If you like the Derby, you would like the Indy 500 even more..same principle..stand in the infield with a bunch of drunks and babes, but instead of horses circling around you, it's Danica Patrick
and friends. Even closer than Louisville, and they sell grandstand tickets for 15 bucks at the gate that are always available.
Plus, you can park for free at the coca-cola bottling plant next to the track. Highly recommended by a
fellow Chicagoan who loves to slum on the glorious outskirts of civilization outside Chicago.
Check out Indy sunday! You'll love it!
Been to the Indy 500 but I have to say...there's just something about the Derby that I like more. I don't know what it is.
