Non-musical history for today: 1911 – At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the first Indianapolis 500 ended with Ray Harroun in his Marmon Wasp becoming the first winner of the 500-mile auto race. Watching that race this weekend (the 2026 edition, that is), I was pulling for David Malukas who was going to win his first race and then was passed at the last second by Felix Rosenqvist at the VERY last second. Rosenqvist beat Malukas by 0.0233 of a second. That was the closest finish in the 115-year history of that race. Amazing!
