@larsen_terry I’ve been a life long Indycar fan with 30+ consecutive Indy 500s under my belt , starting when I was a kindergartener. Anyone who thinks this wasn’t a massive opportunity to grow our sport back to the place it deserves (where it was in the 90s) isn’t a true fan
@CMartin88@Rpeeters33 Long Beach is the 2nd major to only die Hard Indycar fans. This race , should it continue will be a career defining victory that will carry for more weight and prestige than a Lb victory
@champwebdotnet Talk about a downgrade going to RIR from the highs of the Freedom 250.Indycar just needs to make the Freedom 250 work. They have a golden opportunity to build a2nd marquee event capable of capturing a mainstream audience that delivers massive value to sponsors - don’t fuck it up
@matthewungar@McLarenF1@ZBrownCEO Zak is pictured with Lip Bu Tan- Intel CEO alongside Lutnick. Intel is not only a major McLaren sponsor but is also partly owned by the US govt (around 10%). Zak has an obligation to his share holders , employees and fans to rep and grow the brand . Chill out
@kenzmckey It’s always an overweight and or pale , terminally online creature without any joy , friends and purpose in life calling some of the most elite athletes on earth “dweebs” because they have the maturity and grace to compartmentalize politics
@Drew_Graves06@DLand91 Yea I’m sure the 10,000 ppl watching Imsa on peacock are going to rly detract from the biggest and most hyped sporting event of the month 🙄
@CrashGladys@IndyCar I think it grows bigger if they come back.I had tickets but elected to not make trek bc I want my own assigned seat in a grandstand. If they come back my friends and I are spending $500+ for a 3 day ticket , paddock pass etc.
This has the potential to be Indy’s 2nd major
@shimi_raikkonen Bigger, I had tickets & elected not to come because I wanted an assigned seat in a grand stand.
Charge $200 for a 3 day ticketed seat and I’m there and bringing 5 or 6 ppl
This has the potential to be an Indy 500 level calendar staple, multi generational event
@Rpeeters33 The last time Indycar has 3 majors, I was in diapers. Never happening again.
Normies don’t care about Mid Ohio or Road America or Barber.
But Indycar’s racing on themost hallowed grounds in the country? That’s a reason to care&a platform to introduce the sport to the casual fan
