As think I'm gonna miss this novel form 'O
entertainment slightly, albeit it sure Ain't Thee Same as traditional Open
Wheel Racing - even with Messers Diffey, Tracy and Bell in Thee House...
Otay so if you've followed along with
IndyCar's novel attempt to Entertain us during the COVID 19 Pandemic Corona
Virus Lockdown, when we were All staying Home and Sheltering... Then You
Already know the outcome of this novel six weeks experiment.
And I must confess that I feel I owe Sage Dangerboy
Karam a teeny-weeny, itsy-bitsy' Apology; GASP! Since when I was trying
Ah-Mighty to figure out who the second round's 29 i Racing competitors were, I
became totally Stumped over who No. 29 was? Even though I knew he'd won the
week before, Sage and more notably Dreyer & Reinbold Racing just resonate
to Mwah as a perpetual One-off Indy 500 entry...
Alas for Mwah, I didn't begin following along
until Round 2 when NBC Sports belatedly decided to get Onboard the Virtual
Racing Train after watchin' them Good 'Ol RASSCAR' Folks net an audience of
nearly One Million viewers the same week as IndyCar's Live Stream virtual Watkins
Glen race - which IndyCar has tried Ah-Mighty' Spinning it's numbers which still
Pale in Comparison even when counting every which way 'til Monday; Oh Never
Mind!
Barber Motorsports Park
Round 2: April 4th
This was my favourite event of the six weeks
competition, primarily since it saw a
virtually unknown Tintops, nee V-8, Uhm, Err Supercars Bad Arse Sweep to
Victory! As Kiwi', and Not Aussie' Scott McLaughlin, which presumably thou
Mainstream Media's been Mussin' up since he lives' in Brisbane, Mates! Simply
Kicked Arse to Mwah! Especially since he Defeated rival Team Penske Aussi' Will
Power. For which I've already serenaded Y'all about here on No Fenders - And I
Don't feel like changing tyres again; Yuck-Yuck-Yuck!

Round 3: April 11th
Obviously the Biggest News regarding this
week's i Racing Spectacular' was the inclusion of 'lil E', or Ironhead Junior',
aka Dale Earnhardt Jr. who not only energized the Pre-race Hype, but also
acquitted himself nicely in his maiden i Racing IndyCar Debut by finishing on
Thee Podium's third step.
As the eventual podium finishers All
benefitted from adapting to a Fuel Savings strategy which I've already scribbled
'bout here on No Fenders and will defer Y'all to that Post instead...
