The Scott and Kyle show will be fun to watch on Lap one, at this race start. Those are 2 POLE cars... that will hit turn one and into the short shoot, being followed by 31 others... GO, Go... Go...! Look inside Kyle, and smile. 500 to go
Brings a tear to this old guys eye ,seeing that yellow Penske, Pennzoil car. Watched Rick Mears 40 years ago with my uncle on the farm in Saskatchewan. Great memories. We'll done kids
From me in Melbourne CONGRATULATIONS SCOTTY what a killer drive that was. That was so good and so exciting to watch. Loved watching you in the V8’s and I love watching you in Indy cars to mate well don’t go get the 500 win and on that top step 🤙💪
Gawd that place must be just electric for this. I legitimately got goosebumps listening to this call! I wish I could have been there for this, probably would bring a tear to my eye. Kyle Larson brought me here!
Was only a couple of years ago think a goldfish probably would even remember imagine Scott and Shane as a wildcard at Bathurst even after this long out after practice they'd be both at the top in a dieing category
I remember the year Whincup Trashed Scotty’s fabulous Volvo V8 run with an extremely dangerous redress manoeuvre that had he waited probably would have Seen Scotty Win … but he persevered and won a few … keep it up Scotty !
I became a Scotty Mac fan several years ago when I watched him beat Shane Van Gisbergen to claim his first SuperCars title. When I heard of him leaving SuperCars and going IndyCar racing, I knew what was going happen and this is the first step, win next Sunday? I hope so, he has earned it. GO SCOTTY MAC!!!!!!!
@@Hudstable But SVG is the better driver ;) Have watched him step out of a WTAC ito a drifter and decimate, he drives everything. And im a Big Mac fan since his early days in the Volvo Both amazing
@@B-A-L The both new Supercars were dying thou, few others have left also. The New Gen cars are not what it ever was about. But yes, how good if they both could still be battling ;)
Going to have to agree with you. Been going to the track since I was 17, currently 62. Now they say. New pole record. What have you got for me. Totally understand where you're coming from.
Congratulations Scott on the fastest lap record and Will for the top 2 fastest. As an Aussie from Adelaide It is fantastic to see you guys doing so well. Keep up the great work!
Us Kiwi's all new he was a special kid when he started in V8 Supercars and I'm so proud to be a Kiwi watching him go from dominating Supercars to now being at the start of the grid at the Indy 500! Very proud kiwi moment, this is only the beginning!
Fastest submarine in the world, Well done Scotty Mac. Last time Penske locked out the front row the Yellow Submarine won from Pole, Omen? Go the Thirsty 3's!!!
This was the best Indy 500 qualifying ever with the Thirsty Three front row and Kyle Larson doing what he does best!! Awesome period!!! Power will get his pole next year for sure.
Honestly Indy qualifying is special but that lap was something else. You knew that was something special it just looked spot on. A thing of beauty. Reminds me of why I love motorsport. Poetry in motion.
Will Power thought Scotty could of trimmed it more after his run, so if he did it would of been quicker again. Mind boggling how glued the yellow submarine was to the track.
Not to take anything from scott but I’m anxious to see Larson in the race. He’s still really green in an Indy car. But he wins in anything he drives. A multi generational talent.
It's so nice to see the lads from Australia and New Zealand showing their skills in the U.S. The audience for racing here is quite niche, despite the V8 supercars' popularity. I'd like to keep seeing more of them compete and show their mettle to the Yanks.
Legit racing talent with the best team behind him. Mad respect Scotty Mac! Go search RUclips for his V8 super car highlights. Dude has balls and talent👊🏻
It’s time to start talking about Scott at least getting an F1 test. He’s extremely talented and 31 isn’t old these days with how fit drivers are. When he was in Australia he managed his own career. He needs someone to get him over to Europe now
Coming out of 2, on lap 2, ...the tail wiggled stylishly, and he kept the Throttle buried for a back stretch fast run... Indy is everything in May for Old Guys who have gone there their whole lives, both on TV, and in the stands, it is the GREAT AMERICAN RACE
Alright scottie! When you left supermarket, I wondered if that was a good move. Your first year with indy was a complete success, and now this. Good job mate.
Well done Scott. You did better than when you were driving on the Goldie and you left part of your suspension on some dudes balcony. That's the record set for the furthest piece of a car thrown in a crash on the Gold coast since the Indy incarnation. Highest too.
Yep agree, if he can drive those V8 super cars on our winding tracks and over mountains back here in Oz he will certainly kill it just going around in circles.. All he needs now is a reliable car and bad un-cooperative drivers to stay out of his way.
The cream rises to the top, from V8 Supercars to Indy 500 pole. SCOTTY MAC
wasn't that long ago he hadn't driven open wheel .... 😱
Pure talent 🤙
The Scott and Kyle show will be fun to watch on Lap one, at this race start. Those are 2 POLE cars... that will hit turn one and into the short shoot, being followed by 31 others... GO, Go... Go...! Look inside Kyle, and smile.

ooooh yeah
Brings a tear to this old guys eye ,seeing that yellow Penske, Pennzoil car. Watched Rick Mears 40 years ago with my uncle on the farm in Saskatchewan. Great memories. We'll done kids
He's going to be wearing a replica of Mear's fire suit for next weekend's race as well...get some spare handkerchiefs ready!
@@codymoe4986 Can't wait, getting beers and BBQ ready for race day 🍻🍻
I always loved the way Rick Mears lit up the track on Pole Day. Great memories from past years! Glad to see the Pennzoil car burning up the track!
Does anyone know what happened to Arie Luyendyk's 1986 record qualifying speed of 236.989.
@@blakeshroyer627 nope, just Rick Mears winning 4 Indy 500 races
As an Aussie all I gotta say is, well done New Zealand, well done.
Gotta love that Australian/NewZealand combination.
ANZAC for life
@pat4711 - NZer here - good on ya mate!
some of the best drivers in the world come from these 2 countries.
You're a Kiwi Scotty, just like us. Congratulations from an Extremely proud New Zealand 🇳🇿 👏.
Yeah boi.😂
He’s just like us … but 8% better.
Great Scotty Great...well deserved.
chur chur
As an aussie i claim him 😆
376.935 km/h average is mindblowing🤯
Gil de Ferran 388.54kph average California speedway closed course world record
@@joshherman4214 RIP to Gil and the California Speedway. That was only a 2 mile oval too instead of 2.5
Big difference between California Speedway and Indy .
Absolutely awesome job Scotty!!! Well done Will too! Would love to see Gizzy have a go! Down under boys rule👍😎
@@joshherman4214This is Indy though for the 500. Much flatter and slower track that Fontana.
I think it's fair to say that he gave it some jandal! That was a monstrous run.
Plucked it in first, gave it the jandal, f yeah!!!
I hope he had a beer in the chilli bin 😂
@@BarraCartel I think he let a cheeky Fbomb go when the mic was away from his face at 4:59 =D
and a little Cheatske push-to-pass
From me in Melbourne CONGRATULATIONS SCOTTY what a killer drive that was.
That was so good and so exciting to watch.
Loved watching you in the V8’s and I love watching you in Indy cars to mate well don’t go get the 500 win and on that top step 🤙💪
the mind boggles at covering a mile in just about 15 seconds, NY to LA in under 12 hours!!!
Scotty Mac ... the biggest balls in racing!
McLaughlin could be the next JPM in IndyCar.
Have always admired Scottie Mac since his Supercar days. You've come a long way,Scottie! Well done!
Still giving it the jandal!
Watching Scottie Mac during the Aussie V8 Supercars is the reason why I started watching Indycar!
I think we are in for a real special Indy 500 this year, especially when you got that Rick Mears livery leading the field to green!
This guy is simply pure talent, big balls and commitment.
He will become a legend in the sport
Such a cool guy! Happy for Scottie Mac!
Gawd that place must be just electric for this. I legitimately got goosebumps listening to this call! I wish I could have been there for this, probably would bring a tear to my eye. Kyle Larson brought me here!
Welcome hope u enjoy.
Who else remembers him dominating v8 supercars?

Those years of svg vs Scotty Mac in supercars was some of the best racing I've ever had the pleasure of watching
@@Hudstable But SVG is the better driver ;)
Have watched him step out of a WTAC ito a drifter and decimate, he drives everything.
And im a Big Mac fan since his early days in the Volvo
Both amazing
@@JestaBl1tz scotty dicked him down for those three years, gizzy only started dominating when scotty left for america, supercars was too easy for him
I wish SVG had gone to Indycar instead of NASCAR. Would have been great seeing him and Scotty Mac renew their rivalry.
@@B-A-L The both new Supercars were dying thou, few others have left also.
The New Gen cars are not what it ever was about.
But yes, how good if they both could still be battling ;)
Marvellous - Power and McLaughlin my absolute favourites!
ANZ represent!
ANZAC Thunder from down under
That is just INCREDIBLE! Love to see drivers perform so well in multiple disciplines like Scotty and Kyle! They’re two of my podium picks for sure!
Great qualifying.
NEW ZEALAND REPRESENT BABY!!!!
Fastest man in Indy 500 history... Missile McLaughlin
Mind blowing 🤯 Wow.
You mean Arie Luyendyk you know the 236 in 96.
Going to have to agree with you. Been going to the track since I was 17, currently 62. Now they say. New pole record. What have you got for me. Totally understand where you're coming from.
@@leegraves8878 Wasn't a pole time, 2nd day.
@@Budweiser8Jr Fastest man in Indy 500 history. No he isn't fastest man in indy 500 history.
As an all round racing fan from NASCAR to open wheel, I love seeing stuff like this.
Congratulations Scott on the fastest lap record and Will for the top 2 fastest. As an Aussie from Adelaide It is fantastic to see you guys doing so well. Keep up the great work!

Fastest submarine in the world, Well done Scotty Mac. Last time Penske locked out the front row the Yellow Submarine won from Pole, Omen? Go the Thirsty 3's!!!
This was the best Indy 500 qualifying ever with the Thirsty Three front row and Kyle Larson doing what he does best!! Awesome period!!! Power will get his pole next year for sure.
0:17 Johnny Rutherford won the 1980 Indy 500 in the yellow Pennzoil sponsored car.
He is awesome! Go Scotty
WTG TEAM PENSKE. Been my favorite team since 1978 when my dad began working for Roger.
I would love to have seen the smile on Mears face, he must've been so proud seeing that scheme he made famous...
Congrats Scotty Mac. I’ll be there with The Yellow Submarine and all the Drivers at my First Indianapolis 500. Let’s Go!!!
Scott McLaughlin, Shane van Gisbergen, Nick Cassidy, Mitch Evans (Formula e), I must admit that Kiwis are quick. 😱
Congratulations to McLaughlin! It's officially 500 race week!!! 🎉🥳

That's ok. We're all interested in him, but Thirsty3s Rule!❤
@otaviofrn_adv Let's go Helio!!
Right he just has the drive like dale sr and Richard petty had in my eyes
Pole record YEEHAW
Incredible and amazing!!
New Zealand stand up! Your boys are becoming the fastest in the world.
Not the First Flying Kiwi, just part of a great Legacy …
I think Burt started the trend....
Been watching this guy since his days In Dunlop Series and NZ V8 Supertourers. Always knew there was something special about him.
When the race is on you NEVER know what's going to happen.
This one’s for the fans who grew up with him through V8 Supercars…
He gave it a bit of handle and F*CK YEAH!
Jandal?
Awesome stuff Scotty Mclaughlin ❤ kiwis doing the unbelievable 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇳🇿🇳🇿🤝🇺🇲🇺🇲🦘🦘🍻🍻🥝🥝🇳🇿🇳🇿
This was a great run!!
When Scotty Mac is focussed and on it, his pure speed, control and opportunism are breathtaking. Reminds me of Zanardi in his prime.
Congratulations to Scott. But all eyes on Larson. Iching to see him stay up there in the race.
It's so nice to see the lads from Australia and New Zealand showing their skills in the U.S. The audience for racing here is quite niche, despite the V8 supercars' popularity. I'd like to keep seeing more of them compete and show their mettle to the Yanks.

It's nice to see the yellow submarine back on the pole. Rick (the rocket) Mears will be proud.
Got the pole. Now go get the win!!!! #Thirsty3s
Not my favorite team or driver but an incredible run all the same. Congrats!
🏁Enjoyed!!!!!!🏁
SCOTTY MAN LETS GOOOOOOOO
Here I am a good two weeks after the 500, still watching this religiously
That’s what we call a bit of Jandal 🩴 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🥝🥝
So smooth, great drive. Go Scotty.
Up the Anzacs
They are not soldiers. Leave Anzac to the real heroes
@PaulA-bv1rt Anzacs is OK. If you are referring to the soldiers, then it is ANZACS (all capitals).
Military acronym ....no association with racing cars.
GO SCOTTY MC!!!!! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!! THIS PROVES KIWI'S CAN DRIVE ANYTHING AND BE THE BEST!!!! 1:38 LISTEN TO THAT CROWD!!!!!!
Rick Mears is the man ! No one will ever compare in my book !
It’s time to start talking about Scott at least getting an F1 test. He’s extremely talented and 31 isn’t old these days with how fit drivers are. When he was in Australia he managed his own career. He needs someone to get him over to Europe now
GO FOR INDY 500 WIN, MCLAUGHLIN-SAN!
Nothing short of his natural talent. Penske put him in that car for a good reason.. Scotty is built for this type of acclaim..
He was going so fast and what a good qualifying run for Scott McLaughlin and Team Penske. And he has his wife with him seeing history in the making
History in the making 😮
Can't say that I've ever watched a full Indy race but that was a very very sweet set of laps.
Always knew you would do it. Your talent was never going to defeat you
Onya Scotty, G'day from oz. You did it at Bathurst. Well done mate!!
Congrats!!! Awesome drive!!!!
Congratulations Scott.
Team pensk dominated
That was a Rick Mears-like clutch pole run today. Well done Scotty Mac

Awesome job Bro! Sweet cuz👍👍👍👍
Scotty Mac is gonna have the fans down under glued to the 500.
Let’s see the onboard tho please 🙏🏾
This dude is a legend already!
Leigh Diffey is such a great commentator, and Scotty is a full talent. Excellent bit of motorsport right here.
The flying Volvo guy shines again. Well done, mate.
Ah that Volvo was beautiful wasn’t it
@@goodtimeblimp yeah, sounded good too. Miss those days of the V8s
I get chills still hearing Leigh and hinch reacting to the first 234 lap
You absolute legend, Scotty! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Congratulations Scott. Man, "that's movin"!
And the guys from the booth were shocked to hear about the speed. Leigh Diffey, Townsend Bell and James Hinchcliffe
Good on you Scotty Mac 👏 👍
get it scotty!!
He did the exact same thing at bathurst. Scotty is the real deal and always has been this is realy no suprise for us aussies. Watch out 🇺🇸
Alright scottie! When you left supermarket, I wondered if that was a good move. Your first year with indy was a complete success, and now this. Good job mate.
Supercars!!
Great Racing young Man, you are another Legendary Fflying Kiwi ! Go Scotty !

He's got the pole - now for the race!
Memories of Mears dominating way back then. 😀👍
bravo bro
Goosebumps
Pennzoil ultra platinum ! good stuff !
Great runs for all the top 6. That was mind blowing. Just made it in from the track. R+R Fantastic 👏😊🤗❤🏯
Roger , so dedicated to racing. He’s the Boss like DeCoster is man.
Haters Gonna Hate
Indeeed
Elaborate
Absolutely because McLaughlin, Power and Newgarden are going to be race winning contenders.
Using the word "hate" a little freely .
