    This is shaping up to be one of the best 500s in recent memory. Sucks so bad to not be there.

    Great driving from Helio to take the lead and ultimately the win.

    Late to this, but what a race. Really hoping IndyCar can capitalize on all these talented young drivers. Have to get a better TV partner.

    Lots of empty seats and the snake pit looked pretty small. Better than it had been, though. Hoping to get back on the horse in 2023. It’s sucked not going the last couple of years.

    I watched the last ten laps with my three year old glued to the tv. I can’t wait to bring him to the race just like my dad used to do with me. Probably 3 years to go, I’m thinking 6 or 7 for him.

    Same. My son turned 3 about 2 months ago and I’m going to take him to one of the Iowa Indycar races next month. I think I was 15 when I went for the first time to the 500. Got thrown off the deep end into carb day drunkenness and debauchery, Georgetown on Saturday night, and the whole bit.

    indycar starts this weekend in st. pete. honestly, this should be one of the most competitive, entertaining seasons in recent memory and a real step forward for indycar. penske is slowly but surely using its resources to improve the series. f1's popularity has helped a ton, as well.

    The Barber race here in Birmingham is always amazing. I was going to try to do Nashville, but I was pretty surprised how expensive it would be. Wasn't an unfair amount, but basically Barber is the price of going to a minor league game.

    Probably doing the Iowa Indy double. It’s going to be stupid hot, but I generally get indoor club tickets to get out of the sun when the race isn’t running. They’ve got some big name concerts each day, too.
    Might try to do the 500. Trying to do F1 Vegas, so that might burn all my race/game credit for the year with my wife. Iowa doesn’t count against my cap being local.

    Not a fan of the look of the aero screens vs the f1 style halo, but that may have made a difference in this. A couple years ago he’d have gotten wheldon’d

    Headed to the 500 Sunday, decided to get seats in Turn 4 with good view of front stretch, seems like these are highly regarded seats from a viewing perspective. Gonna listen to the radio broadcast through my 3m worktunes hearing protectors.

    That was feet away from being a huge tragedy. Looks like the tire caught the fence on the outside or possibly hit the parked vehicles. Either way tomorrows safety meeting just became #1 priority and a huge sigh of relief.
