Sometimes I wonder about Danny Ric. Village People or just a drugstore cowboy?

The zippered boots tho...

Bless his heart.

I could make a shirt out of Pelican stickers so other Pelicans could find me

I, on the other hand, would have to lose my heartbeat forever to be caught in it.

The hat might be worth keeping. The rest? Nope…

I like the guy, he’s got a great personality. I bet he’s a hoot to hang out with. Unlike several of the others…

I agree. He likely is a fun guy. For him that is just dressing in the local costume. The cost of those clothes is completely insignificant for him. He knew it would generate talk and publicity, and all drivers want to be talked about and their names remembered.

Danny Ric sure is a funny dude. I really think he should just join NASCAR though. No way your average NASCAR fan would use the term 'livery' to refer to sponsorship stickers and the overall color of a race car. Edit: In the longer version he talks about the '84 car' and the 'livery', didn't know this was a shorter clip.

Fingers crossed for Dani and Lando. I’d love to see them up front again. May not have the fastest cars, but it sure seems like they are having the most fun!

I agree, I’d love to have some beers with Dani. He seems like a fun guy that doesn’t take himself too seriously

edit: I checked with a friend whose family has got ownership ties to a couple of the Andretti Indycars, including Colton's. He admits he's not tight with the F1 news, but confirms that Michael wants to go into F1 with Colton.

Seemed packed at COTA today. You wouldn’t know they reduced seats by the crowd. Way to go Perez in practice 2.

We always sit in turn 12 but this year our seats are at the start of the braking zone rather than the end of it. We see less of turn 12-15 but watching them brake from top speed after the 200 meter board is awesome!

Announcers said it was 100k plus in attendance today. From what I saw it was 80 to 90% in the general admission areas. A large amount of grandstands were a little thin on fans, especially on start/finish straight.

Yea it was. I was very surprised. Its good to hear that it may not be much more crowded on Sat and Sun. The track and cars are far more awesome in person than what is conveyed on TV. They sound like race cars! Behold crappy cell pics.

Obligatory view from turn 1 pic.


Me and my bro. I’m the Jordan fan.


Panorama from our turn 12 seats.


Max into Turn 12 during FP2.

I’m really surprised by how many people I talked to who are at the race due to Drive to Survive. Like almost 100% at least for the younger crowd.

Qualifying was very exciting today. Can’t wait for tomorrow!

We’re at the far right of grandstand 12. Hoping for a clean race with overcast skies.
