Omg!!!! I just meet this young lady at the Indy 500. She was busy selling coffee behind the pagoda. My first thought at the time was I wanna tell Rico about her and anyone else that will listen. Then I got home and started looking on you tube and found that this woman is far more amazing then I thought. Now, I’ve stumbled on to this gem of an interview. Wild how stars align!!!! Huge fan of you both!!
I been going to the races for 50 years. When I took my kids they weren't as much outside sports availability like there is today for kids. Parents are now investing their kids in traveling sports which takes fans away from being at the tracks. Good reason too that people are doing streaming too. The traveling teams cost a lot of money for gas prices to hotels. Money can only go so far. Plus I loved the Indiana Fairgrounds too !! Great show. It was very entertaining and informative.
Paul is a great guy, we live about 7 miles from each other and he probably drives to work at Quick Car past my subdivision every day of the week. I have always joked to myself that if I wanted to see Paul, I had to go to Haubstadt, Kentucky Lake Speedway, Terra Haute or Paducah to get to see him. I enjoyed this interview with Paul.
@25:12, I Love Robin Miller because he is/was the "Spirit" of the race that I have lived for EVERY year since 1961, The greatest Spectacle in Racing; "The Indianapolis 500 Mile Race!" And, I've followed him and his every word for many decades. But, My favorite quote from Robin is this..."The Great American Race is in May...The Indianapolis 500, it always has been and it always will be!" There is NO doubt that is the absolute truth. The history, pageantry, and the tradition is what I live for and set my annual calendar to EVERY year since I was 10 years old. Nothing else like it. RIP Robin Miller. I miss you as if you were a member of my family...
Watching a video of Tony Stewart, on the skinny, Hey smoke did you know that I carried around A $2 bill, A Peso and a Canadian dollar for twenty years,everywhere that I have been, but wasn't limited too cash if all denominations,I'm also paperless
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tcuHk-eAWF4.html I saw this race at berlin 2010 in person. It was one of the best races i ever saw. I didnt know much about usac then and nobody knew what these two were going to become, but it really stuck with me how those youngsters ran 1-2 over tthose big names at what was clearly a drivers race. It really cool to see them today and find out theyre good guys.
Had a chance to ride with Tommy Byrne at an event for Mercedes Benz awhile back (99), that's the day I realized I knew nothing about driving. Driving back from the off road course to the MB assembly plant we missed the turn for the entrance so Tommy did a 180 on a public road with 4 of us in a ML320, I'll never forget it.
This needs to be shared on different social media platforms. There are a lot of misconceptions floating around in the Open Wheel Dirt Track scene about how Keith got started and how people get a ride at KKM. This is super informative and could dispel the nonsense of the rumor mill.
I have been dreading the day that Robin Miller would check out and leave us all the poorer for it. He lived for IndyCar racing and especially the Indianapolis 500. The first time that I saw Robin on TV was when the CART Series backed out of their commitment to to run at the Texas Motor Speedway. As I listened to his commentary I thought "This guy is the real deal" and I've been a huge fan of his ever since. I just wish I'd know of him many years earlier. His "Tough Guy" podcasts for Racer Magazine are pure gold! RIP Robin, We Love You and You will be forever missed.
THXS; My 1st Dirt Track race, was at Manzy Phx. Az. early 50s. Roger McClusky, Bill Cheesbourg and I thing Bobby Ball. All race Jalopies then, around Mazanita Speedway. I'm 74 and seen Sprint Cars drivers like. Jan Opperman, Kinsers, Doty, Swindell, Jac,, Shuman, CRA, etc. What Kyle Larson has done for, Sprint Car Racing. Is equitant to. What Tiger Woods did for the PGA. Ali for Boxing. etc . A LOVE-HATE thingy
Been a Ken fan forever. As a child in the 50s, going to Manzanita Speedway. Dirt Sprint cars, are in my Genes. All the Sprint Car drivers who made the NASCAR transition. Starting with Jeff Gordon, it seems. (???). I remember the day Dale Earnhardt Sr. died, and Ken was one of the 1st, too Dale's 3 car. Seems like yesterday at 74 years old. The Ambulance being followed on network TV. Like OJ Simpson's Bronco. Thxs A bit of history, of Ken's life.
