Me

Posted on 05/27/2018 8:19:49 AM PDT by God luvs America

The 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500- the greatest race in the world!!! Hometown and VP Pence family favorite Ed Carpenter sits on pole, the only driver to turn a lap in excess of 230MPH during qualifying. Marco Andretti has been strong the entire month of May but slipped in qualifying. Final race in the career of Danica Patrick, which will be covered annoyingly today. Gentlemen- Start Your Engines!!

“Final race in the career of Danica Patrick, which will be covered annoyingly today”

Richard Petty responding to some question about her NASCAR career a few years ago said something like: take away the publicity and tell me about the wins.

Wrecks are why a lot of people secretly watch. More interesting that watching cars go round and round. Heck, even cats get bored with the laser after a few minutes.

the 500 pre-race festivities to honor America are second to none...did you hear the Archbishop say “God Bless America”?

Don’t get between me and the tv today. My parents took me to The Race every year when I was young. No matter the politics and controversy, it’s part of my personal heritage. We were 3 rows back from the spot where Eddie Sachs was killed. I remember my mom grabbing me and hauling me away. Some years we were in the infield.

DirectTVnow, no coverage, FireTV and YouTube not getting along, no coverage. To view, use Silk Browser and it is on YouTube. There is always a way around these days!

Who sang “Back home again in Indiana” at today’s race? The late Jim Nabors used to sing it so well.

“102nd Indianapolis 500- The Greatest Race in the World!!”

Matter of opinion, I’ll take the Daytona 500!

I hope Danica does well, she has done a lot for the sport.

That said, I hope the fastest Honda wins, Scott Dixon a likely candidate.
