I have to say, IndyCar has once again stunned me with their fan access. We got paddock passes both days and, although they were a bit pricey, they are definitely worth it. Got to watch pit stops on Saturday from the pit wall and the grid walk Sunday was priceless. Even got the Penske crews to laugh at the shirt I made (It was ripping Danica, of course).
As for the race itself, I wish there were a few more cautions to keep the field bunched. Otherwise, it was excellent.
Yea, Jersey traffic. Spent an hour waiting to get out of the parking lot, then we finally got on I-80 and from there it was still 4 hours to get home (regularly 1.5 hours). Turns out there was a crash in New Jersey that everyone had to stop and stare at, backing up traffic into Pennsylvania.
On the topic of food, did anyone see a Pirogi stand anywhere at the track? Just something my brothers and I were on the prowl for. We were eager to embrace the slovak heritage.
It's not that exciting. They literally just line up on the grid for a few seconds, then the starter waved the yellow flags and everyone pulled away except Newgarden.
