    I didn't expect that much drama and entertainment for a 40 lap exhibition at Indy, but that was thoroughly entertaining. I'm convinced that Little Al in his prime could have won the Indy 500 in a covered wagon, he knew how to get around that track. The performance by Mark Martin just cements his legendary status.

    That was when Tony George attempted to use a PEDS barrier to absorb the impact, however it did succeed in protecting Arie when he wrecked. It left a huge mess, so it was ditched. So he went to the university of Nebraska to develop of a a soft wall, that’s when we got the SAFER barrier. If anything good came out of the CART/IRL split, it is the advancements of saftey.

    Rumor is that the Brickyard will be replaced by another venue next season. Dismal attendance, and most of the drivers don’t like the track because it was designed and built for open wheel racing.
    I don’t like the direction NASCAR started taking a decade ago but in all fairness poor attendance isn’t all their fault. All major outdoor sports in the States are seeing fewer and fewer fans in the stands and there’s a clear reason for that and it isn’t ticket prices.

      The 2020 Brickyard 400 is scheduled for July 5th. It's the last year of a contract. Nascar and Indianapolis don't have an agreement for 2021 yet. Ironically, the pandemic might keep the race around for another year. It's not clear if the race will be allowed to have fans. Even if it does, the pandemic is a valid excuse for poor attendance.
