I thought the 500 was pretty good. A few decent crashes but the best part was the 3 wide racing during the restarts. I can't stand Danica but she seems to be growing up.

this was my first indy 500 i've ever been to. it was ok i didn't think there would be that many rednecks since the chassis is italian and engine is japanese no hillbilly sounding american v8's . but it was ridiculous the people all around we're making fun of the engines the drivers from other countries yelling at the brazilian guys by us cheering for a brazilian driver. they kept talking about how the cars sound like civics, if civics sounded like that i would have one. this was my first oval track race and probably last i'll just wait for mid ohio. sorry to rant. i am glad a brazilian won since the rednecks were booing them
Sorry to hear that. That was exactly how I felt after attending my first NASCAR race last year. And that was in Sonoma, CA.

The only time I went to Indianapolis was for the US Grand Prix. The spectators there in general, exhibited much more classy behavior.
