I wish they would stop this stupid contrived staged totally NASCAR started "tradition." It really annoys me. With all the great traditions of Memorial Day weekend at the Speedway, this is one I could do without. It was a nice gesture out of respect the first time the NASCAR guys were allowed to run at IMS. IndyCar drivers do not need to do this and it looks completely phony. If a driver wants to do it, cool but setting it up like TAPS or Back Home Again in Indiana is ridiculous. Why don't we just add the "traditional" doughnuts and burn outs to the ceremonies . UGH ! Thanks a lot NASCAR !
