I missed about the kissing the bricks. Who started it & when? And for the bonus question, who & what started the tradition of drinking milk for the Indy 500?

Just gotta say, they need to let Dale Jarrett do all the pre-race interviews. He was great!

Todd Parrott and Dale Jarrett started kissing the bricks in 1996. Don't know the other.

I was way off.

But I got a cool story to tell you thats un race related. I spilt beer on my laptop lastnight because I was drunk and there was a storm going on outside. The sucker instantly powered down. I sait it infront of a fan and took out important pieces and let it dry. Just got it put back together started it up. No problems what so ever.

How cool is that?!

Hey guys, question for ya. They always have racers they can interview mid race durring a caution. How do they decide what people should be miced on the field? I have never seen Gordon miced but JR. and JJ have both been miced.

Gordon has been miked before... it all goes on who they want to talk to or NA$CAR wants them to talk to.

I wonder if they've ever been turned down by a driver who didn't want to be miked.

I'd say it has happened.... I'm sure there are drivers that would rather just be left alone, and only team people yak on the radios.

So is JJ fast or did Martin just get a slow start ?

[Quality88]

Is it me, or is JJ's car crabbin like a mother

Probably running just fast enough to stay in 2nd place until the caution.

[Quality88]

So much for the competition caution

[Loki309]

Waltripthe first caution. Go figure.

If the Yota's didn't have so much power that wouldn't have happened
