MILLER LITE CARB DAY Friday, May 26 at 11:00am on Peacock network.
A bit of history:
For those that don't know Carb Day was the last chance to make any final adjustments to the engine fuel mixture and tuneup back in the days when the cars still used Carburetors before Fuel Injection replaced them. It was also the last chance for making any changes and adjustments to the cars.
These days it is the last chance to fine tune the setup of the car's suspension, make sure that the drivetrain has no leaks or other problems before Sunday's Indy 500.
End that history lesson.
It’s racing. It’s rock ‘n roll. It’s pure bliss. Miller Lite Carb Day is the ultimate turbo boost into the greatest weekend in racing! This high-octane party features some of the most exciting action on (and off) the track as the world revs its engines for the 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. Let’s get Back to Rock Friday, May 26.
JEWEL TO PERFORM NATIONAL ANTHEM AT INDIANAPOLIS 500 May 19, 2023 | By Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Acclaimed Singer-Songwriter Joins Must-Watch Pre-Race Show on NBC
Jewel, a multi-platinum singer-songwriter, actress, mental health lived experience expert and best-selling author, will perform the national anthem before the start of the 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 28 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
“The singing of the national anthem before the Indy 500 green flag is a signature and iconic moment at the Racing Capital of the World,” said IMS President J. Douglas Boles. “For over a century, we’ve gathered at IMS to salute our nation’s military heroes, and the national anthem performance is a tradition that reminds us all of their sacrifice and bravery. Jewel’s rendition will be a memorable and moving experience for fans at the track and watching from home on NBC.”
As a lived experience expert and pioneer in the mental health space, Jewel is passionate about democratizing wellness. She developed an emotional and mental health curriculum that has been proven to work by experts. For 21 years, her Inspiring Children Foundation and Jewel Inc. have been bringing these mental health programs to at-risk youth and to corporations. She recently joined the innovative mental health platform Innerworld as co-founder and chief strategy officer to make mental health support more accessible to all. Jewel also created SELLA, a language arts curriculum for schools that incorporates social and emotional learning and mental health practices.
Jewel went from a girl who grew up with no running water on an Alaskan homestead [The Kilcher family are relatives of the singer Jewel, with Atz being her father] to earning 26 music award nominations, becoming a multi-platinum recording artist who released one of the best-selling albums of all time.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a cause and conversation in which the INDYCAR paddock has been an active participant.

We are still watching the replay because of the blackout here. 7 laps to go under a yellow flag. I’m dying. This has been an insane race. Thank God for all the safety features. Shouldn’t be much longer now before I find out who the winner is.
WOWWWW!!! Crazy race!!! Congrats to Newgarden!!
First time I’ve ever seen a wheel and tire get loose and sail right over the entire grandstand. Smashed up someone’s car in the parking lot, though - no spectator or worker injuries.
Had it gone into the stands it would have killed a half dozen people. There will be lots of hand wringing over this. But what would the fix be?
That was very weird, to say the least. So glad that no one was hurt.
There will be some who will say the race shouldn’t happen. That’s it’s a waste of gas. They will want to use electric vehicles. Can you just imagine?
Bobby used to complain about the greens keepers running him off the cart path at Murfield village.
What a tool.
Good for voting them out.
My memory of Danville is getting yelled at by the lifeguard for running around the public pool. My penalty was having to walk around the pool three times. That was 60 years ago. Funny what a person remembers.
It is funny what we remember. Certain things really make an impact on you. That’s how it used to be for sure. I know it’s grown up a lot since you were there. A friend of mine was raised here, moved away to raise her family, and then moved back 25 years ago. She says it has changed a lot.
The population is around 10,000 now. Unfortunately, one of the farmers died and left his land to a nephew that lives a few states away, so the nephew sold it to a developer. So now we are putting in new infrastructure to carry that new development of 2500. All the townspeople are PO’d about it. So there were two good reasons to get rid of everyone who voted for the development and against the Mayberry festival.
I know eventually people who live in the surrounding towns will get sick of that growth and move here. It’s only a matter of time. I just hope we can retain our small town values.
And if anybody's interested in Detroit Indycar, Grand Prix is tomorrow there is a new track actually downtown and something I've never seen before anywhere they have a left in right side of Pit Road there is a blue line running down the middle of it. www.tvracer.com has the TV Schedule for all racing.
there is inherent risk in going to any major sporting event...
catastrophic part failures are not foreseen
i was 4months old...
Every ticket I’ve ever had to race no matter what kind of race has a disclaimer right on the ticket that they’re not responsible for any injuries it may be incurred or whatever the lawyers speak on ticket was.
Also Gravity, Kinetics and Inertia have their own rules and they are not Negotiable.
And the Masses went WILD IN THE STREETS !!!
