Race start is scheduled for approx 12:30PM CST?

This is showing approx. start time of 12:45PM EST, which is more in line with the usual start time of very late morning Indianapolis time.

EDIT: Apparently I'm a moron... When did Speedway IN go to EST time from Central?

The hell?

OK... I know why I was confused.

Before 2006, most of Indiana did not observe Daylight Saving Time. However, some counties decided to use DST, creating confusion about what time it was around spring and fall.

Basically, I was going off an assumption that either they were CST, or that they didn't observe DST... Regardless, I've been assuming the wrong time at the Speedway for almost 20 years.

Peacock is broadcasting, cars are on pit row, and at least one driver is out there in uniform. I think they're gonna do stuff soon.
