Okay, I finally watched the #Indy500 broadcast, and boy do I have THOUGHTS. Let's go.

🧵🧵🧵 First of all, my goodness HUGE THANK YOU to @IndyCaronNBC for all their incredible coverage over the Month of May. We had over three hours of pre-race coverage alone! 🤯

If you didn’t feel like you got enough IndyCar coverage this month, you weren't paying attention.

I am so excited about this thread!

I asked a bunch of fellow #Indy500 veteran fans to drop their best race-day tips and advice. I mixed it with my own 25 years of race day experience, and voila! This thread was born.

I chatted with fans with decades of Indy 500 race day experience, and most everyone had different ideas on the "best" way to approach race day!

Last week, I was showing someone photos of my office, and they said “Wow. I never expected you to be a racing fan.” Image *I* know racing fans are all kinds. Men, women, nonbinary. Old and young. Straight and queer. All colors. All beliefs.

But I’m regularly reminded that people outside of racing still see us as a monolith of old white men.

New to #IndyCar ovals and want to try watching them?

I've got you covered with an oval racing beginner's guide. Let's bust some myths and get you excited to watch cars go around in circles! 😉 Rows of brightly colored In... First of all, let's talk about WHY #IndyCar races on ovals.

It's simple really: ovals are where IndyCar got its start over a century ago. Racing on ovals connects modern IndyCar to its history, and it separates it from other major open-wheel racing series. Plus it is FUN! A graphic is split in half ...
