| Indy 500 ~ Bump Day Armed Forces Day Sunday May 22, 2005 |
The weather was pretty nice today. Rain was predicted for late in
the day, but it never came.
Yesterday's big story was Kenny Brack hopping into the Rahal-
Letterman car and qualifying faster than the pole sitter, Tony
Kanaan. None the less, Brack will start back in 23rd spot since
he qualified during the 2nd weekend. He's filling in for an injured
2004 Indy 500 champ Buddy Rice, who coincidentally had filled
in for an injured Kenny Brack last year. What comes around goes around. :-)

Big Al Unser was
stopped for autographs.
I recently read his
brother Bobby's
autobiography and
asked Al if he intended
to write one, but he said
he wasn't any writer!

Arie Luyendyk, Jr. managed to get qualified,
but then Foyt called up Giaffone and invited
him to try his #48.
Giaffone drove in from the north side of town
and hopped in this car and by golly he went
out and knocked Luyendyk Jr right out of the
show!
Oh well, Arie is young and has many 500's
ahead for himself.

I went out to the track alone today, but
ran into BW and his work buddies.
We headed over to the Red Bull tent.
