Love this thread. It brings me back to the time my knee-jerk reaction to a post from Mike about IndyCar caused me to apologize for not considering another point of view. Glad it happened though because I certainly do enjoy talking to him at the races when we get a chance. I certainly get the sentiment from full timers, but I don’t agree with it. No team or person is bigger than this event. Reminds me also of the second best racing quote I’ve ever heard, brought to mind by listening to Bob Jenkins on the Rip the Fence podcast. Al Unser Jr. in victory lane, looking to the heavens saying “you just don’t know what Indy means”. Bumping helped found “what Indy means”. Removing it, in my opinion, would take away some of that meaning.
