Who watched? Incredible race with a lot of strategy and very few yellow flags. Congrats to Helio Castronevas who joined the four-time winner club. Got to love his passion. Pretty good for an old guy too.

I haven't been in many years, but now that my kids are getting older, time to get some buddies together and start going.Pretty incredible race. Buddy of mine was lucky enough to be there
230 mph. Hyper tuned everything. Aerodynamic manipulation to gain advantages over your opponent mid race. The smallest mistake can be catastrophic. Just like any sport or motorsport, it's the details that make it exciting.Never understood the fascination with turning left over, and over, and over, and over.....
Boring.
Indy car is infinitely more exciting than NASCAR.230 mph. Hyper tuned everything. Aerodynamic manipulation to gain advantages over your opponent mid race. The smallest mistake can be catastrophic. Just like any sport or motorsport, it's the details that make it exciting.
That’s what my youngest and oldest son’s think about football. The same thing every Game, a winner and a loser 😎Never understood the fascination with turning left over, and over, and over, and over.....

I was on the edge of my seat for the last 10 laps with my heart beating out of my chest. Super exciting. Castroneves and Palau were exchanging the lead several times. I think tire freshness and slower traffic were the biggest factor at the end. Rahal was a favorite until his rear tire came off. Not sure if that was a bad pit stop or equipment malfunction. Either way it cost him the race and his tire nearly took out Daly who hit it dead on. Newer safety technology to the cockpit saved Daly's life. Years ago it would have decapitated him. Being there in person is far superior. Seeing those speeds up close is unrealNever understood the fascination with turning left over, and over, and over, and over.....

Yeah, I tried to watch some F1 until I figured out Mercedes wasn't going to lose. Whoever got to the front (Lewis) wins. Passing is nearly impossible. Lewis is great and all, but he's stupid if he leaves Mercedes.Last time I went to Indy was 1991 and saw the great Rick Mears win it once again. I always watched IndyCar growing up until they split into two. And they did a piss poor job of connecting with the fans. That's one area that NASCAR totally kicked their butts.
Started to watch Formula One after that. Some great years with Hakkinen, Schumacher and Villaneuve battling it out. And then Alonso too. Sadly, they got rid of fuel stops and the whole series has been a giant bore-fest in the last decade. Is Lewis really the best driver? He has the best car for sure and he should win every race unless he screws something up. It was the same deal with Vettel before him.
I found it exciting riding a school bus around the indy track230 mph. Hyper tuned everything. Aerodynamic manipulation to gain advantages over your opponent mid race. The smallest mistake can be catastrophic. Just like any sport or motorsport, it's the details that make it exciting.
I watched a show that said nascar went down hill a bit cause the cars became so expensive to make and maintain. and the drivers were no longer products of old school driving, and working their way up....they would just throw some rich guys kid behind the wheel.....I guess I understand most folks not being able to scrape together sponsors for multi million dollar operations...but as far as dads kid driving, (unless he was good) wouldn't turn out so well as far as wins/accidents..I used to say if it's on espn it's a sport. Yes I know hot dog eating and spelling bee.....
Espn doesn't carry NASCAR anymore just NBC and fox.
Never been to a NASCAR race in person but hopefully someday. I have been able to go to Kansas speedway for Indy car which also brought along NASCAR truck and ARCA. It was a blast.
Got to go into the pit areas. Met Rusty Wallace and Roger Penske. GREAT people and more than willing to take the time to talk to"regular" people
That would be golf and the NBA for me. 🤣That’s what my youngest and oldest son’s think about football. The same thing every Game, a winner and a loser 😎
I went to a winston 400 in richmond virginia.....I figured it would be boring.....well I hand the guy my ticket walking in thru the grandstands....and I walk up to the fence and a tire hit the fence right in front of me at musta been 90 mph..(that woke me up).it was like one of the worst crashes in the history of the track right in front of me....so I went found my seat and watched the rest of the race and I was surprised by the amount of gals there also. it was quite entertaining.I used to say if it's on espn it's a sport.
