@LandonCoons @KevinLee23 @curtcavin Here's a question for Thursday from Todd Telford, the Pilgrim of Speed:

What are your thoughts about having two visits to Nashville every season starting in 2028? The calendar could really use an oval in April, and a street race closing the season would make for a great party.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

President Obama has a unique way of ROASTING Donald Trump without mentioning him by name, and it drives Trump nuts.

He just did it again, this time in front of every living president.

Watch this. 🔥

@RepThomasMassie I like it when you think independently of the GOP mainstream. Might it be the time to do that even more directly by rebranding as a #ConstitutionalConservative declaring as an independent? And since you have nothing to lose, why not go one step further to caucus with Democrats?

[Todd Telford - the Pilgrim of Speed @ImprobableTodd]

BMW had the pace to win the #LeMans24 but luck was not on their side. A true contender throughout, they proved that their victory at the WEC Round at Spa was no fluke.

Here's one of my images of their previous GTP incarnation from Laguna Seca.

@marshallpruett @JusticeBrosInc @TOMotorsports As we honor the memory of Dennis Reinbold, let's celebrate the tenacity and quality of his small, independent team. What are the factors that have made Dreyer & Reinbold Racing a continual threat for Indy victory, always capable of contending against the sport's big dogs?

[Todd Telford - the Pilgrim of Speed @ImprobableTodd]

@wbuxtonofficial I've written about #JRHildebrand throughout his IndyCar career for the #MarinIndependentJournal and Dennis put him in #Indy500 seats not because he brought the big check but because he saw the potential in JR's skills. He always got a competitive car.

Dennis is a true Indy icon.

[Todd Telford - the Pilgrim of Speed @ImprobableTodd]

Let's all raise a glass of milk to toast today's #Indy500! I'm hoping that each of the 15 real contenders get a chance at the limelight and we see the checkered flag after a long period of green.

Redemption, Cinderella story, perennial contender winning at last. Either will do.

[Todd Telford - the Pilgrim of Speed @ImprobableTodd]

@ZBrownCEO @ArrowMcLaren Milk should look great all over papaya. Let's hope one of your drivers has a chance to get drenched in it by their own hand.

@Sirius420Nova @RepThomasMassie @RepRoKhanna @RepMcGovern #Massie has a counterpunch available to him after Trump primaried him out of office. He can lead the #ImmediateFLIPMovement NEXT WEEK and get on KY’s Nov. ballot by declaring as independent and turning in just 400 signatures by June 2. https://t.co/hZLmJ1QZcZ

#Massie has a counterpunch available to him after Trump primaried KY's #House incumbent out of office. He can lead the #ImmediateFLIPMovement NEXT WEEK and get on KY’s Nov. ballot by declaring as independent and turning in just 400 signatures by June 2. https://t.co/hZLmJ1QZcZ

Please, @Holden_Culotta, consider the possibilities of getting Massie to lead the #ImmediateFLIPMovement THIS MONTH. He can trigger the complete reversal of the #Project2025BillionaireCabal's plan to kneecap the honorable functions of government aimed at helping American families

[Todd Telford - the Pilgrim of Speed @ImprobableTodd]

Thank you @Holden_Culotta for keeping us apprised of the GOP mainstream's fight against @RepThomasMassie. Don't you agree that perhaps this is the moment for #Massie to lead the #ImmediateFLIPMovement, declare as an independent, and caucus with Dems to fight this kleptocracy?

[Todd Telford - the Pilgrim of Speed @ImprobableTodd]

Look at how this move can bolster positions that Massie has already pushed for if he rebrands as a #ConstitutionalConservative. He can point to constant violations of both of those principles as reasons for this defiant path

He can stand for #FiscalConservatism and against graft

Hey #RSL_studio, hello from Northern California. I made my pilgrimage to #Nurburgring for the '79 1000K when the flame-belching Kremer Porsche 935 took the overall win. My question:

Any American drivers entered this year? Why don't we see more?

[Todd Telford - the Pilgrim of Speed @ImprobableTodd]

@RSL_Studio @24hNBR Hello and thanks for the #RSLN24 feed, enjoyed here in sunny California. Looks like I'll have something to satisfy my racing urges during lulls in #Indy500 qualifying this weekend. Have to root for that spunky superstar #MaxVerstappen for satisfying the itch.
