He decided to get petty that Alonso not to give an interview even though his guys told him he can't take interviews. Anyways annual reminder to listen to Dinner with Racers. Dixon knows Ice Ice Baby by heart and dished on IROC that it was like driving at your local go-kart track trying to get the good car, while you're stuck with the poo poo car. Oh and during the burglary at the Taco Bell with Dixon and Franchitti, first thing Franchitti thought it was Kanaan pulling a prank causing a ruckus.

I know I've mentioned this before, but for those at attend races I strongly encourage joining IndyCar Nation. You get a welcome kit with some merch, and with certain memberships you can enter for a chance at at-track experiences. Through the fanclub I've won two-seater rides at 3 different tracks (Phoenix/Iowa/Watkins Glen) and countless pace car rides. The reason I'm bringing this up is because they're doing a sale on memberships for the next few days. https://indycarnation.indycar.com/

I had this when it was called Indy Downforce during the post-unification years. It was pretty cool. At Long Beach we got pre-race grid walk access and we had a private gathering with Little Al, who told stories about testing the 500l at Nazareth in the snow. There was a raffle and I won an IZOD INDYCAR SERIES flag, which is nice to have now I guess? I wouldn't get it again though, unless I could use it at more than one race.

Why does this shop look so tiny? Is this the same warehouse which was basically a shack from that overhead view somebody posted months ago?

Yeah, probably. I think these are the same zoom level, but you could put Coyne's shop and parking lot into the part of the warehouse where AA keeps their haulers.

DCR's shop is roughly 9,600 square feet/891 square meters, not counting any space lost to offices and other interior stuff. Andretti Autosport? ~63,500/5900.

Aeroscreen testing coming in this preseason, after drivers get a look at it again and give input in December. http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/146021-indycar-aeroscreen-tests-expected-early-in-2018 Also I imagine this Alfa/Sauber deal kills the IndyCar Alfa dream  oh well.

Badge it as a Dodge instead! Sounds like there’s movement on that side of things, though. Thinking it’ll be 2019 when they’re able to get a new manufacturer in.

Yeah, I've been in there a few times   And yeah, they've got the GRC cars, the Lights cars, a couple sprint cars, used to have the ARX, all of the offices, machine shop, trophies, old show cars... Probably Formula E as well but I've never seen those in there. What's the biggest Indycar team that doesn't run other series at all? ECR?

I hear Wabash Brewing up on 79th expanded a little while ago. They made some decent beer.  Small world.

The idea of the crowd singing it is awesome, but they've signed the Chicago Blackhawks anthem singer to perform it again next year and he's awesome too. Rest in power, Jim.

Apparently Jim Cornelison, the Anthem singer for the Chicago Blackhawks, will sing it again next year: https://twitter.com/Anthem_Singer/status/936301024003985408 He's the only one to do it justice since Nabors left. (I Tweeted as much earlier today and he followed me.) For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNPyL73sqdk
