I went over to my friend Mark's house yesterday to watch the Indianapolis 500. Mark actually attended the race in person with his father back in 1999, but this year had to settle for attending it virtually, since fans were not allowed to be in the stands. Mark can be seen posing in the above photograph in front of one of the race cars making a pit stop. It has been at least 50 years since I have watched this race, and even then not from start to finish. I was surprised at how many crashes there were, resulting in the yellow flag being flown and cars having to slow down and line up behind the pace car. In fact, the last 4 laps of this race were completed like this, resulting in an anticlimactic finish. The winner was Takuma Sato, who celebrated with team owners Bobby Rahal and none other than former late night talk show host David Letterman, who now sports a huge gray beard, no doubt used as a clever disguise. But what is he hiding from? Questions, questions.
