It'll take more than "5" hour energy to keep these bones a moving after the baby back ribs and potato salad that I just consumed.Hope you brought your 5 hour energy
I keep checking for my friend that's there. Still some chances of showers, but it's looking decent for getting the race in.

It'll have a hard time topping the Indy race

Yeah, I really liked the 500 too so tonight's race has a lot to live up too.
One thing I will say - since this is just the pre-race thread...Indycar motors don't blow up near as spectacularly as Nascar motors. Not nearly as much smoke. They need to work on that

Hoping for a good, run away, ass kicking for the field this evening. A repeat of last year will do.

It's charlotte, I won't be holding my breath
Even if the 600 doesn't live up to the action in the 500, let's keep the civility we had in the 500 race thread. Please.
That was so enjoyable.

Mute, or mute not. There is no 'might'.
