Seems redundant with tomato sauce. I'd spend the extra ingredient on sausages or something.

drat that Shell scheme is sexy. Rahal had the best looking team back then with that and the Miller Lite car.

Remember last year, where Logano's throwback for the Southern 500 was based on the damned Porsche 962? Huh.

Helio should be rotating between this scheme and the Pennzoil nuclear banana as long as Penske has the sponsorship.

Maybe Shell doesn't really like NASCAR but keeps sponsoring due to their relationship with Penske's automotive empire, so they try to troll NASCAR at every opportunity.

Indy is easily the best large city in the Midwest after Chicago and MSP. Now, I realize that "better than Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, and St. Louis" is the lowest of bars, but worst place in the country it is not. It's 800 miles from Florida!

Besides Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul I'd probably rather live in a college town like Madison or Ann Arbor than any of the other midwestern cities.

MIS used to be a race of attrition and I don't remember any memorable races unless they did the gimmicky Hansford leapfrogging.

Commentary writing from David Malsher lamenting the lack of good atmospheres for many Indy races.


I like how the fans in the header photo are all wearing red hats, and presumably got comped tickets to go to the race.

Human Grand Prix posted:

Carpenter is an atrocious Road Course and Street Circuit driver. He wisely let somebody else take over the role.

He was actually respectable at the end of his road racing career, as in he was only a couple of tenths off from the next to last driver, rather than multiple seconds when he first started..

Literally the only good part of Indiana as a whole is the Speedway (and Main St), Mug 'n' Bun root beer, IRP/Lucas Oil Raceway, and that's about all that comes to mind. The only good non-racing thing the state has done lately was put in the Kokomo bypass on US-31 so that I can spend less time driving in Indiana.

The rest of Indiana could disappear and I wouldn't miss anything

Columbus has nice architecture, and Bloomington is supposed to be nice, right? The only place I've been in the state outside of Indy/Speedway is Terre Haute, which I remembered as being a total shithole.

including racetracks. pretty much every big event is getting kickbacks in some form from the state or local govt. free police, free loans, free utilities, or straight up cash like a lot of the old street races getting used for 'redevelopment'.
