Here's to you, Tony George!
Tony George and his staff at Indianapolis Motor Speedway should be very proud this Memorial Day after one of the most successful Indy 500's that I can remember in years. Stands were full, merchandise stands were humming and there was a great race. This race featured eight cautions, a win by the pole sitter and drama with Danica...who can ask for anything better.
If I can offer just a few suggestions...the IMS staff needs to add some technology to the action. I want to hear from the Pit Crews on my radio like NASCAR and I would like to see more video components at the race, not the same old video boards. ESPN and ABC do a great job of covering the race but there are more opportunities to personalize the race experience with technology.
Tradition needs to meet high tech and it can be done to keep the momentum going from yesterday's race.
