To what end? We play the national anthem, that should suffice. Every time one attends an event it doesn’t need to be a nationalistic show piece. And before the “you ain’t American crowd” jumps down my throat, as a HS administrator I initiated the saying of the pledge along with a moment of silence to start every school day.

I think the Pledge, Anthem, Proud to be a American, Yankee doodle dandy, Were a American Band, Hotel California should be prior to every show. Maybe even some Free Bird.

They DO sing: God Bless America, Back Home Again in Indiana, AND the National Anthem at the Indy 500...

Apparently they do TWO "National Anthems" at the Super Bowl and a lot of Basketball games I guess...

Good point about the 500 Jason
My two cents about reciting the pledge at the CB, go for it. Two minutes to honor God first and country is a great thing to do; and second it has nothing to do with incredibly drawn out Saturday night event.

One thing to consider about the long delay at the Chili Bowl. It may be needed to air out the building.

Excellent post! I have thought of that too. The late running doesn't bother me, but I do suppose for those watching on the East coast, it does push it...everyone should know how late it goes, year after year, and plan accordingly...

Re: Chili Bowl News

in the past they had giant fans near an open door in the area of turn 4 working to get fumes out. That may have been prior to mandatory track fuel. I haven't seen those fans in recent years. But the dust has risen to at least as big a problem as the fumes. It is really tough to see the cars in turn 1&2 from 3&4, at least in the high rows. But, I will be back until I can't. And miss the great guys that I have met there. Because they can't anymore. God speed to them all.

Nobody wants to race in it? LMAO. The car count was terrible this year wasn't it!:
