Lewis Hamilton locked up the championship last week. Good race today, still one more to go in two weeks. I like Hamilton, he's not an automaton like a lot of F1 drivers. From his appearances on Top Gear he seems genuinely personable and funny.
That's a lot of left turns!!Best race weekend of the year starting right now.
Monaco Grand Prix in the morning.
Indy 500 in the afternoon.
Coca Cola 600 tonight.
That's a lot of left turns!!
Enjoy!
No one this year but one of the NASCAR drivers, Kyle Larson, said he will do it next year.There has been drivers that do both the Indy & Coca Cola.
I wonder if any are doing it this year?

Wife and I were talking about this yesterday and we looked it up. Robby Gordon has done it five times, Tony Stewart twice, and John Andretti and Kurt Busch once each.
Due to wrecks, breakdowns, or weather, Tony Stewart is the only one who ever actually raced all 1100 miles in one day.
It's looking like NASCAR may be rained out though.
Until I looked it up I wasn't aware that a few drivers had done both back in the day when both races weren't on the same date.Hanks Ron , appreciate the background work. I knew2 it wasn’t to many but also knew the Busch kid / Robby & Stewart. I’d forgotten about Andretti.
Those were the days, imagine Danica trying that……… she would have powder-puffed out.

A lot of years we're at the Coca Cola 600 in the infield but my bud with the RV, his wife had knee surgery the other day so it was scotched a month ago.
Mrs. Burgundy and I did go to the Indy 500 once. In 2011 Mrs. B's niece who lives in Indianapolis had her wedding on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. I said that's a plan and bought race tickets. I always tell her she's my favorite niece (she's also my only niece).
