3 of the top 5 finishers in NAPCAR's recent "All Star" event have raced midgets, sprint cars, and Silver Crown cars! Can't say the same for the 500, now can we?
I went to Indy back in the late '50s and early-to-mid '60s. Didn't go again until the late '90s. Went then because I wanted Kim to see what the Indy experience was like -- I think all fans need to go at least once just to see what it is really like. We were lucky, there were a few drivers like Tony, Billy, Tyce, etc. we had watched race on short tracks many times.
Sure cannot say the same now.
IRL, a.k.a. Cart Light

BTW, where have you been hiding, Chris?
