Excuse me, THE GREATEST SPECTACLE IN MOTOR RACING!
Omg, Palou is out coming out of the pits! Veekay hit him!
Not quite half way though but close.
Crazy race!
Well, my favorite driver won, and I could not be happier.

We are still watching the replay because of the blackout here. 7 laps to go under a yellow flag. I’m dying. This has been an insane race. Thank God for all the safety features. Shouldn’t be much longer now before I find out who the winner is.
WOWWWW!!! Crazy race!!! Congrats to Newgarden!!
First time I’ve ever seen a wheel and tire get loose and sail right over the entire grandstand. Smashed up someone’s car in the parking lot, though - no spectator or worker injuries.
Had it gone into the stands it would have killed a half dozen people. There will be lots of hand wringing over this. But what would the fix be?
That was very weird, to say the least. So glad that no one was hurt.
There will be some who will say the race shouldn’t happen. That’s it’s a waste of gas. They will want to use electric vehicles. Can you just imagine?
Bobby used to complain about the greens keepers running him off the cart path at Murfield village.
What a tool.
Good for voting them out.
My memory of Danville is getting yelled at by the lifeguard for running around the public pool. My penalty was having to walk around the pool three times. That was 60 years ago. Funny what a person remembers.
It is funny what we remember. Certain things really make an impact on you. That’s how it used to be for sure. I know it’s grown up a lot since you were there. A friend of mine was raised here, moved away to raise her family, and then moved back 25 years ago. She says it has changed a lot.
The population is around 10,000 now. Unfortunately, one of the farmers died and left his land to a nephew that lives a few states away, so the nephew sold it to a developer. So now we are putting in new infrastructure to carry that new development of 2500. All the townspeople are PO’d about it. So there were two good reasons to get rid of everyone who voted for the development and against the Mayberry festival.
I know eventually people who live in the surrounding towns will get sick of that growth and move here. It’s only a matter of time. I just hope we can retain our small town values.
And if anybody's interested in Detroit Indycar, Grand Prix is tomorrow there is a new track actually downtown and something I've never seen before anywhere they have a left in right side of Pit Road there is a blue line running down the middle of it. www.tvracer.com has the TV Schedule for all racing.
there is inherent risk in going to any major sporting event...
catastrophic part failures are not foreseen
i was 4months old...
Every ticket I’ve ever had to race no matter what kind of race has a disclaimer right on the ticket that they’re not responsible for any injuries it may be incurred or whatever the lawyers speak on ticket was.
Also Gravity, Kinetics and Inertia have their own rules and they are not Negotiable.
And the Masses went WILD IN THE STREETS !!!
