    Got to talk to Doug at the 8 hour last year. He was just walking around, connecting with the people. Really cool to see the dedication this man has to the track, and to motor sports fans in general.

    Thank you Doug. The Behind the Bricks segments are very informative and give us a glimpse at everything that goes in to making the 500 The Greatest Race In The World.

    Thanks Doug, Roger, and all the hard working folks at IMS! Any chance you guys will include a quick-to-glimpse, easy-to-read running order at places around the track? The square tower in Turn 4 used to be perfect for the snake pit, Turn 3, and Turn 4 folks. Now we have to watch the ever scrolling big screen and miss some on track action. Thanks again and looking forward to May!

    I like these videos. I would like to see the seating areas numbers changed to make sense. I know there numbered from historical reasons but still very frustrating as new or intermittent visitors.

      I think renaming them is unlikely, what is possible though, and what I hope they do, is continue to improve the wayfinding signs to help figure out what seating area is where from where you currently are

    I applaud the improvements. Are there any future plans to reconstruct the Grandstand E Penthouse in the same model that was used for the Paddock, A, and B Penthouse reconstruction prior to the 2016 race?

    Wish you wouldn't have but the stands for the dirt track facing into the setting sun. Doesn't make sense for an event that happens in the evening.

    The more events that are only shown on pay/streaming services, the smaller your viewership will be. You kids may want to consider your fans moving forward.

    Re-Pave the Apron. Then re-install the Kerbs for the Indy 500.
    Then bring back the Brickyard 400.
    And Install Lights around the Track as insurance for the 500 and run Said Brickyard 400 at Night! Just my 2 cents.

      Ever think he wasn't interested in what you were selling?

    The chicane is stupid remove it. Use the three corners for the F1 races. They are stubborn and never coming back
