Yeah I mean....I'm ok with it being this processional atm because it's a 500 mile race after all and even this year's Indy 500 wasn't wall to wall excitement, it just had a uber tast last third.

However it better get exciting soon. It'd be good if it did too because a lot of NASCAR fans might be channel hopping hungry for some more racing right about now. (or very soon when their race gets called, anyway)

This is about as exciting as the 2013 race was. It only got interesting with about 50 to go last year.

Small car count for a 2.5 miles oval doesn't help.

LMAO commentators about Power throwing a piece of his headrest on a safe spot in pit: "In some other series they put pieces on the track to draw cautions"

Haha, Robin Miller and PT are having a serious discussion about ditching speed limits. Old skool.

Miller's opinion and idea is very valid, don't let the crew over the wall until the car has come to a stop. The only risk with that is there will many other cars flying past a crew who are working on their own team's.

Yeah his argument only works if each car has its own exclusive pit lane, not really practical tbh.

Or if there was a further dividing wall between the full speed lane and the pit boxes themselves? :?

With evenly spaced entry openings in the wall to change lanes? That'll work!!!

HEY! I thought we were brainstorming here!

My Dad's car parks itself, lets just make the driver flip to park mode and let the auto-pilot park the car, nothing could go wrong with that, right?

Better? :p
