If you go and watch the 500 and all the passing and excitement that goes on there not to mention much higher speeds it makes the 400 feel like a tank race.
Never been to the 500, but this is my 5th year in a row for the Brickyard 400. I'm not even a Nascar fan, but it's a fun road trip.

Despite the difference in speed between the types of cars, I thought that the average speed for the winners of the two races at Indy have been surprisingly close.
