DSC is right. ARRIVE EARLY, especially if this is your first Indy 500. You should be parked by 8am or earlier so traffic does not spoil your day. I-465 will jam up that early. For parking,...

Agree. Lincoln Park will post on Sunday for their next Saturday's races. Yet they can't post their results, especially if not listed in My Race Pass. That's a disservice to the teams and fans.

Thanks for posting the times. I was searching for that starting time info and finally found it, too.

Does Paragon qualify for this event? I don't see any info mentioning qualifying.

Great points on the crew diaries. Randall Edwards and his drivers on the late model side are both entertaining and enlightening. Race fans love the behind the scenes looks at a traveling team. ...

How ironic someone on IOW was also at the 1981 Winchester 400, or the Dri-Powr 400 back then. It certainly was a sad day. I can remember everything about that weekend like it was...
