So who's watching the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500 this sunday?
First off for people with no clue, its not nascar, because indycars are much faster, more exciting, and also turn right(but not in this race).
It should be a good race even though Paul Tracy didnt qualify. There could be a historic 4th win for Helio Castroneves, a first win for Autralian Will Power or american graham rahal. Danica sucks and has no chance.
For the canadians, Alex Tagliani, from quebec is in the 2nd row and has a good chance to win.
If you weren't going to, you should turn on to ABC to watch the greatest spectacle in racing.

It's still just watching cars drive in a circle. I see nothing more interesting than nascar here.

Have you watched f1 lately. There is no passing and the racing is shitty. They made the fuel tanks too big with their idiotic new rules.
You need to get educated because you have no fuckin clue

rally cars are only cool cause they are on cool courses, but the racing isnt exciting at all because they are like hours apart on long races.
The indianapolis is one of the most historic, storied and sought after races in the world. It is the largest one day sporting event in the world.
If you have drivers that you like and you follow it a little bit, its exciting because indy is possibly the hardest course in the world to win on, theres a good bit of passing, and theres a lot of crashes.
Nascar goes like 190 around it, while indycar is going almost 230. (They used to go 240)
Oh, for you people that have no clue, indycar goes on street and road courses and has the most diverse racing schedule of any major racing series.

exactly why rally coverage needs to step up it's production and have shots with ghost images of multiple cars

exactly my point on why rally racing is mostly boring and is not close at all. Once you have to have ghost images like a video game, things are going well.
coverage still needs to be stepped up in indycar too

This takes place in Indiana, which is not the south. Southerners dont even like indycar for the most part. They like nascar. Most of the people there are from indiana, the midwest and other parts of the country and world.
Everyone has proved that they know nothing
Oh, and we have tons of stuff to do in the south, because its fucking awesome

nice, it used to be part of f1 back in the 50s. Also all the f1 greats that ran it...nigel mansell, fittipaldi, graham hill, mario, jim clark, jacques villeneuve
Takuma Sato used to race f1. He got 3rd place in the USGP a while back is starting in the back as well.

I like you. no homo
I have been watching indycar since i was born haha, really my dad has watched it forever, i named my first cat when i was 5 Indy.
Anyways, i probably wont be able to watch the race, because i will most likely be out of town, but i will be looking forward to the highlights and i will be rooting for graham rahal because bobby rahal was my favorite racer so i go for his son now. But i would like to see castroneves when too.
