by Kent Sterling For 15 years, May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway lasting an entire month has been a ridiculous concept that only Indy 500 traditionalists have embraced. Practice days are unnecessary exercises that provide nothing to compel attendance, and Bump Day has ceased to feature bumping. Qualifications were reduced to the weekend before the […]
