I am surprised ABC hasn't had the name of the race renamed. ;)
Wow I didn't realize Little Al went through such a bad time. :(
Wow look at Jim Neighbors! He looks pretty good!
Yup. He’s appeared at Indy 29 times: he sang “Back Home Again in Indiana” 15 times, lip-synced the last 14 times. :)
2 cars out,, no injuries..
Had a clean start and a race for a couple laps anyway.
Crash.....
He once again sang 'Back Home in Indiana'. It makes me teary eyed every time.
Guess we have to use "yellow" instead of yeller now huh?
LOL Awe. He did pretty good. A few years back he didn't sound so good, but I think that was when he was sickly, because he didn't look so good then either.
I was surprised today though!
Three laps done. Boy oh boy.
no official Indy 500 live thread today??
Indubitably! LOL!
and tires instead of tars.
and tires instead of tars.
whoa. slamfire.
gotta clean the mouse.
Three cars on pit lane but they are talking about the green already. Going now. That was fast.
.. lets see if these track workers do as well cleaning the debris as the NASCAR guys
