That's what shocked / amused me about the ABC coverage was the non-stop sponsoring of EVERYTHING. They went through every single branded on-board camera shot. I wouldn't be surprised if every company in America had a sponsorship deal at Indy

Funny enough, even IndyCar's safety team is sponsored, because they have a full time team that travels with the organization for races instead of using locals.

Ok, they're sponsored by a company that makes equipment for firefighters to use in car crashes.

Honestly, your yank racing series loving blows and you should all be ashamed of it.

This being internet comedy website Something Awful dot com I dont know if this is a serious post but if it is, I'm going to bring up the point that how can someone only think their form of racing is good? I genuinely dont get it. That being said the Indy 500 the last few years has been the most exciting race from start to finish by a wide margin. Compare that to most F1 races where you can watch the opening lap then nap through the rest until you hear a commentator excitedly point out that Ferrari or Mercedes hosed up their strategy and/or hosed over their number 2 driver.

For the record, I really enjoyed the Indy 500 minus the excessive ads during a live sporting event and was dream crushed hard when Alonso died but Sato won so it was cool.

Definitely going to watch it again next year.

Flag truck was amazing and at the same time deserves to be ridiculed, hth.

How much would it cost to rent a plane to fly a banner message over Silverstone but instead of the traditional "Wenger Out" it'd be "Honda Out".

Anyone wanna chip in?

Stroll Out would also be acceptable.

Stroll will already be out by the time the banner gets there

Same here. The last 20 laps were some of the most exciting I have watched in a long time. The military worship and over the top nationalism was equal parts hilarious and scary

I get it. America is big scarry and dumb right now. But the "military worship" wasn't about dick waving. It was about honoring the memories of our fallen.

Not every racing event is like that.
