Since Casey was home for Memorial Day weekend, I offered him my Indy 500 ticket so he could go to the race with Chris. I think they really enjoyed the race and being there together.
On the plane to Indy, Casey sat near the mechanics for the planes in the fly-over. He enjoyed talking “shop” with them.
Chris tried a few times to get pictures of my boy (Dario Franchitti) in the race. There’s the nose of his car on the far left side of this picture.
And there’s the rear wing of his car on the right side. Even on the parade laps, the cars are going too fast to take pictures!
Here are some other fan favorites, Sarah Fisher and John Andretti.
And the boys in their seats.
I was a little bummed that I couldn’t see Dario win his second Indy 500 in person. But at least I saw his first win a few years ago. And I’m really glad that Casey enjoyed going to the race in my place!
