IndyCar Series EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS: Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio | 7/7/24 | Motorsports on NBC

is the position Scott Dixon finds himself in car has died on the pace laps and because of the car stranded on the track I believe we are going to have to wave off the start and start actually counting race laps the next time we cross the line wow but this is go time the beginning of a new era Hybrid Power but it’s also all about the championship as we get started in the second half of the season the green car is below the champion ship leader p a ward black and orange on the outside it’s time to go from Mid Ohio and poo gets the early jump side by side back there for Third poto Ward chasing poo looking for that first team Pensky card Scott mclaughin in the black and red car going to the outside of the black and yellow car of Colton Hera going to get that position down into turn six a little bit of lock up from Christian lard looking at the back of Alexander Rossi side by side through Thunder Rally that is tough they’re going to have to sort it out here into turn nine but lead lest on the outside of L guard same with the second Myer shank machine of Felix roseen Quest all sorts of action at the back they all made it through 456 in the S’s and look at the jump that poo already has five car links on a w so gu some action early on that first lap between two of the guys on screen col Hera in the gamebridge and Drey Global car and Scott mclaughin driving the Scio Chevy for Pensky this weekend look at this this is through turn four but keep an eye to the right you’ll see the number three of mclaughin tried to to get all the way around and he was Wheel tohe in the six normally that would give you the position but just not able to roll enough speed through the Apex because of the Meer shank car of malucas right in front there Colton able to just run that outside line and keep the position and there’s Scott Dixon’s car painfully emotionally painful to see as a team member or a driver as it gets dropped off back on pit Lane meanwhile up front for Alex poo you want to talk about smooth sailing and I want to show you that it’s not just driver it takes a team and Alex poo has a race car that’s working very very well have a look at his left front right here in terms of the Feathering the wear rate on that Firestone you see just a thin little line where the tire degradation is starting to show but you compare that to on board here with po a ward look at his left front much more severe degradation right there lot more under steer it’s even starting to look almost like it’s about to blister on that left front so poo one heck of a driver but chip kassie is a team with poo a lethal combination making his debut and he is ahead of several veterans that’s Scott Dixon back on track fresh from talking with Georgia they did get out to try to score some points and avoid Last Place St but by the way well done for Toby sa is only confirmed race of the Year perseverance playing off for him with dalecoin racing so can Dixon climb back with the PNC Bank car today he’ll keep working at it while Alex poo is in front let’s take a look right now NTT data has broken down the strategies for us on the primary strategy strategy a poow o Ward mclaughin the three running up front on that below you see strategy B three stops for strategy B new Gard fifth lqu eighth and rosenquest on your screen ninth half distance right now and this is the point where we start analyzing push to pass you got the hybrid system and then you still have the Legacy turbo boost improvement from push to pass poo barely touching the button at 184 but po award to your point if he can keep the pace get a yellow he’ll have plenty of push to pass to help him and I want to take a look again at the pit stop for Alex poo it was unclear to me James exactly what held him up on pit Lane we’ll watch the 10 come to the Box Jack goes up tires come off tires go on fuel is pulled but then there’s this delay and it looks like you see poo look down to the wheel as if maybe he hadn’t engaged first gear when he thought he had the car has to be neutral while it’s being refueled so we’ll have to have to have a CH with them afterwards to figure out exactly what happened but thanks to NT we’ll take a look at the pit time differential for that green Flag sequence and look the biggest differentiator right there Townson all that time in the pit box .1 seconds in the carousel Joseph nard he was the leader on that alternate strategy of the three stops he’s in fifth place but still has a stop there you hear Tim syri he said it looked like it went into anti stall let’s see what happened here into turn 11 who’s that in front oh he clipped the Apex curb of turn 11 he took too much curb I’ve done that before there’s a massive divot right before the curb it wouldn’t surprise me if newart even has some damage to his left front suspension from taking that big hit Alex poo controlled the first two3 on the pit exchange pole Ward faster on inaps outlasts a better Pit Stop he’s in front Errol McLaren leading chip kassie racing but poo is back on the charge and is within three car links what I love about this is we see pelo dominate from the front we see him control races and the pace out in clean air we don’t often get to see him get his elbows out have to force the issue and make passes for the lead on the race track hello will get the bonus points for most laps LED pushes here full overt pushes we got to lean on the 78 that’s to kein Simpson that’s Chris wheeler his strategist and they want him to pass canapino but we pointed out already J uh Kevin you brought it up the canbino likely to pit here with about three or four laps to go I don’t think he’s going to have the fuel to make it to the end but here’s what I like I like that chip gassie racings Chris wheeler is telling kin Simpson we need to get around the 78 they want to eliminate themselves from this discussion there’s no gamesmanship being played there’s no message to C to ke and Simpson saying hey make that car wide and hold up the car behind you it’s let’s get around the car not yet could throw a blanket over the top two right now five laps to go about 50 or 60 seconds of push to pass that’s the thinking as he goes wide poo drops two wheels out of turn nine that’s going to cost him half a second at least that’s the second time this did Kevin that Alex poo has pushed too much remember he did it earlier in the final Corner in turn 13 he almost threw it away four miles remaining in this race less than two laps to go with those at the end of the lead lap they don’t have to get out of the way in front of the two leaders the orange and black the papaya in black car of powa Ward Errol McLaren is leading Alex poo meanwhile moments ago that’s Roman Rojan going around contact with the wall it looked like maybe light contact what is race control do here we’re going to see the White Flag This Time by can we stay green still running comes out right in front of Nolan seagull and the leaders that’ll stack things up even more that was a replay that was a little bit earlier that was not a live picture that was the last time by turn nine as padle War comes down the hill now into 12 he’ll cross the line to get the white flag one to go time running out for poo and they stack up even tighter Kevin White Flag White Flag White Flag versus award for the win one to go is it going to be P award and Errol McLaren winning on track for the first time in two years or is poo going to take even more control in the championship and go back to back in Mid Ohio and back to back in the season he won two weeks ago at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna sea this is one of the last best passing zones and poo is not close enough a ward may have to deal with Simpson right in front of him but it seems like canapino is slowing down even a little bit more to try to make it to the finish on fuel so this is really going to back things up as they come through turn six that was a chance right there down the hill into six bit of a defensive line from a ward it was just enough to keep poo at Bay and I don’t know if there’s any opportunities left and keep an eye on that green and black car of canapino he might run out of fuel and start coasting and he does get out of the way so Simpson is in front the teammate at gassie of Alex poo a couple of Corners left p a ward by two car lengths on the main straightway he weaves he wiggles award wins McLaren flag you just at Mid Ohio buddy toppled Alex P at Mid Ohio long time coming long time coming enjoy it hi folks Lee DIY from NBC Sports here if you truly enjoyed what you
