This angered many fans. Lot 2 was opened at am the previous year. Then, after a shortened tailgate party, we entered the track. To our dismay, all fan were ushered off the track at pm by the Indiana State Police. I don't know why. The PAID pre-race pit passes were good until pm. We never got to cross that brick finish line.

Then, we went up to our overpriced seats where a leaky pipe leaked a foul stench upon our heads and newly purchased t-shirts as we waited for our elevator. This smell never left us during the entire race. These were the worst race seats I've ever sat in. I expected a limited view, but not the dungeons, gloomy, dated section.

The following year, he become the only driver in Brickyard history with back-to-back wins at the Brickyard More about the Brickyard around the Web:.

Brickyard - A good overview of race history including Brickyard history and trivia, a list of winners dating back to , and related references and resources, from Wikipedia. All about the Brickyard Although its history is relatively short, the Brickyard is long on excitement and always a popular favorite with fans at Indianapolis, second only to the Daytona in terms of ticket sales and attendance.

To be able to win that race was huge. Named after the refreshing alcoholic beverages that come in a pouch, the race will be held Saturday, Aug. It replaced the Kroger , held at nearby Lucas Oil Raceway for 30 years. This year, the lap race returns to Brickyard Weekend Saturday, Aug.

Boles and others have been told, and understand, fan attention to the race dropped steadily with the performance of the Cup car setup on what amounts to be nearly a rectangular 2. Though the racing has gotten marginally better the past couple of years, the Brickyard has become known to the casual fan as a processional race, with drivers largely waiting for a blown tire or pit mishap to make a pass.

But the drivers themselves have been insistent, even months ago, that the Cup remain on the oval. Boles, the well-prepared promoter that he is, has had an answer to this frustration ready for some time.

What he hopes is, after the initial shock of the news, the idea of likely a more exciting on-track product, coupled with a historic partnership with IndyCar, will win the day in the long-run. Motorsports in the age of a pandemic has brought nothing but change, and with the right mindset, maybe one day the winner will be heralded as much as the Indiana boy from Email IndyStar motor sports reporter Nathan Brown at nlbrown gannett.
