Indy 500
 

Everything I'm seeing today is positive for all of racing. Love the huge crowd there. Let's hope for a safe and thrilling race. Also, I'd love to see a top 10 by BC.

i'll never see another crowd like that....DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!:6:

Re: Indy 500
 

Looked like the best side by side start in a long time.

From the pics I saw from the Indy fairgrounds and from what I saw last night at the Little 500, this may be the best race weekend in a LONG time.

Clean start and first 20 laps. You can't beat that.

Just a few here and there.

BC's pit crew is way too slow

Re: Indy 500
 

I have to admit, I glossed over the starting lineup and didn't even notice the name Alexander Rossi.

Great drive BC.

Somewhere, Aggie is smiling.....#ol'98.

Keeeeeeep cryin Helio.. You've already won it.. My lord!!! LOL

I really think Rossi is destined for big things. The kid has a lot of talent.

IMO he should be wheeling one of the Haas F1 cars unfortunately for him he wasn't as connected into the Ferrari pipeline as Gutierrez was.

BC finished 23rd, was running at the end, and led the 100th lap of the 100th Indy. Not bad for a dirt hero and once a year Indy car driver. Great to see him in the race today and a big thanks to his sponsor and owner for giving him a ride.

Hey Dirthawk92 why do you watch the 500 if all you see is negatives about the race?? Were you there or just a whiney XXXXhead?:11;

Hey, at least they managed to get all four tires bolted to the rotors each time. We can't say that for Lazier's team.

Was at the track yesterday. Race was great. Battle between Hinch and Hunter-Ray was awesome. Glad to see Rossi win but would like to have seen him win straight up rather than a fuel mileage race. I still don't understand the appeal of nascar after seeing the number of passes at the 500 yesterday. When you talk Indy car or sprint cars for that matter to nascar fans it is like you are speaking a foreign language. I sat in the traffic yesterday it was well worth it. Thank goodness for open wheel racing.

I've watched all the races since 1964 or so and this was one of my favorite finishes.
I'm not much for fuel saving and such but the race was won the American way by a American. Hard work, get a break and roll the dice. Cry a bit in the car.
That teams win shouldn't be diminished because of how he won.
It was a perfect race day for us too. After the 500 we raced speedway and my boy won all his races, my daughter was in tears. The "Hillbilly Hotrod" wreckers or checkers and my daughter gets emotional, lol. Pretty cool in small time America. No crashes for us, and the medics didn't have to move all night. Its such a huge contrast a 500 mile race followed by races that last about 48 seconds. It's always my favorite race day.

What a great day and race at IMS. I'm a dirt guy for sure, love the champ cars on the miles, can't wait for USAC sprints to get to Granite... but man there is something about IMS

The 500 just keeps getting better every year! Watched every lap, made the short walk to the car, had a great supper at Gray Brothers, and finished the evening with the sprints, mini sprints and modifieds at TSS! Ready to do it again next year for the 53rd consecutive year!
