IndyCar’s off for a month because they couldn’t get into Canada (this is a mild oversimplification, which is to say they didn’t try invading from the north), but I’m still tasked with writing one IndyCar blog post a week, and I didn’t write one last week, which means this week I’m supposed to write two. The long and short of this is that you are in line for progressively stranger IndyCar content as the month winds on, because I 1) don’t know very much about IndyCar 2) have already used up my best idea, which is for IndyCar to confine itself to only racing within the state of Indiana. I would imagine that eventually I will get to “put a loop-de-loop on every circuit,” but for today, let’s stay reasonable:
Teach Shohei Ohtani how to drive an IndyCar.
We know he’s good at things. We know IndyCar needs a star. We know baseball fans are cool with a lot of commercials. We know IndyCar prides itself on its diversity (it’s in their Twitter bio, after all). We know something else that probably contributes positively to this argument, I’d imagine. That’s five things. That’s enough. Get that man behind the wheel in an open-wheel racecar and watch America swoon.
You’re welcome, Indiana.
