@BobKillman1@champwebdotnet Had a strong crowd last year and that race was moved to Sunday night less than a month before it happened. So we’ll see! I’m doing my part!
@MrNathan_Hale@DrMarkDHowell It was a terrible era. But at some point we need to move on. Sunday was my 35th 500 and I’ve never seen a better one. I’m thankful for what we have, because what we have is damn good.
@BobKillman1@jlcooke99 So true, Bob. I often watch the end of the 82 race and love it when Jim McKay screams “no one has ever seen this before at Indianapolis!!”Well, they see it every year now.
@johnrabe The Johncock - Mears race was a classic! I still occasionally watch the last 10 laps off YouTube. It made for great TV. The truth is though that virtually every race today comes down to the very end. It’s a great product. You’ll have to go soon. You won’t regret it!
The Indy 500 purse numbers are out, and they are WAY up.
— Felix Rosenqvist got $4.34 million for winning (up from $3.8 million for winner last year)
— Total purse was $30.9 million (!), up from $20.2 million last year.
— AVERAGE payout per IndyCar Series driver was $936k!
@Hickey93 This was a pretty unfortunate interview for Marcus. It’s the biggest race in the world. No one was going to just pull over and let him have it.
