Memorial Day Weekend provides us an opportunity to salute our nation's troops past and present, fire up the grills, spend some time with family and friends and sort of pay attention to those weird looking cars going around in circles.

The 92nd running of the Indianapolis 500 will be held on Sunday and our man Gearhead provided you a handy viewing guide to the race earlier this morning. Since he actually knows what he's talking about, I highlight suggest you take a gander. Gearhead will be attending the race, so definitely come back on Monday or Tuesday for a first hand account after he calms down from his high.

I enjoy the 500, but for race car illiterate and degenerates like myself, this interest usually relates to  having some personal investment in the winner. So I'll be throwing a dart at the wall and picking a winner.
