Yep is seems racing in general is taking a hit with the fan base. Yes some tracks are doing better then others but like I said in general not so good as of right now maybe if the weather gets better the front gate might get better. Lets cross our fingers because if not well we all know what might happen.

"Indy 1000 anyone?"

TV will never go for that.

Nope, the TV ratings for the 500 suck and why would anyone want to listen Marty Reid, Scott Goodyear and Eddie Cheever for 6 hours.

Great race. Congrats to Kanaan. As far as g=w=c=, I just wish the last 10 laps had to be green. Not after a gimick or anything like that. As for you guys saying the Indy 500 is not the Indy 505 many people do not see it as the Indy 495 either. Great race love it that Kanaan got the win.

I don't think my Heart could take 500 more mile of a race like that.

My 49th consecutive, and one of my favorite 500's. I don't remember seeing another 500 that featured as much intensity as this one. Sure, a green flag finish would have been great, but I have no complaints. A G-W-C finish should never happen at Indy! Keep doing what you're doing!

My only problem with the 500 experience is Bump Day. Used to be my favorite afternoon in racing. Now just a practice day. Oh well
Still a great race!!
