Just in.... Jim Nabors, due to illness, will not be able to sing "Back Home Again In Indiana" leading up to "START ENGINES"

This is sad sad news. I hope our good friend, Mr Jim Nabors gets well soon and comes back even stronger next year! BEST WISHES JIM !!! GET WELL SOON!!!
and I know we will see you next year !!!!

He will address the race day crowd though and invite us all to sing at the top of our lungs, our beloved song.

Let's do it for Jim !!!!!

Back home again in Indiana,
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight, still shining bright,
Through the sycamores for me.
The new-mown hay sends off its fragrance
Through the fields I used to roam.
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash,
How I long for my Indiana home.

A tragedy, no. Will we miss his being there, yes. Will the show go on, yes.

It's always a tragedy when old, rich men get sick.

Is this really such a bad thing?

Andrew, you will be old some day. likely not rich, but old....

As for Nabors and the Indiana anthem....well it is a hokey tradtion that made Indy Indy...but at some point, Ole Jim will be watching from heaven, and they will have to dig up some other guy who only does one gig a year.....

Sometimes...all the pagentry at some events just sort of goes into the red zone on the ole Corn meter....
