So who is going to sit and watch the Indy 500 parade? It's a big deal in our family. My parents are from there. We eat, drink and are merry. The longer the race takes the better in my view.

I dont know, I think given she is the first woman to lead the Indy 500 (history making event for women) and she was leading the race with 16 to go after a series of pretty serious blunders they gave her the coverage she deserved. I just loved hearing some of those radio calls to her, like "you can draft the pace car" and as she was running full rich with 16 laps to go and they called out "dont look back" makes you realize how green she is and how much raw driving talent she has. And while she spun the car on yellow with cold tires her recovery and composure to get back in the race was pretty damn impressive. Think about how much pressure she had on her not only being a woman, but a first time driver at Indy. I bet there were not too many women race fans across the country who were watching those final laps in their seats. I thought my wife was going to have a stroke! |
