    98th Indianapolis 500

    No one has started a thread for this yet?

    Temperature for tomorrow should be about 80°F (26°C). That's right between the barely 70° temperatures of 2013 and the 90°+ of 2012.

    Thanks for starting. Any guesses who the winner will be? My choice would be Newgarden. Good for the sport with an American driver in his early years and an under funded team.. I don't think he'll be the winner, but it would be nice and maybe create some buzz.

    I have a suspicion the Ganassi team has been massively sandbagging. They were slow all month and when they needed it they just turned it on.

    As a newbie to Indycar this season, what is the main difference between the regular Indycar rounds and the Indy 500

    Do we have more cars?

    More cars, yes. But the main difference is the pressure which comes from racing on one of the most famous tracks and events in all of auto racing. Kind of like Monaco, which is a crappy little track no one would dream of putting i F1 car on if it weren't Monaco. Indy isn't crappy of course and is very well maintained. And, lets not forget the massive purse at Indy. The winner becomes an instant millionaire.

    It's the only IndyCar race left that gets any attention at all

    Wow, 135 laps in and not a single yellow flag - this might well become the fastest Indy 500 ever.

    The Andretti cars are looking pretty good at this point.
