The Indianapolis 500 has a TV blackout in the Indianapolis market. That’s some bullshit right there.

That’s fucking stupid right there. Just pisses off the locals. Doesn’t accomplish anything else.

What if I told you, in the past you had to wait til the evening after the race to watch it on ABC not just in Indianapolis, but everywhere? It was like that until 1986

I remember not being able to stay up for the end of the race when I was really young...

We’ve mentioned it before, for sure, but maybe some year we need to do a longer piece on that BS.
