Kissing the Bricks (good grief)
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 !

What do you mean the first time? The Brickyard 400 was already two years old when it started.

should they do away with the milk in victory lane as well since it's clearly "staged"?

I don't care if they kiss the bricks, drink the milk, drink OJ, do a doughnut, do a back flip or climb the fence. They won. So they can celebrate their win anyway they feel like celebrating it.
I just wish the megalomaniac had kissed the bricks instead of pissing on them."For 80 years this place has run on tradition. From today forward it will run as a business." - Tony George (Failed businessman)
Leyton House even went bust after Newey left ;) McLaren did at least win a championship post-Newey (Hamilton in 2008). Williams' problem was losing both Newey and their works engine at the same...
