For the first time in my life, I will be able to watch the Indianapolis 500 live. I know it might not seem like a big deal, but to those of us who live in the Indianapolis TV market it will be a treat! I have been to the race a few times, however the speedway isn't spectator friendly. All I could see were the top of the cars.

Little lounge bump as it seems your comment hasn't gained much traction. (See what I did there - racing...traction).

Anyway, enjoy the race. Only been to the track once and that was on the few golf holes...lol.

I have a few memories of being there at 7 years old in 1974 (man, I feel old just typing that).

Johnny Rutherford won... He was my childhood hero from then on. Finally got to meet him in person as an adult at a charity thing...

Enjoy the race!

We have always been TV "blacked out" around here. So the tradition in our area is to have a race day party, food and BBQ, and listen to the race on the radio. It will be cool to see it live on TV.
