Friends, that which we have lusted for over the last decade is now a reality.

We have a new TV deal exclusively with NBC.

500 about to get underway. Haven’t watched any Indy this year.

 

[gordonr24]

Only Indy I ever watch is the 500.

Always find myself rooting for Kanaan and Andretti.

 

[Burhead]

Davison had no business being on the track and it costs Sato.

 

[gordonr24]

Bye Danica..

 

[Burhead]

TK has to pit again due to a puncture. Was the only car so far to challenge Ed Carpenter.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Good for Power.

 

[Burhead]

I don't know what Wilson and Harvey were thinking? 4 laps to go in the 500 I'd run those tanks dry rather than pit.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Agreed. I assumed it was some sort of series standings reason that I’m not familiar with.

He qualified for the race.

Question for people in the know.
I live in the Tampa Bay Area and know nothing about racing.
This weekend we have a race in St Pete.
Is this this a big deal in the world of racing?
Are these the same cars and drivers that race at the Indy 500?

Edit*-maybe this was the wrong thread for this question

Yes, they are the same drivers as the Indy 500.
It's a big race for the Indy Racing League. Though guess it depends on your definition of "big." It's not for extra points or anything.
