*Seeing Jack Hewitt qualify for the race in 1998 and his tears of joy in the post-qualifying interview

*"Indiana" Andy Hillenburg qualifying for the race in 2000, and same as above

*Stefan Johannson bumping Emerson Fittipaldi out of the field with a few minutes to go on Bump Day in 1995. That completed a shocking shut out of Team Penske and drivers Fittipaldi and Al Unser, Jr. I can't say I was too happy about Al Jr. being bumped out, though.

*Listening to the radio when I was young in 1992 and hearing the exciting play-by-play call of Al Jr. nipping Scott Goodyear at the line.

*The 2006 race finish of Sam Hornish and Marco Andretti

*My first Indy 500 I attended in 1998. Seeing the field come by my seat in turn one for the first time during the pace lap
