Good morning Jason...I've been kinda following this post and your comments and although we have disagreed at times on other post I have thought all your comments have been spot on with this thread.

I'm not a big Indy or Nascar car fan. Big reason is I'm not a big pavement fan. Much rather watch racing on dirt, preferably Sprints. With that said though, I did watch the 500 and it was bc of 3 very specific reasons. #1 Kokomo got rained out. #2 they lifted the blackout. #3 although not a diehard Larson fan, I do respect him and appreciate him for what he does for the sport and the fans he generates which grows the sport. I also went over to a friend's house in which 12 people was watching the Indy500. Out of the other 11 people noone could tell you a single drivers name except Larson. Larson drew that entire family into the race simply bc he was racing.

Later after the race and into the night, Kyle, his wife, the pilot(s) fly into a storm trying to make it to Charlotte in time to still run some of the Nascar race. Clearly the guy was giving it all he had to try and run both races and become a part of history. It was incredible to follow and watch and had so many viewers that likely wouldn't have watched under normal circumstances. Larson clearly helped the sport and even TV ratings that day and night wether someone is a fan of Larson or not.

Following your post and media, it floors me that they have not gave him a pass/waiver/ whatever technical term one may want to use. My question for you sir being that I'm not huge into Indy or Nascar, is why do you think they are not or have not yet gave him a pass/waiver when clearly they have for others in the past?

Also I'm not a huge fan of bending and breaking rules for one particular person regardless who the person is, but this was a special part and piece of history and had it not been for uncontrollable circumstances involving rain at both tracks, Kyle would have never been late or missed any part of either race, regardless where he finished.
