Scott Dixon is a huge favorite in Indianapolis and had the pole position for the race and many thought he would win it. Whenever he was in first, many in our section would let out a roll as he zoomed by. Of course, without my glasses and how fast they go by, I wouldn't know.
The cars all have prominent numbers on them, but go by so fast, there is no way of knowing who is who unless you know the color scheme of their car.
My guy in the race, and new favorite along with James Hinchcliffe, is Alexander Rossi. That guy always comes to race and race hard. Unfortunately, he had a gas problem on Lap 45 and ended up a lap down. He became my favorite after he won the 2016 Indy 500 as a rookie when he crossed the finish line on fumes and his car ran out of gas half way around the track.
Conor Daly was first in Lap 53. He was still leading in Lap 100.
Those cars are loud, but not too bad up where we're sitting. I'd best describe the noise they make as a bunch of real mad bees. However, this race it sounded more like "Oy, Oy, Oy, Oy" when they came around.
