why a milk toast for winner of Indy 500?
596794
Another tradition that dates to Louis Meyer and the 1936 Indianapolis 500. "He drank buttermilk because his mother told him that it would refresh him," Davidson says. "He was going to drink that no matter what [after the race], and a [local] milk federation executive saw it and said, 'Hey, we can do something with this.' " The chilled milk, now anonymous Grade A whole, is presented in an old-fashioned glass quart bottle along with a greenery- and flower-studded victor's wreath. "Rick Mears, who won four Indianapolis 500s, has each one of his milk bottles mounted on plaques," Davidson says.

A definate toss up. Johnson has the experience and what it takes, but the tires and re-surfaced track, combined with the huge change in starting during the day at ending later at night--sun, tire temp, track temp, car handling, air temp---these are all factors to consider. I love Jr. and I think Stewart is also a contender, but I have a feeling it will be an underdog or somebody that comes from out of the blue the last 50 laps or so. I have a bad feeling that we are going to see a bunch of wrecks that ruin cars or completely take out the best drivers, because other drivers are acting stupid. Happy Hour tonight will be a good way to see how tomorrow will play out!!! It will be great to watch---the beer is chilling and the food will be cooked---I just wish it was tonight and not tomorrow!!! Boogity Boogity Boogity boys, LET'S GO RACIN'!!!!!

Milk became the drink of champions after Louis Meyer, the winner of the 1936 Indianapolis 500, was photographed gulping down a bottle of buttermilk, his favorite drink. Apparently, his mom had recommended the drink, claiming it would refresh him. \n\nThe photo found its way to the desk of an executive at the Milk Foundation who, seeing a rare promo opportunity, "made sure that from that year on the winner of the race received a bottle of milk to drink." A tradition was born. Not surprisingly, the National Dairy Council supports this ritual, calling the celebratory chugging of the milk, "a winning example for people everywhere who are looking to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle."

Why?  Did you drink it?

He finished the race (although in 12th place, I think). He's probably a little embarassed after that dumb-bunny stunt. Couldn't settle for second. No. Had to push the envelop to get first, and crash himself into 12th.\nDoh!

You don't have to reach your hand into the toaster to get the toast; it will pop up all by itself!\n\nYou bring a whole new definition to the term "Leggo my Eggo!"

I'm right here! I love NHRA!!!! Go Morgan Lucas!!!! I'm going to a race really soon! To answer your questions:\n\n1. In funny car? No one can top him. He's won like, a billion times. \n2. Who knows if Ron Capps is going to win? As long as condtitions are good and is car is up and running, he has a fair chance.\n3.Gary Selzi is problay going to get the Dodge running right. \n\nIt's really nice to see some NHRA fans!

Yes, and usually it is an hour.  I have also seen this done (unsuccessfully - the poor guy booted about a third of the way through the gallon).  But even before throwing up he experienced serious chills because all that milk lowered his body temp, even though he was drinking it outside in the hottest part of the summer.

he didn't buy Tony Raines' rdie, he got Cope's.  he said last night (mon) on inside nextel cup on speed that Cope's team presented the idea to mikey.  by selling their entry Cope's team made more money than if they ran the 10 laps the usually do.  Mikey mentioned something about contract obligations with NAPA for being in the race.  \n\nall together i don't think it is a good idea to let guys sell their entry but like ken schrader said what a guy decides to do with his qualifing spot is up to him.  i really think you should qualify in your car and race your car not fail at qualifing and then buy someone elses.  it may be legal by NASCAR rules, but i am not sure it is very sportsman like.

The milk you are drinking is breast milk.

What Jimmy is actually doing is cracking open a jar of corn whiskey, moonshine.  It's the Master's stash, but since Massa is in a ditch having been thrown from his horse, it seems like a good time to have a drink, and no one cares that Jimmy is stealing from massa, because, well, Massa's dead.  WooooHooooo.

I definitely think that Marco will have many opportunities to win the Indy 500 as well as other races.\n\nThis year's race was the best race I've seen in a long time.  2nd closest finish in Indy500 history and I was there...sitting in turn 4!   I am so glad that Hornish won the race.  He has had such bad luck and timing at Indy...it's about time!!!

Jeff has a chance to pull it off but I don't see it happening this year.  To much has happened to the rainbow wariors this season.  I dont see the machine as being at 100%.  I thing that once the team clicks, they will once again raise the cup.\n\nAs for this year, Jimmie is on fire, like he has been for the past couple of years.  He has been so close so many times and just missed out.  His team seems to be at their best right now.  Unless the bottom falls out, I think he is going to be a hard one to beat.  He is thinking beyond each race and looking at the whole picture.  I have my money on him.\n\nThere are a number of others who are not going to let him take it easy.  It is looking like the reast of the season is going to be as good as the begining.

Kasey Kahne is a very talented driver.  His first year he was in the top 10 finishes most that year.  Never won.  I was so bummed for him, he worked his butt off and this year paid off for him.  I was thrilled when he won his first race. Fantastic driver and very cool dude.  I was at MIS this weekend and couldn't have been happier with him.  Even though it was called at 129 laps his car was the one to beat, I think he still would have won even if they went all 200 laps.  His car rocked!  I like Kasey. He is firmly in my top 10 list of drivers.  Sunday was awesome!
