Indy 500




Thank you Oskays for a GREAT weekend. We just got back from Indianapolis and an awesome race weekend. We arrived at the Oskay's on Saturday and headed straight out to two race parties.

Sunday, we were out the door by 8:30 AM to pick-up Jorie's Uncle, two nephews and friend Stephanie. We had a police escort to the track which was THE BEST perk ever!! There was so much traffic and we just zipped right by to our parking spot near the track. We then went tailgate hopping and ended a car that was right by our seats.

As for the race...I basically sat with my mouth wide open for the first five minutes watching the cars go by at 220 mph. I still can't believe anyone can do that. I was cheering for Buddy Rice #15 because I liked his name. Duke was cheering for Will Power for the same reason. Jorie cheered for Danica Patrick who unfortunately was out with 30 laps to go when another driver ran into her in the pit lane. Scott Dixon was the winner. Buddy Rice came in 7th or 8th I think.

We had the best time and really enjoyed the race. The weather was perfect all day. After the race it was on the Slippery Noodle for dinner and then we headed home after a long, but very fun day. Jorie and Jason really know how to host a fun race weekend!!

It went by fast, but we are looking forward to seeing Jorie, Jason and the girls in a few weeks here in Chicago. We hope everyone had a fun holiday weekend.
