Wow - really anxious to see a 2020 Indy 500 - possibly the first major Indy car racing event of 2020 ! ! !

Pushed back till August - it will likely be strange to see empty stands instead of the
usual 500,000 plus people who normally attend...

Money on team Pensky....

Hopefully they can have fans By the time they run. I really wanted to head to Alabama and watch them run and then see
Jimmy Johnson year one after the race.

Marco Andretti - gets the 2020 Indy 500 pole position...

Team Foyt and team Andretti - still out there competing...

Even if it is their grandkids and great grandkids....

Cool to finally watch the Indy 500 - even if it is late and no fans in the seats....

Over 130,000 fans - socially distanced - LOL - at the 2021 Indy 500....

It normally houses over 500,000 fans and has been historically the largest
human gathering on the planet each year....

My favorite driver won again - we got to see Helio win in 2009 in person
and chat on pit road before that race....

Coolness....

Hadn't seen these posts before. I've done 2 of the Indy 500's, one was the 100th running. Took the travel trailer and stayed in the turn 4 premium lot with 50 amp power. Scratched that off my bucket list. Lots of people and lots of heat. It's the midwest Mardi Gras.
This summer I did the Knoxville Sprint Car Nationals in Iowa and the Tony Bettenhausen 100 at Springfield Illinois.
I'll say Kyle Larson is the finest race car driver I've ever seen.
