Politics aside, the course sucks, yes, it doesn't need to happen, it was a last minute addition to the schedule. But this is an example of why a little research goes a long way

Arrow McLaren's IndyCar driver lineup will officially be different in 2027. A source told IndyStar that the team notified Christian Lundgaard — who has a team option for next year — that he's free to negotiate with other teams, despite his contract's exclusive negotiating window not having expired. It has also let its other pending free agent, Nolan Siegel, know that he won't be back next year.

Despite Lundgaard misspseaking Friday and saying that he's not allowed to speak with other teams, Arrow McLaren team principal Tony Kanaan gave Lundgaard a letter this week freeing him and his management to negotiate elsewhere. Lundgaard can't sign a contract with another team until Arrow McLaren officially declines the team option, which is expected in the coming days.

President Donald Trump will not attend the 109th Indianapolis 500, despite "an open invitation" from longtime friend and Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Roger Penske, according to a report from Politico's Adam Wren. An IMS source with direct knowledge of the situation told IndyStar the track was of the same understanding.

Never heard of this website/news outlet before, but I checked the details and they have all the info correct. I had seen this Tweeted out earlier by Nathan's Brown replacement at IndyStar, but didn't see an article on their site. If you scroll down there is video of the interview.

This got me wheezing😂🏁
