It’s hard to believe that it has been almost a year since we learned that NBC would be the exclusive home of the NTT IndyCar Series. Had you asked me before I looked it up, I would have said that we learned about it sometime last summer. I would have been wrong, as it was March 21 of last year when the announcement was made.

Before anybody gets the wrong idea, let me say how much I love going to IndyCar races and especially Indy. I wanted to get that out there before I went off about the weekend I lost.
The Evolution of the Snake Pit
Posted in IndyCar on February 4, 2019 by Oilpressure
Last week, I was very excited to see that the fine folks at IMS have released the names of the entertainment for this year’s Indy 500 Snake Pit presented by Coors Light. Please understand that I say that in my most sarcastic tone possible. The lineup includes Skrillex, Alesso and Illenium. The only one of those three that I have heard of is Skrillex, because I remember him playing at IMS before and I also remember my son being very impressed that he was there, since he is an aspiring electronic music artist himself.
The Chance of a Lifetime

This past Wednesday, we got confirmation of what some of us had been suspecting – that Conor Daly will be driving for Andretti Autosport in this year’s Indianapolis 500. Last year, Daly drove in the “500” for Dale Coyne Racing with sponsorship from the US Air Force. He barely made the field as the slowest qualifier and bumped his way back in late on Saturday. He finished twenty-first and in front of three other cars that were still running at the end. It was not a great result, but still better than twelve other cars in the field and far better than the two drivers that did not qualify and were on the sidelines at the start.
