Going to the race tomorrow, hopefully no rain. Anyone one else going? Rooting for Tony Kanaan too win his 2nd 500.

Go TK!

Go James Hinchcliffe, bring it home to Canada.

Last time I went was back in 1969.

Cars are simply too fast for these old eyes ... can see it better on TV.

Go Fernando Alonso.

I haven't been there in a few years. I used to have great reserved seats across from Pit Row. That was during the Danica Patrick days. If no one has ever been, there are two things to take away from watching it live. The speed of the cars and the sound of the engines. Earplugs are definitely required.Tremendous to watch up close and personal. Rains delays are bad at Indy. Hopefully, everything is good.

It's race day. Weather is fantastic, beer cold and it will be a great day to go racing.

Great race. Weather held up nicely. Near disaster early. Everyone finished the race in one piece.

That's amazing because the Dixon/Howard wreck looked bad.

Dixon was probably a foot away from a possible serious injury or perhaps a fatality. It's amazing to see how far the safety development of the driver compartment has gone. It definitely saved Scott's life.
