Today is one of the most exciting days in NASCAR. The biggest race of the year is always the Daytona 500, but the race at the Brickyard is huge! Pre-race is currently underway, and I will be sitting in front of this TV all afternoon watching the race. Why is this race so exciting? The main reason is that it is at Indianapolis. Home of the Indy 500, NASCAR has been coming to this track since 1994.
Jeff Gordon was the first to win at this track in '94. He was also the first to ever win twice, three times, and four times on this track. In the 14 previous races, he has won 4. Only a select few have been able to claim a victory at the famous Brickyard, and today someone else will claim that great win as they get an opportunity to "kiss the bricks."
I know many of you could probably care less about anything related to NASCAR. But if you were to watch just one race all season, this would be one of the more exciting. This is the one that every driver wants to win. They will do anything to get to the front. Strategy will be a key today, as drivers will take chances in the pits to get to the front.
You may not be interested, and I guess that is fine. But I can guarantee that this will be one of the best races of the season.
