Almost 20 years to the day, Colton Herta emulates his father, Bryan, by testing an
#F1
car for the first time 👏
Do you think we'll see Herta Jr in a full-time F1 race seat at some point in the future? 💬

Robin, I’ll miss our calls, your wit, your honesty, your stories, and most of all your love for all things
@IndyCar
. You spoke of the drivers as your heroes, but really they were your friends. You will be deeply missed kid. Godspeed
Godspeed John Andretti. My first IndyCar teammate. A true racer and great human. I am heartbroken for Nancy, Jarett, Olivia, Amelia, and the entire Andretti family. I will miss your sense of humor the most. Please

@AlexanderRossi
Will miss you as a teammate next year but will always count you as a friend…plus was kinda cool we got to do this together 👇
#AllAndretti
Someone should do a fan poll on what worked for them and what didn’t. Good for
@IndyCar
for trying a new format, now let’s let the people who matter, THE FANS, tell us what they liked and what needs improvement.
✍️ OPINION: There are reasons to shower
#IndyCar
leadership with praise for trying something different with the
#ThermalChallenge
non-points exhibition.
Yet, it is also tough to not look at the endeavour as a half-assed attempt to tick a box 👇
Idea:
@iracing
and
@indycar
come to an agreement to hold races with the actual indycar drivers starting in Birmingham.
Broadcast on
@NBCSports
. Would. be groundbreaking in a time like this.
Might give a chance for sponsors...
Congratulations to Colton Herta Racing on securing his first
@IndyCar
season victory at the GMR Grand Prix today at
@IMS
! Despite challenging weather conditions,
@ColtonHerta
led for 50 of the 75 laps to take the checkered flag.
It’s been a long, winding, and difficult road to this point and the journey is not over, but thankful we’ll be able to move down the road with a bit more speed!
I’ll be joining
@BHA
for the 2022
@IMSA
season and piloting one of their
@hyundai
Elantras.
Now, let’s go win.
Thanks for everyone’s notes and concern, very much appreciated. Thankfully Colton feels fine. Lots of work ahead for our
@FollowAndretti
crew but they will have a car ready for Sunday.
@IndyCar
is immeasurably better because of you Robin, as usual this column is insightful and a love letter racing and to a life very well lived, you just got one part wrong, WE are the lucky ones my friend.
So here’s the thing about pranks in the
@IMS
bus lot...the list of potential culprits can be extensive. But one thing is for certain, once I find out who it is, payback is going to be a painful lesson.
For the April issue of Robb Report, I was asked "Who is the next me?" I picked 20-year-old
@ColtonHerta
. When I look at him, I see myself. Check out the list of "leaders of tomorrow".... nominated by leaders of today. Thanks for including a couple of racers
@RobbReport
I love
@IMS
and yesterdays qualifying was next level intense, but really feel for
@Hinchtown
and
@PippaMann
. Knowing how hard all teams and drivers work at this place, heartbreaking last few minutes. Both will be back stronger and better.
Riccardo Nault, me, Larry Ellert, Brian Farrell, Ken Deagle, and Ray Leto all part of the Rahal crew (Allen KREEMER was here too but not pictured). So great to reconnect with so many old friends/teammates.
Everyone at Autosport is saddened to hear that our former magazine editor, Andy Hallbery, passed away this morning.
We all send our thoughts and condolences to his family and many friends at this sad time.
Andy's influence and support will never be forgotten

Would you like to see a throwback race in IndyCar? Which livery would you pick for each team and driver?

that IndyCar now needs to follow NASCAR's lead here ⤵️
Great to see

Sad to wake to the news this morning of the passing of Mari Hulman George, she was a great friend to the drivers and an important part of what makes

special.

Huge news for INDYCAR and IMS. Thank you Hulman-George family for 74 years of stewardship, the future growth of our sport w/the passion and drive from Roger Penske and Penske Corp will be immenseBREAKING: Hulman and Co sells IMS, IndyCar to Penske | RACER
Thank you
@marshallpruett
for this very cool gift! I used to read every issue of On Track Magazine cover to cover, was so excited to be on the cover.
#IndyLights
What if the fans voted on the qualifying and race formats from 3 choices? Standing starts? Inverted heats? One lap quals? Format decided day of event, teams and drivers have to adjust to what the fans want! Let’s get crazy if we are doing a non-points race. Thoughts???
