Daniel Suarez is awesome, however I can see where NASCAR fans will be quite upset because his success is heralding another wave of Mexicans taking err jerbs.

So next week will be my first race ever, sadly at Indy. What are the must do's/don'ts and all that poo poo. We got the family passes so we get to go to like A, H and vista I think.

This is ten year old information (meaning when people used to go to the 400), but if you don't want to deal with traffic, consider taking one of the park-and-ride shuttles in from the airport or downtown. We stayed at a Residence Inn at the airport, which worked out amazingly well: hotel airport shuttle dropped us off on the arrivals level, walk to the Park-and-Ride bus. Skips traffic entirely.

You can also consider parking in somebody's driveway adjacent to the track seeing as the track sits in a residential neighborhood, which is bizarre as hell seeing it for the first time.

Sit as high as you can. I was at the pit entrance the year I went and you couldn't really see much at all.

The last promising Mexican got killed off by the France co conspirators so there's that.

in re: to the country discussion

Daddy's Cup by DBT is the greatest country racing song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McW2NwWtR9E. It's an ode to saturday night short track racing.

Also, anyone who says country is dead hasn't listened to Sturgill Simpson. All of his poo poo is good but here he is on Letterman doing the greatest trucking song since Jerry Reed did East Bound and Down - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBPMuG6a31o (cover of an old Buford Abner tune).

If, in the normal course of milling through gypsies' merchandise/souvenir trailers/haulers/tents at Eldora, I find a JWT t-shirt before an SRA t-shirt, I will buy it and provide photographic evidence of such. Depending on size, I may also wear it during the race. :toxx:

...god, I hope he doesn't have merch, either.

Pretty cool to see the MB Motorsports #63 kicking some rear end in practice! The owner/crew chief Mike Mittler was a real hardass to work for, but drat if that guy doesn't bust his rear end to continue to race on a small budget. Here's to hoping they can make a good showing tonight.

Some of my old friends are going nuts right now I reckon.

I worked for mb motorsports' parent company, Mittler Bros. I ran the website and was in marketing. The race shop is right down the street and during the season people ferry back and forth between "real job" and there. I did the graphics for the truck, ran their website, press releases, and all sorts of other odd jobs as needed.

Schrader gets a big reaction for that win.
