Indianapolis Motor Speedway Centennial

First, I want to take a moment to just say "thanks" to everyone who has commented on my site or contacted me with compliments. It means a lot that First Super Speedway makes your work easier or just satisfies your curiosity. Frankly, I'm a little surprised by the attention. I'm particularly surprised by the number of e-mails from France and the UK, but also I'm pleased there is so much interest in American racing history in those countries. What's more, I'm impressed - maybe blown away - by how many other people find Barney Oldfield to be the fascinating a character I do.
