Hey don't knock the Historics.  Lots of incredible cars, some close racing, small crowds, and you get a chance to meet some of the all time greats.  Stirling Moss, Jack Brabham, Phil Hill, Jim Hall, Dan Gurney, Hans Stuck, Brian Redman, Chris Amon, Bobby Rahal, George Follmer, Carrol Shelby, etc.  Usually lots of famous people from the auto industry, entertainment, and car magazines too.

Hey I'm just telling the truth.  Toyota and Honda have dominated pretty much every lap of the IRL this year and the fastest Chevy qualifier for the 500 is 18th.  If Hornish can't even get a sniff of the top 10 then you know something is up with the motor.

Indy is a footnote now - why does anybody even care? I'd rather watch the Carolina 600 (insert sponsor name here)

Historics?  As in the road racing historics?  I've seen some of those races at Sebring and they're a blast.  Its great watching the old classics taking the turns at speed.  Its like a trip through time.

I'll be pulling for Sarah Fisher and Jimmy Vassar.

Indy is just not the same since the split. 1996 was the last decent Indy. What a shame.

Pulling for Michael Andretti this race, this is his last season and he has never won the 500.

Also an Al Unser Jr. fan so I will pull for him to have second.
