UPDATE: Alexander Rossi is awake and alert, and in good spirits following today's Practice 7 incident at @IMS, per Dr. Julia Vaizer, INDYCAR medical director.
The No. 20 driver is still undergoing evaluation in the infield medical center.
Just had some amazing and insightful time with Indy 500 pole sitter Robert Shwartzman. Incredibly, he has no backup car. Every lap, every run on the limit, set in the full knowledge he can’t afford to wreck. And yet… AND YET… no hint of hesitation.
@ClayTravis The best part is that once admission is paid you don’t have to spend another penny on the inside. Bring a backpack cooler to bring drinks and food in. No glass, but anything else is permitted. As long as the cooler fits in the area between your legs. Arrive early! Stay late!!
@contactTodd@ClayTravis Heard straight from a vendor that the reason for no lids. In the event the drink gets thrown towards the track, it will spill out before reaching the track.
