.
Saturday morning at St. Pete - the IndyCars hold their final practice before qualifying…

.
A number of cars made their best laps during this P-3 session but other slipped, compared to the P-2 session and will have to contemplate whether or not to return to a set-up that was better for them, when it’s time to qualify. We have here COMBINED all the session, so you can see who has been fastest, and when they were.

.
This is the order of speed for the IndyCars, all sessions combined, with times for the TOP FIVE: [R] denotes rookie; each driver’s best session is in ( )

.
.
.
Notable:

• Ryan Hunter-Reay was fastest in two session - P-2 and P-3 - and was fastest for all IndyCars through all 3 sessions. He clearly has it dialed in and much better than any of his teammates at Andretti.

• The Penske cars made great strides in the P-3 session and will be a factor in qualifying.

Saturday at St. Pete - Indy Pro 2000 hold their 2nd race of the season…

.
…and the guy on top was same as their first race, as veteran Parker Thompson goes two-for-two for Abel Motorsports - this time in the lead from start to finish. P2 was rookie Kyle Kirkwood for RP Motorsport Racing while P3 was rookie Danial Frost for Exclusive Autosport.

.
Parker flies on and off the track

.
.
.
At the drop of the green flag, pole-sitter Thompson got away cleanly, leading P-2 starter Kyle Kirkwood. Getting the great move in Turn 1 was Danial Frost, who went from P6 to P3. That was the podium, set in the first turn, and it never changed. Going from P3 to P6 was Sting Ray Robb for Juncos Racing, while Moises de la Vara for DEForce Racing passed Rasmus Lindh for Juncos, to take P4. On lap 2 Rasmus regained P4 from de la Vara.

Within a few laps Sting Ray was past Moises to claim P5 and then past Rasmus to get P4, but the Swede returned the favor a few laps later to reclaim P4. Following that, Rasmus went in pursuit of Danial and for the rest of the race the pair were nose-to-tail in an epic battle, as Thompson put a little distance between himself and the field.

Despite all efforts, Lindh was unable to pass Frost. On the last lap he crossed the finish line directly on the Singaporean’s tail. By the end of the race Parker had a full 1.4 seconds on Kyle, giving him his 2nd WIN of the weekend and the sure points lead, leaving St. Petersburg.

.
.
.
Notable:

• Parker leaves St. Pete with two things: the points lead and no idea if he will still have a job with Abel, come the next two rounds of racing in May, at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis. He has between now and then to find the sponsor he needs to keep racing.

• Thompson’s points lead includes the 1 point in each race for pole and the 1 point in each race for Fastest Lap. He thus earned every possible point over the weekend.

• Kirkwood was delighted to recover from his disasterous Race 1, where he finished dead last, after losing his front wing on a lap 1 shunt.

.
.
.
Here is your happy podium - That’s Kyle Kirkwood in P2 on the left, Parker Thompson in P1 in the middle and Danial Frost in P3 on the right:

.

.
.
.
With this result, here are the TOP TEN in points leaving St. Petersburg:

1 - Parker Thompson 64
2 - Rasmus Lindh 45
3 - Danial Frost 41
4 - Sting Ray Robb 39
5 - Kyle Kirkwood 33
6 - Nikita Lastochkin 31
7 - Moises de la Vara 30
8 - Phillippe Denes 26
9 - Antonio Serravalle 22
9 - Jacob Abel 22
.
.
.

There is a big delay until the next two rounds, as Season Rounds 3 & 4 will be at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis, May 9-12. Next, USF2000 hold Race 2. The grid for this is in post # 9…

Saturday afternoon at St.Pete - USF2000 closes out the weekend with one to remember…

.
…and the guy who will remember it most is Darren Keane for Cape Motorsports, who led the most laps but lost the race in the final corner. Taking the WIN was Keane’s teammate, Braden Eves, who swept the weekend. P2 was Hunter McElrea for Pabst Racing while P3 went to Zach Holden for BN racing.

.
A happy and surprised Braden Eves sweeps the weekend

.
.
.
The first lap was under yellow but when the race started on lap 2, Keane, from pole, got through Turn 1 clean, but Dane Christian Rasmussen for Jay Howard Driver Development got past Eves to take the P2 spot. Rasmussen then got Keane to take the lead a few turns later, as Eves fell again, this time to Colin Kaminsky for Pabst Racing. Zach Holden then passed Hunter for the P6 spot.

On lap 5 Darren retook the lead from Christian as Zach Holden passed Alex Baron for Legacy Autosport to take the P5 spot. Lap 6 saw Braden recover the P3 spot from Colin. On lap 8 Zach was by Colin for the P4 spot and Hunter took Alex Baron for the P6 spot. Colin continued to fall, as Hunter took P5 from him on lap 10.

On lap 12 a full-course caution flew, as Christian Bogle for Jay Howard missed Turn 9 and ended up in the run-off, out of the race. The race restarted on lap 16. One lap later, Zach took Braden for P3 but Eves made a perfect over-under pass and reclaimed the spot. Hunter then pounced and took P4 from Zach. On lap 18 another caution, as Manuel Cabrera for Exclusive Autosport spun in Turn 14. During the caution, Cameron Shields for Newman Wachs pitted with a mechanical, out of the race.

On lap 21 the race restarted and Rasmussen made his bid for the lead, hounding Keane for the remaining four laps. They were soon nose-to-tail. On the final lap as the pair entered the Turn 13/14 complex onto the front straight Keane braked too late and started to spin. Christian was too close to him and got collected as they both spun out. Braden in P3, Hunter in P4 and Zach in P5 streamed by the spinning cars to take the podium.

What a barn-burner!!

.
.
.
Notable:

• The battle between Keane and Rasmussen produced the Fastest Lap of the race for Christian.

• Zach Holden is racing without a contract and can’t be certain he will be on the grid for the next races, but his great weekend has to help, as the circus comes next to his home town of Indianapolis for Rounds 3 and 4, in May.

• Manuel Sulaiman for DEForce Racing muffed the start of qualifying, damaging his car, and had to start from P20, today, but he charged through the field and finished in P6, salvaging his race substantially.

Saturday afternoon at St.Pete - Indy Lights hold Race 1…

.
…and veteran Zachary Claman DeMelo - aka Zachary Claman - took the prize for Belardi Auto Racing, leading from pole to checkers. P2 was rookie - FRESH-as- a-new-laid-egg-rookie - Toby Sowery for BN Racing, while P3 went to fellow rookie Oliver Askew for Andretti Autosport.

.
ZCD saw “…nothing but blue skies, all day long”…as the song goes

.
.
.
Zachary got away cleanly at the start, with Toby Sowery slotting in behind him in P2 and Oliver slotting into P3. Behind them, Rinus VeeKay for Juncos Racing jumped from P6 past Rob Megennis for Andretti and David Malukas for BN Racing to take the P4 spot, but on Lap 4 Malukas returned the favor and reclaimed P4.

From that point on the podium was set. Zachary began to make distance from Sowery, so as to be able to disable the Englishman’s use of “Push to Pass”, which only worlks when the following car is 1.5 seconds or less behind the leading car. By lap 7 Claman was 2 seconds ahead and safe.

For the next several laps Sowery tried to regain the distance and set Fastest Lap three times in the process, but on lap 12 Zachary set the eventual Fastest Lap of the race, again pulling away for Toby. By lap 19 he was 2.6 seconds ahead. Sowery would then push hard again, having preserved his tires more than Claman, and at the end he had closed the gap to about 0.7 seconds, but ran out of time to do anything about it.

.
.
.
Notable:

• This was Sowery’s first-ever street race and he has only driven a LIghts car for one week. His performance was remarkable, given that. When he gets used to how best to drive a Lights car - Push to Pass, included - he will be formidable - If he can keep this ride. At this time he doesn’t have a contract.

• The rookies in the field were surprised at how much energy they expended in the 35-lap race. Most of them have never driven a car with this much power and downforce for that long. That was one advantage that Zachary had. This is no surprise to him and he was ready for it.

Here is your happy podium - That’s Toby Sowery in P2 on the left, Zachary Claman in P1 in the middle and Oliver Askew in P3 on the right:

It’s time for the IndyCars to qualify! …

.
…and that means it’s time for the obligatory IndyCar qualifying explanation page. We do this for newbies who have never seen the IndyCars qualify and may end up dazed and confused, if they watch this on TV. Now, we DO NOT claim that we will prevent them from being dazed and confused. In fact, we will likely daze and confuse them all the more, but we MUST TRY. If you already and mercifully know this stuff - move on!. If not…good luck!

.

.

So, how does this work? Around ovals qualifying is simple: One car at a time runs the fastest they can for 2 hot laps (after a warm-up lap) and the fastest average speed is the pole sitter, but…

On road and street courses it gets complicated…

The Firestone Fast Six

.Qualifying is done in three segments of TEN MINUTES for the first two and SIX MINUTES for the last. Today, there are 24 cars attempting to qualify. In Segment One, the first 12 cars will be sent out for ten minutes. During that time they will run as fast as they can, being timed. The fastest SIX advance to Segment Two. Then, the 12 remaining cars are sent out for ten minutes to do the same. The fastest SIX from that group also advance to Segment Two. The 12 cars that did NOT advance line up in grid spots P13 through P24, based on their times.

In Segment Two, the 12 that advanced once again run as fast as possible for ten minutes. The fastest 6 of this group advance to Segment Three. The other 6 line up on the grid on spots P7 through P12, based on their times.

Segment Three is also known as The Firestone Fast Six. These cars go out and run as fast as they can for only six minutes and then line up P1 through P6 on the grid, based on their times, and that is how pole is set.

Don’t screw it up! - You have to go as fast as you can but you CANNOT afford to over-cook it: If a car causes a red or full course yellow condition in any segment, the car’s best two timed laps of the segment will be disallowed and that car will not be allowed to advance to the next segment. If a car causes two red or full course yellow conditions in any segment, all segment times shall be voided and the car shall not be permitted to participate in the remainder of qualifying.

Qualifying can be very exciting to watch, as it looks like a very fast race going on, but the cars try to stay separated from each other, so as to get the best possible time without someone mucking up their hot laps. You will see the pole switch SEVERAL TIMES from car to car, as the time runs down.

The pole winner not only gets to start on pole but wins the NTT P1 Award and the valuable series point that goes with it.

.
.
.
In 2018 rookie Robert Wickens, driving for what was then just Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, took the pole in his first-ever attempt, and then went on to almost WIN his first-ever race. Very exciting!

.
.
.
Notable:

• This Will Power’s 8th pole in 10 starts at St. Pete and the 55th pole of his remarkable career. He did it on used red tires, too, beating others on new reds.

• Two red flags in the Q-1 session, first group, messed up things, allowing some drivers to advance while others were not able to put in laps. It colored the whole show. That’s why rookie Ben Hanley ended up in P12 while Sebastien Bourdais ended up P19, for instance, when easily they should have been reversed.

• Takuma Sato got a penalty for a yellow flag after a spin but Scott Dixon spun and got no flag - just the way it happened due to where it happened - racing luck.

• Colton Herta was going to the Fast Six when he got a penalty for blocking Charlie Kimball - Again, it had to do with bad luck and bad timing, but this is what can make qualifying so exciting. It’s a hell of a show that a lot of fans miss, every race.
  .
  .
  .

The race is scheduled for pre-race broadcast at 12:30 pm EASTERN time on NBC-SN. DO NOT FORGET daylight savings time and spring forward tonight!!!

This was the last on-track activity of the day.

Sunday morning at St. Pete - The IndyCars come out first to do the morning warm-up…

.
…First guys on track this morning are the big cars, doing their race-day morning warm-up. IndyCar stopped doing the warm-up, last season, to save tires, but fans at the tracks LOVE the warm-up, because it is one more thing to see live, so IndyCar has brought it back for selected races.

This is the last chance for the teams to throw something at the car and see if it works better than what they have. Not all teams will be pushing hard, though, as not all team feel the need to change their cars and / or use up tires. Some will just be checking their race set-up, on both reds and blacks, one last time. It’s hard to read the results, as a consequence. This is also a great time to practice pit stops and everyone will do that.

.
Here was the order of speed for the IndyCars morning warm-up, with times for the TOP FIVE: [R] denotes rookie

.
1 - Takuma Sato, Rahal Letterman Lanigan - time of 1:010942s

.
2 - Graham Rahal, Rahal Letterman Lanigan - time of 1:011753s

.
3 - Ryan Hunter-Reay, Andretti Autosport - time of 1:013682s

.
.
.
Notable:

• Sato also had a great set-up for qualifying, but lost his spot, due to a penalty for causing a local yellow. That Graham is also fast shows the team has found somethingthat works.

• This is Matheus’ best showing all weekend

• Josef Newgarden spun in Turn 14 but hit nothing.

Sunday morning at St. Pete - The Indy Lights close out their weekend with Race 2…

.
…and a rookie takes the WIN, as Rinus VeeKay for Juncos Racing survived a shunt and two restarts to take P1. P2 was veteran Zachary Claman for Belardi while Toby Sowery for BN Racing gets his 2nd P3 in his second-ever Lights start.

.

.
.
.
The race started with a yellow flag wave-off and really started on lap 2, with Oliver Askew for Andretti Autosport leading from pole. On the start, Rinus in P2 went deep into Turn 1 and was aside Oliver in Turn 2, which is really only wide enough for one car. Rinus was squeezed into the left-side curbing and that launched him into Askew, punting Oliver into the wall and out of the race - a racing incident, according to Race Control.

On the lap 8 restart, Toby Sowery passed teammate Dave Malukas in Turn 3 to take P4, while Rinus quickly gapped the field by 2 seconds. On lap 12 Zachary passed Rob Megennis for Andretti Autosport to take P2, unsettling him enough for Toby Sowery and David Malukas to also pass him on either side, with David taking P3 and Toby taking P4, as Rob ended up in P5.

By lap 16 Rinus was 3 seconds down the road in P1. On lap 25 Toby got a run on David in Turn 1 and took P3 from him, setting the podium. By lap 34 Rinus was more than 7 seconds down the road, when Rob Megennis clouted the wall in Turn 10, bringing out a caution and erasing the Nederlander’s huge lead.

On the lap 36 restart, Rinus launched well and put a good gap between himself and Zachary in P2, but Claman started to use his Push to Pass to inch closer. In each of the 4 remaining laps he kept getting closer, but Rinus was able to keep him at bay and crossed the line on lap 40 with a gap of 0.6 seconds, for the WIN.

.
.
.
Notable:

• Rob Megennis got Fastest Lap of the race

• The two P3s for the weekend put Toby Sowery 3rd in the points, but he will not be racing at Circuit of the Americas - the next two rounds - unless he can find a sponsor.

Sunday afternoon at St. Pete - the IndyCars race!..

.
After a long off-season a lot of new faces and even new teams show up to the first race of the IndyCar season with dreams of WINNING races, right out of the gate. It is possible, but today it was Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing that battled for the top spot and the three guys on the podium when it was all over were very familiar faces and former champions all, as Josef Newgarden for Team Penske WON the race, Scott Dixon for Chip Ganassi took P2 and Josef’s teammate, Will Power took P3.

,
Josef Newgarden celebrates his for GP of St. Pete victory

.
.
.
Early leader was Will Power, from pole, but on the start, Ganassi’s impressive rookie, Felix Rosenqvist, slotted into P2 from his P3 start, passing Newgarden. On lap 13 Sebastien Bourdais’ Dale Coyne Racing car expired with a drivetrain problem. Power, fearing a full-course caution (which never materialized), ducked into the pits - too early, as it turned out, because he was then off-sequence.

That eventually allowed Rosenqvist to inherit the lead for some 28 laps, but his 2nd pit stop was too slow and that allowed Newgarden to take the lead and put Rosenqvist back to P5 with the podium guys and Alexander Rossi for Andretti Autosport in front of him. (He would pass Rossi for a P4 finish).

For that middle stint, Josef stayed on red tires and ran away and hid. He was able to keep the reds in good shape long enough to keep the lead, after his last stop to put on blacks, and was never challenged by the closest contender, Dixon. Josef would WIN by almost 3 seconds.

A very fast and very exciting race!

.
.
.
Notable:

• Rosenqvist was not the only good performing rookie, as Colton Herta for Harding Steinbrenner finished in P8 and Santino Ferrucci for Dale Coyne finished in P9, and partial-season runner Jack Harvey for Meyer Shank w/SPM was 10th.

• Going out with mechanicals were Bourdais, Ryan Hunter-Reay for Andretti (blown engine), Takuma Sato for RLL (electrical gremlin) and Marcus Ericsson for Arrow SPM, for reasons unknown.

• The only crash was when Ed Jones for Ed Carpenter clipped a wall, launching him into another wall, hard, and unfortunately, Matheus Leist for AJ Foyt clouted the wreck as he tried to get around it, getting taken out, too. Matheus is fine but Ed will need a splint for a finger.

.
