But when I do watch, I often wonder if the guy with Nicole has ever actually attended an auto race.

In case you can't tell, yeah, this is sarcasm...For anyone curious, there were 61 race stoppages (cautions, etc.) on Saturday alone, not including false starts or incidents after the checkered flag had fallen. This is partially because a good many of the competitors are either inexperienced, or simply out of their element. Sure, you have the usual number of normal racing incidents, but there is an inordinate amount of time spent cleaning up incidents for competitors who probably shouldn't be there in the first place. Trust me, adding the "heel and toe" brigade wouldn't be of benefit to anyone. The notion of Indy Car Drivers racing "at the Chili Bowl is simply ridiculous.

Just my opinion...
