Obviously you didn’t watch any of the pre-race activities. It was all about the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform. Every speaker extolled the fans to remember the real meaning of the day and to give thanks to all those that had died to make days and events like the race possible. There was a 21 gun salute. A presentation of the colors. A playing of taps. A fly over by F-16’s. The invocation spoke directly to the meaning of the day. A large number of activity duty service men and women were on the track being honored, they we’re given free tickets for them and their families to attend the race and given a trip around the track in Chevy pickup trucks to the roar and applause of the 350,000 spectators.

Don’t comment on things you know nothing about. It’s not a good look.

Thanks for the info. I don’t have cable so I couldn’t watch it. It used to be on antenna TV. I watched the Memorial Day Concert replay instead.
