Dumb question that I never thought to ask, but why do they have two separate groups during the pace laps?

They run at pit speed. So helps to set pit speed accuracy.

I enjoyed giving the Command to Start Engines today. Wanted to be traditional. Man when the moment comes, you get so damn excited. Didn’t expect it.

No, with sports in general down in the ratings and the fall off that was seen last year, I hope that the race bucks the trend and increases in ratings share.
