I had a pass to stand alone in the grass in the general area where the pits exit was but was asked (told) not to come shortly after Penske made it a zero spectator event. They bluntly said, in an apology, that they didn't want to have to explain my presence. Penske is a class act in many regards. I would not want to be Roger Penske in 2020.
It was interesting to learn that AJ Foyt has attended 65 Indy 500's. Here's to our "resident legend" on such a remarkable feat.
I am not sure that watching it on TV, in a couple of hours, wasn't better than sweltering in the sun from daybreak till the early evening, but a TV can't replicate the engine sounds or the crashes, as the cars fly by faster than you can spin your head.
