Is there anything Cesaro can't do?

It’s so strange seeing Cesaro doing this, because you’d expect WWE to be sending, like, Cena or the Bella Twins or whoever else in their cadre of talents that seemingly only do the PR loop.

Simon Pagenaud had a fantastic race to win the IndyCar Grand Prix under wet conditions. Rounding out the top five were Scott Dixon, Jack Harvey, Matheus Leist, and Spencer Pigot. Lot of passing up front and through out the field, an unlikely group of drivers contending at the end, and some excellent strategy calls made this an awesome race.
Next up, 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500!

I'm predicting more drastic rule patches next year, I'm loving F1 at the moment but I can see a lot if the fanbase gets bored fast with the amount of races being over after 5 laps.

Somehow they all made it through that first lap with no major incidents.

If Ed Carpenter Racing could get their shit together all year long they would be a heavy hitter in IndyCar. All three of their drivers in the first three rows, with one of them sitting as the fastest so far. Besides the three ECR cars, there's three Penskes, one Harding-Steinbrenner, one Andretti, and one Coyne. Surprised to see Hinch struggle a second year in a row to make the field. And it's great to see DragonSpeed make it with Hanley, feel like a lot of people wrote them off as a bump candidate from the beginning.

Indianapolis 500 last row qualifiers are Sage Karam, James Hinchcliffe, and Kyle Kaiser! Alonso is out, as are Max Chilton and Pato O'Ward. Huge effort from Juncos Racing and Kaiser to make it in, and loved the emotion from Karam when he realized he would make the field, on the verge of tears the entire interview.
Simon Pagenaud takes pole position, with Ed Carpenter and Spencer Pigot joining him on the front row.

Nice to see Karam get in.
Not often a Pennsylvania driver (unless you count Mario Andretti) does anything in Motorsport.

Trouble for LeClerc after he was making his way through the pack. He clipped the barrier, got a puncture and left bits of his tyre all over the track as he made his way back to the pits.
Safety car.
