Can anyone that would know explain why when Newgarden made this stop for an issue(fuel pressure), they didn’t touch the car or do anything until the right front changer motioned? Then just inserted the probe, took it out, held him, then released him? What can the stand learn from... that? JR Hildebrand || Anders Krohn || Charlie Kimball || Dalton Kellettshow more

Reading that it was a fuel pump, the probe would be inserted to push a burst of fuel in and attempt to get air/debris out of the pump. I’m no IndyCar mechanic, but I assume the only way to do anything at that point would be watch sensors and listen to the engine

No. 3 below is actually the biggest misconception for most agency owners.

I can explain. When he initially went into the pits, he’d been moving up through the field all day. I was cheering against him HARD all day. My wife said, “your negative energy is fueling him.” The next time around I enthusiastically cheered FOR him. He pitted & his day was done!

Probably had to do something in the cockpit with the electronics.

I thought about the hybrid too how they don’t touch them in IMSA. But, it’s routine? Looks routine? Thought it was odd.

@By_NathanBrown @DLand91 @tonydindy @BoziTatarevic can you help explain this?

If you find the onboard radio it’ll probably mention it

they did not want to win this year

he prob said something wasnt right, then they maybe thought it was a hybrid issue, when they realized it wasnt the hybrid they looked at the engine bay and found the fuel pressure thing

Probably put the fuel hose in to make sure it was full. As low fuel would also show up as low fuel pressure.

they would have dumped a bit of fuel, waited, then checked the collector. They must have initially thought issue was ok to send him back out but as we later found it was no good
