![]() Of course you can do this by hand, but if you are having multiple apps and configurations this can get out of hand very fast. NOTE: Stay tuned for next week’s podcast as we will have a dual interview with O’Ward and Newgarden.When your project get’s close to release, it’s time to think about decent ways to build your Ionic app. The Detroit Grand Prix is on Sunday, June 4 th! There isn’t much time for Newgarden to celebrate or for those that didn’t win to get their on-track revenge. So there you have it, another rollercoaster race of emotions with the highest of highs and lowest of lows. ![]() Furthermore, all of Ind圜ar’s decisions are final and not subject to appeal. In my reading of it, it is a legitimate re-start, if unprecedented. However, the conspiracy theorists will have to settle that with what the rulebook states. Penske owns the track, the series, and Newgarden’s car. Conspiracy theorists will wonder about that late re-start that gave Newgarden the chance to win. Newgarden’s win gave Roger Penske his 19 th Indy 500 triumph. Feruccis’s “Stars and Stripes” liveried Dallara Chevy was a real fan favorite. He made the pass stick into Turn 3 and snaked his way out of Turn 4 to take his first win in the 107 th running of the Indianapolis 500! Needless to say Ericsson wasn’t happy, Newgarden was ecstatic and although he was disappointed too, Ferucci was able to make AJ Foyt smile giving him his best finish at Indy in 23 years. Newgarden timed it perfectly setting up Ericsson out of Turn 2 and had momentum down the back straight. It came in and the field got a green and a white flag for the last lap. The cars exited the pits behind the pace car. But wait, there’s more! Ind圜ar decided to do a one-lap shootout re-start. At this point, it looked like a celebration of two wins in-a-row for Ericsson. With two laps remaining the race was red-flagged again. He ended up spinning and smacking the wall.Ī very late re-start after a red flag saw Newgarden leading however he was jumped by Ericsson when the green flag flew. With seven laps remaining, O’Ward stuck his nose down the inside of Ericsson but couldn’t stick the pass. Meanwhile, as the last quarter of the race raged on, the polite and courteous driving took a back seat to the “I’ve gotta’ go and win this race now” mentality. Although he left on a stretcher complaining of knee pain, he was later released from the infield medical center. It was a spectacular yet scary view from his in-car camera. Kirkwood hit the wall, flipped upside down and scraped on his roll hoop and aeroscreen with sparks aplenty. Thankfully, it flew in between two grandstands and hit a parked car but no one was injured. He lost a rear tire that flew over the catch fence. ![]() That spin and crash coming off the wall just missed Santino Ferucci but caught out Kirkwood. The “big one” involved Rosenqvist losing air on his nose and he understeered and slid up the track before contacting the wall. Once fixed he gradually moved forward again. Scott Dixon, Takuma Sato, Colton Herta and Kyle Kirkwood also showed good speed throughout, however Dixon rapidly moved from near up front to mid-field in a short amount of time on his opening stint due to a bad tire vibration which visibly shook his rear wing. He and his teammate Felix Rosenqvist seemed to be just a wee bit quicker than the other two in their stable – Alexander Rossi and Tony Kanaan. The Arrow McLaren team was bloody quick throughout especially with Pato O’Ward taking his place up front for multiple laps. Marcus Ericsson was driving just like last year when he won by staying in the top ten almost all day and conserving fuel. Fortunately for Palou, this was under a yellow flag condition and his Ganassi crew was able to repair his car and send him back out to try and catch up. That all ended when Veekay spun his tires too much leaving the pits, got sideways and contacted Palou as he was leaving his pit box putting him into the pit wall. Alex Palou and Rinus Veekay were both super strong in the first half of the race. What started off as a mostly clean, polite and fuel saving strategic contest, ended up with multiple crashes, red flags and hot tempers. The 107 th running of the Indianapolis 500 is now in the history books and holy mackerel, what a finish! Lots of drivers were fast and in good positions to win, but in the end, Josef Newgarden drank the milk as an Indianapolis 500 champion!
