The cars are slower than f1 cars, right?

They're larger and heavier so would have slower lap times around most circuits but they have a much much higher top speed because they run on ovals also.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.

It's more there for the fans at the track. You have no idea how great they are until you see them in-person and can follow everything way easier.

So does IndyCar have a podium like a real racing series or is it like NASCAR where some dumb hick raises up a Subway footlong and praises the Under 6 grams of fat power of the cold cut combo on honey oat with spinach, tomatoes, onions, black olives and cucumbers with light mayo for powering his way to the win along with the quenching rehydrating power of Gatorade?

Back in the day there seemed to be a weird thing where the oval races usually had american-style winners circles and the road courses had podiums, but I think everyone but the 500 uses podiums these days. We generally don't see them because they don't do the pomp and circumstance with the podium ceremonies that F1 does.
