Kevin Cogan crashed from a front row position at the start of today's Indianapolis 500 but pole sitter AJ Foyt made a wily veteran move and managed to avoid the crash in route to his record 5th victory in the Great American Race.
Well, that didn't happen as the race and lots of other Memorial Day Weekend traditions took a year off in observance of the new reality.
At our house one thing at least survived.
On the grill, split chicken breast and sausage, this year we had bratwurst and kielbasa, German and Polish. The kielbasa was a brand we had not tried previously and it was a huge success, really excellent. The chicken is always good.
The weather was variable, overnight rain, morning clouds, humid and warm but completely tolerable most of the afternoon.
Everyone should stay safe.

I have already thanked you profusely, but once again, thanks for keeping up the tradition! The grilled chicken and sausage were delicious as usual. Plus we watched a car race while eating. Yay.
My favorite Indy was 1967. It took two days, John was there for day one but had to work the following day so missed the spectacular ending. Wily AJ Foyt won it, but he was the only finisher of the race. Mass crash on the final lap. He claims he just closed his eyes and steered for the finish. Mario Andretti had the pole position. It was a classic field.
I like your food tradition. It looks excellent. Traditions are good.
Interesting, RP. I had not heard about this race. Wow.
