Okay, who will watch both big races this weekend?

Question

Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600.

I will let voters decide best answer

Everyone have a great weekend, and please remember what it stands for.

Answer 1

I want to watch both this weekend. This is a tradition for me, watch the F1 race in the morning on Speed, prepare myself for the Indy 500, then drink some Pepsi to watch the Coca-Cola 600.

Unfortunately, I'll be at work during the Indy 500, then I'm going to a beachhouse for a bash during the 600.

But I'll find a way to celebrate it in some way.

Answer 2

I am!

Answer 3

I am watching both. Going to try and have a BBQ to celebrate, but with all our rain,just might be stuck with the old stove.

Have a happy and safe weekend everybody!

Answer 4

i dont watch indy i dont know anyone there

don weldon and danica,

definatly the coke 600 it will be boring cot hard passing

Answer 5

I'll DVR *all* the races, then watch them when convenient.  There's a limit to how many consecutive hours I can spend siting on my butt watching TV.

Tonight I'll watch the sprint cars (start watching an hour into the race, and FF through the commercials)

Saturday I'll likely watch F1 qualifying and the Craftsman Truck race.

Sunday: F1 race, Indy 500.  Hope they don't give away the Nationwide winner (I hate those 'ticker' things).

Monday: Nationwide.

May not get to the Coke 600 until Tuesday.  It's a challenge avoiding all media sources for 2 days . . .  :-/

Answer 6

i will as well as the monaco GP

Answer 7

I will watch both. I'd like to watch the Monaco GP, but I don't have the right access. Biggest race day of the entire year.

Answer 8

I'll be watching all races this weekend, starting tonight with the Truck race, then saturday the Nationwide race.. I'll drag my behind out of bed arouind 4:30 Sunday morning watch Monaco, the Indy 500, and then its BBQ time with the 600, thats a lot of speed and racing..With Gas already over $4.00 a gal and diesel is pushing $5.00 out here in Calif, Its time to relax and stay home for a weekend of racing, and a few baseball games in between..

Go Dale Jr, Hornaday, Helio & Lewis Hamilton

Answer 9

remember what "it" stands for. The race or the weekend? I'm  gonna dig on the "600", but other than that, I work too hard to sit around and watch T.V. all weekend. I'm gonna go outside and play!

Answer 10

Man, you guys are starting late, and quitting early!!!

Friday (tonight), Farmer City for UMP Late Models, Mods, and sportsman (actually going to go crew on my cousin's Sportsman...but I might get to watch some other action).  If that gets rained out (it's raining right now), I'll watch the WoO Sprinters on Speed.

Saturday:  NCTS race, then to Macon Speedway for more UMP LM's, Mods and Sportsman (actually going to go crew on my dad's LM...but I usually get to watch most of the features).  The NNS race starts too late to watch.

Sunday, Monaco, Indy, and the Coke 600. I could almost make it to Indy, watch it live, then scoot back here for the 600, but that would mean missing Monaco.....besides that...who wants to pay big bucks (not to mention the $100 or so for gas to get there) to watch a blur pass the 60' of track you CAN see at Indy.

Monday:  back to Macon for NASCAR night with Ken Schrader, Kenny Wallace, and Kevin Harvick.

Tuesday:  NTPA Tractor pulling on RFD-TV (DirecTv channel 379).

Edit - Farmer City is rained out.  Guess I'll have to stay home and watch the WoO Sprinters!!!

Answer 11

Not into Formula 1 but will defintely watch Jimmie kick but in the coca cola 600! GO 48!!!

Answer 12

I will I have a tailgate party in my backyard. two wide screen tv's and a keg.

Answer 13

I have a busy weekend planned but I did DVR the Indy 500 and I am having friends over for the Coca-Cola 600 staying home saving gas and BBQ!  

Have a great weekend yourself Tom.  I will never will forget what this weekend stands for.  On Memorial Day we all go out to the cemetery and put a flag on my Dad's grave, he was proud of his WW ll days and we honor that and him every year.  His favorite quote is below:

As I approach the gates of heaven;

St. Peter I will tell;

One more soldier reporting sir;

I've served my time in h**l. -Mark Anthony Gresswell

~ RIP Dad.

Answer 14

I will watch the 600 but not into the formula racing............

Answer 15

I wish I could watch the Indy 500 but I have work. Nationwide Series beats Indy any day though, I will watch all 900 Nascar miles.

Answer 16

Me and I can't wait!!!!! I do every year, that day is like race fan nirvana.

Answer 17

I feel like a toss up on this, I really donot care for the 500 that much, but to get amped for real racing I may tune in just so I can prepare for the main event, Coke 600 and a win by Kenseth

Answer 18

You left out the biggest race of the day!!!  Monaco Grand Prix, the most prestigious race in the world.  Racing from 8am til midnight!!  Dont forget its going to rain at Monaco which should make it an unbelievable race.
