Barbaro won it easily but there were 20 horses in the race and that is far too many.\n\nIt's dangerous and also tough on the horses who have to start away outside and run much further than those on the inside.\n\nIt's very hard to get through holes with so many horses in front of you and 12 to 14 should be the limit in any big race even if the track is a big one.

Governor Ruby Laffoon made him a Kentucky Colonel in 1935 in recognition of his contributions to the state's cuisine. \n\nAnd you thought it was just public relations.

At a truck stop restaurant, the only food joint for miles, I found a wooden match stick and a cigarette butt in my french fries. The ketchup had cigarette ashes lightly sprinkled on them and the waitress was smoking while she served us. I should have gotten the hint when I saw a truck driver get up and walk out right after his food was served. The hot dog didn't have any debris on it but it was shriveled up like a prune in a stale bun. Restaurants on Route 30 are dirty so watch it !

No more than the Letterman Crew did for Danica ; they pitted ; when they need to and the Crashes just happened while they were Pitting ; Not sure I like the Rule ; but Hope Someone will explan ; why the Rule exsist at all ; if you pit on green you should be able to get back out depending on your pitt time and Place in Competition prior to leaving the track ; not all the way to the back of the Pack ; they know the Adverage Lap times prior to the Crash etc . it aint Rocket Science ; it just seems un fair ! How do you know when someone is going to sell their car to the wall ; is it a Team effort ?

Barbaro is the most impressive KY Derby winner I have ever seen. ( More than 20 KY Derbys ) He should have no problem in handling the others today barring a major incident that would comprimise his chances, something like War Emblem going to his knees in the Belmont Stakes a few years ago.\n\nYou can get our race selections for free on the website!

He had many chances to win the 500 only to have bad luck to bite him. His only win came in 1998.It was a sight to see how everyone on pit road came out greet him on his way to the winners circle.

It's a Fat Tuesday tradition. However in Europe there is a Fat Thursday which was last week. Due to that day polish bakeries and housewives cook PACZKI's. (the correct spelling of it)... AND of course THEY ARE GOOD!!!!.

My great Uncle Barrett was a marshall at the race and he did confirm those facts to me. He also confirmed that some local "yobs" threw some bannana skins on the track because they thought it would be funny but they were removed fairly quickly! There was also a rumour that one of the primates finished in such a quick time it is still number 7 on the top 10 race times for that track to this day!

His last race was at NHIS...New Hampshire International Speedway and approximately 24 hours after the race. I was at that race and am honored to have seen him in his last race ever...Even though Rusty Wallace won.....

being that i am from SOUTH CAROLINA..... any race EVER run at the "lady in black" ....the track they call too tough to tame.....DARLINGTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!. \nif i had to pick one....johnny benson and the 32 tide ride beatin and bangin all the way around the final 4 laps with johnny benson winning by less than a bumper width. i think the final margin was something like .004 of a second or something like that. all i know is that they were leanin on each other and neither one wrecked.

Slow and steady wins the race--- the only thing I can think of is that the slowest runner had much more stamina than Yoshi. Yoshi must have had the least amount of stamina in his class.

...Winners Drink Milk.\n\nThe American Dairy Association of Indiana is proud of its long relationship with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The traditional Victory Lane Bottle of Milk presentation and the Fastest Rookie of the Year award celebrate an association of 70 years between the dairy industry and the 500-mile race.\n\nThe bottle of milk presented to the winner of the Indianapolis 500 mile race has been a traditional part of the victory lane ceremony for over half a century. \n\n\n\nThe legendary Louis Meyer, a three-time 500 winner (in 1928, 1933, and 1936) is acknowledged as the driver who began the tradition with his request for a cold drink of buttermilk following his victory in 1933. Louis said that his mother made the best buttermilk and he really looked forward to having some after the long, hot grueling race. Later, the bottle of milk was made a permanent part of the post-race celebration by Anton Tony Hulman, the Terre Haute industrialist and sportsman who purchased a dilapidated Speedway in 1945 and saved the 500-mile race from extinction.\n\nThe American Dairy Association of Indiana honors the winner of the 500 and the winning car’s chief mechanic with cash awards. A winners drink milk plaque is presented by ADA to the previous year’s champion during the drivers meeting held at the Speedway the day before the race…and many of the drivers keep the original milk bottles used in the victory lane ceremony as a symbol of their win at Indianapolis.\n\nWhen race day approaches, we sterilize our special winners drink milk bottles. We fill them with icy cold milk and pack them in the fridge so they’ll be ready on race day morning. Then…we get up very early and pack our special milk bottles in a cooler and head to the track. One person and a back up are in charge of getting the ice cold bottle of milk into victory lane. When the race is over, we make sure the winning driver gets his or her famous bottle of milk in victory lane. Thus the tradition continues.\n\nWith all the grab and go containers available on the market today, it’s easy to pack your own victory bottle of milk for race day refreshment. Fun flavors and grab and go containers make milk delicious, nutritious and ready to go. When you’re getting your track pack ready…make sure to include nutrient packed milk. Other packable portables from the dairy case include already cubed cheese and drinkable yogurt. Nutrition never tasted so good or was so easy to get ready for the big race day picnic.

yes. you can.\nbecause they forgot the ketchup, you got mad. when you got mad, you torched your car. it is a chain reaction that started in the drive thru.\nI say sue.\nand hey, if someone can sue McDonalds for making them fat, you have a great reason to sue!

The only impact it might have is shortened races. Back during the last gas crisis (the one Jimmy Carter created), NASCAR shortened a few races. I beleive it was done more to impact public opinion than to actually help the situation. The gas tanks on cars in the NASCAR series are smaller than the gas tank on most cars.
