Indy 500 is doing opening ceremonies to a full house. Really nice anthem!
In Cup, tech inspection was before qualifying yesterday with no issues and cars were impounded after. So barring the "unapproved adjustment" bugaboo, no cars are going to the rear.
A guy crashed on pit lane after locking the rear and hitting the pit wall. All this while most of the cars were pitting for the first time today. Somehow they all avoided him.
I love heat racing so much that they have add one more to make the race take more time.
Indy car managed to have non-stop racing on the tube except for cautions. 4 hours, 34 minutes and 29 seconds is the estimate for the Coke 600. The Indy 500 took about 3 hours and 40 minutes.
FYI - Cup cars are slower than X-Cars at Charlotte because Nascar thinks slower cars will attract more brands to Cup. TV ratings will be interesting to compare for Cup and Indy.
