Any surprises so far? Kind struck me to see Scott Dixon’s lead go from 10 seconds to less than two. Kinda wild to see people throwing chucks of the asphalt surface out there, too. Dixon has led through all 42 laps. We got a lengthy yellow flag coming up. A major turn 6 issue with … Continue Reading →
His once 10-second lead is now down to about 1.6. Will Power keeps plowing through. Looks like some issues over in turn 6 with the asphalt surface. Potholes? We’re no strangers to those in Detroit. Stay tuned.
