buy all those items so it is legal.

Would love to see the running order for 12-20 sometime, the overall chase isn't exciting enough to be there all race.

Kenny said they tested it multiple times, but he said he liked the handling of the bike more without it, that's at least what he said 1-2 years ago.

Huh I never noticed that Indy has been historically a struggle race for him until I just went it looked at all of his results there. You are correct.

Watching the segment now with JT on the whoops, which btw are insane and so are the riders racing those things! 

But man, I know Indy is unique in being a very soft dirt. But, it seems almost all tracks the whoops get destroyed anymore. I feel like it didn’t used to be this way, like they would stay pretty decent all night, or atleast skimmable. Maybe my memory isn’t good. But like Paris SX or many WSX races they stay solid the whole night.

Glad we got to see Davies’ mechanic congratulate him rather than the battle with Jo and Hammaker. Never change, Bondo. Never change. 

The funny part is that Bondo isn’t even there, and the broadcast is still crappy.

Wait, people are angry at Prado for that start? Wow.

I get it when people call out the wide riding and crossjumping, but there is nothing wrong with that start.
