What's that you say? Indycar this weekend?
Hurray!!
The two week Indycar draught is soon over as the merry band of young and old Americans, and Kiwis, and Aussies, and Colombians and a host of others invade the racing and cheese and beer paradise that is Road Atlanta America at Elkhart Lake WI.
Take it from Neptune, Wisconsin beer can't be beat. 
And it doesn't get more blue collar than a Lawson tractor, especially a military tractor. 
Besides beer, it's not all hard work and no play in the Badger State, as demonstrated by Crown Prince Olav of Norway.
Back to the serious business of racing. Here's the track, a legendary 14 turn, high-speed rollercoaster. Thank-you, Clif Tufte.
What Happened Last year?
The starry leap says it all as Will Powered to victory in front of a close Kanaan and a distant Rahal.
What's going to happen this year? Who knows???????
But welcome Robert Wickens, DTM star, replacing Michael A. Lotion (visa issues).
Here's the schedule in a highly unreadable form, (all times Central). If anyone can provide a better version, I will add it. TIA. Most sessions will be steamed on Indycar.com, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. Delayed Indycar qualifying and the Indycar race (including expanded coverage) will be televised on NBCSN.
