In my recent Memories of May post, I discussed the origins of the passion I share with my father and the Indianapolis 500. Current technology and expanded fan access through apps and web activity offers many avenues for arm-chair participation.
Through the Graham Rahal/Britney Force Foundation supporting Turns for Veterans, I discovered I could get both our names, along with many others, printed on the side pods of Grahams #15 United Rentals race car he will drive in the Indy 500.
Yesterday, I received a video flyby of Grahams car and could pause and find our names.
I’d be glued to the tube for the race regardless, but this year will hold special emotions and memories while viewing the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
And, wherever my father is, he’ll be flashing his gap-toothed grin and eating a hotdog.
