If you’re like us here on the show, and if you’re reading this blog post, I know you are like Matt, John and myself, you’re getting prepared for the best day of racing. There’s no doubt in my mind that Sunday of Memorial Day weekend is the best day in racing, beginning with Formula 1 running the crown jewel race that is the Monaco Grand Prix, then to the US with one of the crown jewel races in all of racing, not just IndyCar, the “Indy 500”, and then in the evening, NASCAR’s Cup Series “Coca-Cola 600”.
However, don’t forget that NASCAR has the Xfinity Series at Charlotte on Saturday, a day that begins with Formula E running in Berlin. Let’s not forget the NHRA, which will run on Memorial Day itself, the “Route 66 Nationals” in near Chicago, Illinois. There are other great weekends of racing, where you get a lot of good races in, but this weekend marks the biggest weekend of them all, considering that of the series we cover on a regular basis, only the Gander Outdoors Truck Series won’t be in action.
I’ll be going to church in the morning, which means I’ll miss Monaco live, but, I’ll be back home in time for the Indy 500, the replay of Monaco which ABC will air between Indy and then the live action of the “Coca-Cola 600”, and I’m sure you’ll be doing a lot of that too, if you’re anything like us on the show…deja vu right? If it isn’t, re-read the first line of this blog entry.
