On this the 100th Anniversary of the Grreatest race in motorsports, the Indianapolis 500 has been really cool. I mean, the day started with some great videos of the past 100 years, celebrity after celebrity endorsing the big race.
I can't get enough out of Danica Patrick and those "Go Daddy" shots, and the National Anthem performed by Seal, Kelly Clarkson and David Foster on the ivories.
Oh the race........... At Lap 100, the race is led by Scott Dixon and the top 5 include Dario Franchiiti, JR Hildebrand, Alex Tagliani, and O. Servia and Ed Carpenter.
I am pulling for Pole winner and fellow Canadian Alex Tagliani, but I am not sure he has the car to get him to victory circle, for that mason jar full of buttermilk and probably the second greatest trophy in sports (only behind Lord Stanley of Course)
I guess we will see how it all shapes up, and then off to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600 where I cheer on #29 as he starts 28th! A great, great weekend of auto racing!
