The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.
