these cars do not deserve to race at the Brickyard.
I’m a big open wheel fan, but Anonymous (hmmm) has it wrong.
What I wanted to say is that 28 curse was wicked and unrelenting.
I remember that race very well…I thought….’who is this kid’??
I was at this race, it was oen of the most exciting I have seen to me, but Glenstapo was thinking the same thign back then. The curse was just crazy. and I thought the same thing as the other benny, who is this new guy.
i was 8 when i went to that race! my bro is a die hard goooooordon fan because of that race. his favorite driver was whoever was winning, sooo he picked the colorful 2-4. good times down memory lane, haha.
oh my god…they must be doing 105 through the turns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(serious sarcasm)
The guy delivering the soda to the hospitality tent is moving faster in his golf cart.
I was also at this race. I ended up getting Gordon’s autograph (before the race)
on the program. I hope he gets another win this weekend!
Indy is for Fast race cars, open wheel race cars. NASCAR does not have a place there.
Wow, John you got Gordon’s autograph as a rookie that’s…good stuff
Yeah but open wheel sucks at indy well everywhere for that matter,its kinda odd dont ya think that the brickyard 400 draws in more people than the 500 has every year since 1994 tony george isnt stupid nascar will always be there.
No…not really. I think the average Nascar fan is odd.
Indy is the worst track in Cup next to Pocono and California Speedway. Its interesting that they both have inspiration from Indy minds. I don’t even like watching the IRL race at Indianapolis. Some things from the past should be left in the past. Too bad the best race Indianapolis had was the US GP and that is gone now. I do respect that everyone’s love of tradition has kept this track alive. I wish NASCAR had that same sense to keep Darlington and Rockingham in their rightful places.
No one likes watching the IRL at the brickyard, because it is half the open wheel talent pool.
Nascar should stay in their rightful place….the South.
Ernie was a helluva driver
