I will say it’s kind of cool that the Indy 500 is the only race in the world doing 220+ now.
Not IndyCar at Pocono or Fontana. Not NASCAR at Talladega or Michigan. Not in Europe at Monza or Avus. Even Mulsanne & Daytona backstretch have chicanes.
The Indy 500 stands alone.
I’ve been to the Daytona 500, Le Mans 24, Daytona 24, Nurburgring 24, a dozen F1 grands prix, Bonneville, Pikes Peak, and a bunch more.
Nothing comes even remotely close to the incredible feeling of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. Truly unbeatable.
Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.
Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.
I think Max Verstappen did irreversible damage to Formula 1 by introducing people to endurance racing and Nürburgring. I’ve been glued to the TV for 3 hours so far, while in F1 I usually stop watching after 10 laps and end up scrolling through TikTok
