Good omen for @smclaughlin93 — the only Knicks fan in the world that I actually like.
The Indianapolis 500 has only taken place on May 24 six times, not counting this year.
▪️Half of them were won by the No. 3 car.
▪️Four of the six were won by Team Penske.

I say it every year, but @ArrowMcLaren knows how to do liveries, even for a test! Wonder if they were going for an animal theme…

Alex Palou becomes the 14th person in motorsports history to have won both the Indianapolis 500 and Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Only two drivers (Unser Jr 1994, Castroneves 2001) have ever won both races in the same season. Palou could join them next month, as a back-to-back Indy 500 winner.

Scott Dixon's last pole outside of Indianapolis came in 2016 at Watkins Glen.
Since then, he's made the Firestone Fast Six 46 times without earning pole (13 front row starts).

For the first time since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, humans have left Earth’s orbit.
A piece of fabric from the Wright Brothers’ first powered flight in 1903 is also on board.
God speed to the crew; none of whom were even alive when the last Moon landing happened.

My favorite part is the role Kay Bignotti played.
Tony Hulman wasn't planning to change the "Gentlemen, start your engines" command because the mechanics actually start the engines.
Kay was the daughter of three-time winner Louis Meyer, wife of legendary George Bignotti, and had a USAC mechanic's license. She told Janet, "We can't let them get away with this." and started her car on race day.
