Video of the week: “And it’s a new track record!”

So, I missed the entire weekend of racing last weekend, with the exception of the last few laps of the Brazilian IndyCar race, which appeared to be rather entertaining. Consequently, I honestly have nothing to say regarding the weekend of racing. Oh, the things you miss when you’ve got stuff to do.

Either way, there are two videos of the week, but they both follow the same subject. With this being the Month of May, the most wonderful month of the year, thought goes back to track records at Indianapolis. The last time the track records were broken was 1996, when people such as Tony Stewart, Scott Brayton, and Arie Luyendyk went for broke in an attempt to be the fastest man ever at Indianapolis. May this drama come back, and may the records fall soon.

It should be worth noting that Arie still holds almost all of the meaningful track records (1-lap, 4-lap, 500-mile) at Indianapolis. For “‘Tator Day Thoughts,” I’ll discuss track records at Indy tomorrow.
