I have never in my life complimented a team of announcers, but I must commend Bestwick, Cheever, and Goodyear for passing along useful and pertinent information to the viewer. That also goes for the pit reporters. The former drivers are usually good, Bobby Unser always being memorable, but these men are a very good team. Thank you!
THANK YOU for uploading the COMPLETE telecast of this race. I find sooooo many uploads of Indy 500s and other IndyCar races that do NOT include the pre race programming, but rather, they begin with the start of the engines, or worse yet, the pace lap. Even IndyCar itself has this very same video beginning about 10 minutes before the start of the engines. It's as if the people uploading the video assume no one cares about anything EXCEPT the actual race itself, so they just chop off the whole pre race. BUT, there are those of us who DO enjoy and even look forward to all the build up of that final hour before the start of the race. There are special features that I enjoy seeing that I might not see anywhere else, and they chop them all off, because they assume no one is interested in anything but the race itself. Indy is all about history and tradition. But those who upload these videos WITHOUT that hour of pre race programming do us and the speedway a great injustice. So once again, I wanna say THANK YOU for taking the time to upload every single second of this telecast from start to finish. Now if we can just convince everyone else to do the same.
lol, I just realised there is a golf course on the track, the masters need a day on this course when the indy 500 is going, I might actually watch folf for once, lol
Este es un récord histórico Juan Pablo Montoya pasó 15 años sin ganar la Indy 500 desde la unica vez en el 2000 y supero a A. J. Foyt (1967-1977) 10 años y a Gordon Johncock (1973-1982) y Al Unser (1978-1987) 9 años.
I still never get over how Sato gets blamed for every crash Yes he was on the outside on lap one but sage Karam has a mirror and two spotters he pushed him into the wall. Yes Sato was aggressive but it's not his fault.
Omg sameeeee, at first I said: what the hell is dixon doing? Shouldn't he be racing today? I had took a second look and found it was not him. That might be his long lost twin brother 😂😂😂😂😂
+Claudio Gomes - Watch a video of the 1992 Indy 500. On almost EVERY restart after a yellow flag, at least one car lost traction on their rear wheels and spun into the wall. Usually on the 2nd corner. It was an unusually cold day for the Indy 500, and the temperature problems they were having with their tires on a "cold restart lap" (such as every restart after a yellow flag) were just taking people out left and right. Even Roberto Guerrero spun out, in pole position, before the field even got to the first green flag of the race. I was there in '92, in the infield - inside turn #3. So MANY of the cars had spun into the wall, or blew their engines, that they only finished the race with 12 cars on the track. It's SO safe and controlled by a huge list of rules these days, it almost isn't like "racing" anymore. These days it's all about playing "follow the leader" for three laps until you can get a draft, and THEN if you pass the wrong way or pit at the wrong time... you're penalized. 25 years ago it was about putting the fastest car you could build on the track and NOT screwing up by spinning yourself into the wall or hitting somebody else. Today... it's about following every little rule like a good little factory worker who does their good little job by making sure that they follow every little rule. Indy used to be about RACING, to see who could put the best car on the field and who was the driver that would push that car for 500 miles to beat the other 30+ cars on the track. Today... it's all about being the "best" driver, who is the "best" at following every little rule, and making sure that you aren't penalized more than the next guy. Indy isn't Indy anymore. It's turned into an oval track to run F1 cars. And there's 20 years of people complaining about F1 not worth watching anymore because it's turned into a "sport" of making sure that you adhere to a thousand individual rules, rather than being the car that goes the fastest around the track.
+KOakaKO agree, isn't the point of racing, risk, speed, competition...does anyone care anymore. I know the driver's lives are important, but what's the use of watching this. especially with fuel regulations.
+Daniel Sandoval Since I made this comment (it was the first season I've followed) I've been watching more and more Indycar races (usually I follow F1), and I actually changed my mind about this. Although they do hit the wall often, the cars usually keep their forward motion and hit the wall in a low angle. The wall actually seems to work well as a safety element, as it was probably intended. Still, very impressive first time you see it! Great sport. Loving it!
Claudio Gomes Yeah, I think (sometimes) watching documentaries about how the design elements of high-level racing such as this have evolved over the years are as interesting as watching the races themselves. I'm still turned off by watching the teams talk endlessly about how they have intricate strategies to ensure they follow every little rule that's intended to slow the race down, But... Seeing things like how the walls are engineered to absorb impact, deflect in certain ways... how the fences are made to flex in certain ways and stiffen in other ways... how a tiny cube of carbon-fiber on the nose of the car can save a driver's life in a crash... how the tires are made to grip in ways that would have been unheard of 20 years ago... Stuff like that is fascinating, and educational. For instance, the documentaries about how Audi designed and built the diesel, and now diesel/hybrid, cars that have been winning at LeMans for the past, what, 8 years or so? The engineering behind that story is mind-blowingly complex, and probably never would have been predicted 20 years ago (a DIESEL race car? Never!)... but watching the explanations for how they did it is almost more interesting than the race itself. ;)
Another nail-biting race is about to unfold when a thought crossed my mind: "what about an Indy-E series - electrically powered Indy cars ? Formula E is already a huge success and pushing the boundaries, Indy racing could do the same. Why not ?
Great race.... was glad to see that will power didn't win... Haven't liked him since he shot the bad finger at the camera That's not a good steward of our great sport....imho....
***** And they where right to boo it IMHO. If they start changing the drink soon it will become Coca-Cola, just for the sponsor money, which would spoil the tradition. I'm really happy to discover this sport. Thx for the answer and to the uploader.

Omg, every flippin' camera has a sponsor and they have to say them all? I haven't watched this race live since CART cherry picked the IRL. I may come back someday if they ever get real cars.

No one knew this would be Justin Wilson’s last Indy 500. Rest In Peace
Dario looks like a natural in the vintage Lotus overalls!
What breath of fresh air to have Jon Beekhuis in the pits instead of Vince Welch.

Eddie Cheaver was too pissed to do a interview in 1999😂😂😂
Montoya is a fucking beast
1:02:41 I thought for a second it was Dixon singing.

I can't place all blame on takumo Sato.
Did sage Karams spotter tell him he was clear?
I say they are both equally to blame.... that's racing.....😁

1:03:39 - Start here to skip the hour's worth of pre-race bullshit.
BS? Honoring those who have fallen for YOUR freedom is such a travesty

Eo. 💛❤😨😄😋
Great race.... was glad to see that will power didn't win...
Haven't liked him since he shot the bad finger at the camera
That's not a good steward of our great sport....imho....
What is the music in the beginning of the video?
What's with the milk? No Champagne?
***** And they where right to boo it IMHO. If they start changing the drink soon it will become Coca-Cola, just for the sponsor money, which would spoil the tradition. I'm really happy to discover this sport. Thx for the answer and to the uploader.
+Mr Pibb Emerson Fittipaldi was that guy
+John Norberto Himself being a legend
+Mr Pibb The Milk was started in 1936 by Louis Meyer, at the start it was buttermilk, but over the years it became milk.
Its Indy 500 tradition. Back then it used to be buttermilk before it became milk years later.
No one does bullshit like America. Also: military-industrial complex, much?
Mr Pibb bitch no one cares
It's about honoring those who were in battle, not those who sit on their fat behinds in the Pentagon, collecting pensions and profiting from the war industry.
dead channel?
Omg, every flippin' camera has a sponsor and they have to say them all? I haven't watched this race live since CART cherry picked the IRL. I may come back someday if they ever get real cars.
Bryon Lape they do this year
IndyCar Series is quiet boring, too many yellow flags !
No that be F1 follow Lewis Hamilton every lap every race
