From the article (this was me)

quote:
Perhaps the 500 moving to FOX, combined with the Coca-Cola 600 leaving FOX for Amazon Prime Video, played a role. With the 600 leaving broadcast television and the 500 essentially taking its place on FOX, perhaps some of the traditional NASCAR audience opted for IndyCar this year.

I'm curious how the blackout being lifted in the Indianapolis area due to the sellout boosted these ratings.

I went this year and it was my first 500. I didn't really get into racing until a few years ago. I went to a NASCAR race in 2012 but I was just tagging along with friends. It was fun but I wasn't into racing so I didn't appreciate it as much as I could have.

But holy shite, the Indy 500 was just a completely different experience. That was the best sporting event I've ever been to. The energy of the sellout crowd building up to the start of the race was very palpable. I sat low in turn 4 so I got a good sense of that speed up close and I can't stop watching the couple of videos I took during the race. I definitely plan on going back in the future.

What did he mean by “Hang in there?”

There’s a poster in the new break room with a picture of Dylan that shows him holding onto the two switches for the OTC in the s1 finale. The poster says “Hang In There” at the bottom, so I assume Irv put something behind it in the frame.

Yeah. Oscar raced every lap this season. The only time I remember Lando going out is when Max punted him in Austin

This is incredible. The more you zoom the funnier it gets.

On his onboard it sounded like something popped or cut out and caused the spin. It was weird because it was before the safety car even ended

Potential Piastri penalty for pit entry violation PRE-race. What is happening?

What a clown show from the FIA.

That was an awesome end to q3
