Summer is a great time to take a "Kiss the Bricks" track tour. The iconic tradition of winners kissing the bricks started 30 years ago at the Brickyard 400—this is your chance to participate yourself!

This Wilford Brimley “America Made the Indy 500” piece from the 2013 Indy 500 has always stuck with me. It’s just soooooo spectacularly well written. Give it a watch if you’ve never seen it or if it’s been awhile.

In tribute to Alex Zanardi, his 1998 CART championship-winning car is now on display in the IMS Museum's Welcome Center. The back-to-back CART champion in 1997 and 1998 is an inspiration to all in the paddock and beyond.
Those four laps in qualifying... honestly, nothing else even comes close.
This place is just different, there’s nowhere else like it also for everything it demands from us drivers.
Watching from the sidelines this year is pretty tough, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wish I was back in the car.
I’ll never take the chance I had to qualify and race here for granted.
I hope to be back out there fighting for it again one day.
Until then, I’ll be watching 👀
New analysis from @MeidasTouch details Trump's conflicting claims throughout his war in Iran:
Mar 3: “We won the war.”
Mar 7: “We defeated Iran.”
Mar 9: “We must attack Iran.”
Mar 9: “The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully.”
Mar 11: “You never like to say too early you won. We won. In the first hour it was over.”
Mar 12: “We did win, but we haven’t won completely yet.”
Mar 13: “We won the war.”
Mar 14: “Please help us.”
Mar 15: “If you don’t help us, I will certainly remember it.”
Mar 16: “Actually, we don’t need any help at all.”
Mar 16: “I was just testing to see who’s listening to me.”
Mar 16: “If NATO doesn’t help, they will suffer something very bad.”
Mar 17: “We neither need nor want NATO’s help.”
Mar 17: “I don’t need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO.”
Mar 18: “Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.”
Mar 19: “US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz.”
Mar 20: “NATO are cowards.”
Mar 21: “The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don’t use it, we don’t need to open it.”
Mar 22: “This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait”
Mar 22: “Iran is Dead”
Mar 23: “We had very good and productive talks with Iran.”
Mar 24: “We’re making progress.”
Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.”
Mar 26: “Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away.”
Mar 27: “We don’t have to be there for NATO.”
Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing
Mar 30: “Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences.”
Mar 31: Claimed a deal was “very close” and Iran would “do the right thing”
Apr 1: “We’ll see what happens very soon.”
Apr 3: “Something big is going to happen.”
Apr 4: Said Iran must comply “immediately” or face further consequences
Apr 5: “Open the fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
April 7: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will."
Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
