I don't "follow" racing whether NASCAR, INDY of F1. However, due to the local connection with the Andretti's here in the Lehigh Valley (Nazareth, PA is about 4 mi. north of Bethlehem and 4 mi. northwest of Easton) "The 500" has always been interesting to watch.

Let's just say you might see the Pennzoil yellow submarine at Indy.

Not a huge Indy car fan but always watch the 500. I'm a big fan of NASCAR and it'll be fun watching Kurt Busch pull the double. Interesting to see how well he does in the 500.

today is the day, a great day for racing.

I enjoy open wheel racing: Indy Car and F1. Never cared for NASCAR.

Be interesting to watch Montoya and Villeneuve race here again today.

Mercedes teammates Rosberg and Hamilton went 1-2 again today in Monaco. They have a very good chance of sweeping the F1 racing season this year.

i heard something about exchange of words between Rosberg and Hamilton.

Hunter-Ray in the lead after 123 laps. and no major wrecks of any kind yet. this is a great race. =)

[BigDGarciaFan]

Ryan Hunter-Reay now the leader after 133 laps. Moyota is penalized for pit speeding.

What a great finish! A big day for Nazareth, PA (four miles from where I live near Easton) as Marco Andretti was right there at the end and high school sensation Sage Karam finished 9th. He missed his HS Prom the other night, so his crew decorated the garage for him and his girlfriend. Plus, Michael Andretti's team won with Hunter-Reay.
