This week, IndyCar returns to the 2.258-mile, 13-turn Mid-Ohio road course at Lexington, Ohio. Scott Dixon,who has won four of the six previous IndyCar races at Mid-Ohio, continues his winning streak with 3 wins at Pocono and Toronto. Points leader Helio Castroneves and 2012 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay are looking strong as well. Race should be fun to watch.
James Davison is driving the No.18 Dale Coyne Racing car,replacing Pippa Mann. Luca Filippi(!) is also testing No. 98 HBA-Barracuda Racing car. Oriol Servia will return to the cockpit for Panther Racing at Mid-Ohio this weekend as Ryan Briscoe continues to recover from injuries sustained in a crash in Toronto. He will join the commentary booth for NBCSN.

1st August 2013, 11:28 at 11:28 am #239714sushant008Participant@sigman1998 – Yeah!. I also love this track. Kinda shorter version Turkey. Very Laguna Seca like.
3rd August 2013, 21:55 at 9:55 pm #239715Keith CollantineKeymasterRyan Hunter-Reay claimed pole position at Mid-Ohio and came within a hundredth of a second of beating the 1999 track record of 1’05.347.
He will share the front row with Will Power. Scott Dixon and Marco Andretti are on row two:
1. (1) Ryan Hunter-Reay, Dallara-Chevy, 01:05.3519 (124.385)
2. (12) Will Power, Dallara-Chevy, 01:05.5359 (124.036)
3. (9) Scott Dixon, Dallara-Honda, 01:05.7051 (123.716)
4. (25) Marco Andretti, Dallara-Chevy, 01:05.8566 (123.432)
5. (83) Charlie Kimball, Dallara-Honda, 01:06.4415 (122.345)
6. (10) Dario Franchitti, Dallara-Honda, 01:06.5854 (122.081)
7. (19) Justin Wilson, Dallara-Honda, 01:05.9405 (123.275)
8. (77) Simon Pagenaud, Dallara-Honda, 01:05.9412 (123.273)
9. (78) Simona De Silvestro, Dallara-Chevy, 01:05.9621 (123.234)
10. (16) James Jakes, Dallara-Honda, 01:06.1778 (122.833)
11. (55) Tristan Vautier, Dallara-Honda, 01:06.3379 (122.536)
12. (5) EJ Viso, Dallara-Chevy, 01:06.4071 (122.409)
13. (27) James Hinchcliffe, Dallara-Chevy, 01:06.2198 (122.755)
14. (7) Sebastien Bourdais, Dallara-Chevy, 01:06.1856 (122.818)
15. (3) Helio Castroneves, Dallara-Chevy, 01:06.2280 (122.740)
16. (14) Takuma Sato, Dallara-Honda, 01:06.1989 (122.794)
17. (18) James Davison, Dallara-Honda, 01:06.2839 (122.636)
18. (4) Oriol Servia, Dallara-Chevy, 01:06.2109 (122.771)
19. (67) Josef Newgarden, Dallara-Honda, 01:06.5334 (122.176)
20. (11) Tony Kanaan, Dallara-Chevy, 01:06.2537 (122.692)
21. (6) Sebastian Saavedra, Dallara-Chevy, 01:07.0895 (121.164)
22. (15) Graham Rahal, Dallara-Honda, 01:06.4002 (122.421)
23. (20) Ed Carpenter, Dallara-Chevy, 01:07.4107 (120.586)
24. (98) Luca Filippi, Dallara-Honda, 01:06.8757 (121.551)However the pace of series debutant Luca Filippi has been eye-catching. He will start last but would have been on the second row had he not lost his fastest times because he caused a red fag:
So, P4 in my qualifying group. But I caused a red flag and I lost the best 2 times. So I will start last. I feel so sad,but we had the speed

3rd August 2013, 23:13 at 11:13 pm #239716JackySteegParticipantThat’s a real shame about Filippi but it’s wonderful to see him up to speed already. Does anyone know if he’s a permanent replacement for Tagliani or if this is just a one-off?
4th August 2013, 5:34 at 5:34 am #239717sushant008Participant@jackysteeg No, he is not a permanent replacement. But Tagliani has been asked to relinquish his seat to test at-least two rookies. Its not confirmed whether Luca will be back for next race or not.

4th August 2013, 12:12 at 12:12 pm #239719karter22ParticipantAwesome track but that pit entry would be considered dangerous to F1 standards… A lot could go wrong and have a car chopped in half! Scary thought.
4th August 2013, 14:01 at 2:01 pm #239720mildertduckParticipantLooking forward to this one… hoping I’ve worked the times out correctly and it’s at 8pm UK time?
4th August 2013, 15:34 at 3:34 pm #239721sushant008Participant@mildertduck – Yes, it is 3pm ET, which is 8pm UK time.
4th August 2013, 22:06 at 10:06 pm #239722Keith CollantineKeymasterNice win for Kimball – particularly the move on Pagenaud when they were behind Viso. But Franchitti and Dixon must be feeling a bit foolish for letting that one slip from under their noses. Useful damage-limitation from Castroneves.
