Then he took it and kept it. Great race. I've always liked Helio.

Yeah, you are correct, it is left turns for 200 laps.
But I defy anyone that thinks this is a simple task to contemplate the amount of concentration required to drive a car capable of 240+ MPH speeds for 3 straight hours without putting a foot wrong.
Dare ya.

Just drove 500 miles, now I'm going to leap out of my car and climb a fence and run around the track!
Take that, you youngsters!
Notice he mentioned Tom Brady and Phil Mickelson as other oldies but goodies.

There is only one club more exclusive;
Former living Popes.

And there was old Mario-- just a one-timer- but always the jolly face of the 500 for me.
