Indy 500 today :)

Covid delayed Indy 500 today with empty stands and new Penske ownership. I've been there once and watch every year. Marco Andretti on pole...lots of fast rookies and previous winners. Takuma Sato P3 in front row should make for an interesting start and first turn. Rooting for Ed Carpenter and Marco....edit...almost forgot Fernando Alonso....would be great to see him win.

Being from right up the road, When there is an Andretti racing, I always root for them.

And the crowd goes.... wait, the stands are empty
Should have told the Sturgis folks to swing by on their way home!

NO hockey til tonight. Favorite NBA team played last night. I usually only watch the beginning and end of the race, but today I might watch cars going in a circle for more than that.

Cars and driving have turned out to be probably the thing least disrupted by the pandemic. Pretty easy to do while maintaining social distance. Same goes for bike/cycle riding..

How anticlimactic... 5 laps to go with a really sweet shootout set up and then Rahal's 3rd car wrecks ensuring that Rahal's other two cars finish first and third. No, I don't believe Spencer Pigot wrecked on purpose as part of some master team Rahal plan. Still kind of lame that's how it worked out though..

What a bummer. I was pulling for Ferruci. Hi grandfather was my tailor in New Haven, CT. Mr. Ferruci was a teammate of Fausto Coppi back in the day (way back in the day).

Would have been great if his grandfather taught him some manners and class...

How F2 Driver Santino Ferrucci Dismantled His Racing Career in One Weekend

Texting while driving his racecar and requesting a #MAGA livery are two of many obnoxious things Ferrucci did.
