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. Chock full of Indy 500 protips—it's perfect for first-timers.
First a bit of a disclaimer: there are as many ways to “do” the Indy 500 as there are people who go! There is no one right way to approach race day.
The advice here is what has worked for the folks I talked to, but what works for you and your group might be different!

Last week, I was showing someone photos of my office, and they said “Wow. I never expected you to be a racing fan.”
*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! 😉
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!
