2000 Belterra Resort Indy 300 at Kentucky Speedway

[@aiwash2766]

Wow..... look at that crowd

[@purwantiallan5089]

@sp1878 2020. The fans were nowhere near that. Even with only 1 fan.

[@AlonsoRules]

I wonder how many of those were fully paid tickets. I reckon some would have been a buy one get one free type deal.

[@Yoshik379]

@@AlonsoRules But that doesn't really matter actually. In Europe that's common practice. The World Series by Renault used to give away free tickets in Belgium for its Spa race. You only needed to go get them yourselves at a pick-uppoint. Because it attracts a lot of people, and they'll most likely buy drinks, food or merch at the track, they actually could make more money than when they would have sold the tickets. Of course the prices of those were a bit higher but it worked. I have no idea how much an IRL ticket costed back in those days but I guess the used the same method.

[@RebelTXWrestling]

One of my all-time favorite races. It was this race teams took notice on Sam Hornish. Panther Racing signed him after the season to replace retiring Scott Goodyear. This was Jimmy Kite best run til blown engine took him out

[@MateusGowen]

This was Sarah Fisher's best career IndyCar finish at the time. She would finish 2nd at Homestead Miami Speedway on April 8, 2001.

[@SuperBuzz71]

Great Race. Sat with Sarah’s family in turn one and ate lunch with Dare too. Took my mom. Good day. Always remember it.

[@rickbeck5437]

I was fortunate to attend this race. It was the first one for the IRL Series at this track, Excellent facility. Very Clean.

[@Bassman1985]

Last days of mixed engine notes. Some were still running the crossplane cranks.

[@SwineBrothers]

didn't they go to smaller engines in 2000? weird that they wouldn't mandate a flat plane for 2000, unless that was a transitional year. either way i do remember the different sounds.

[@simoneburini4036]

@@SwineBrothers they probably just downsized the older Oldsmobile engines

[@SwineBrothers]

Good point.

[@JonathanGaeta]

Wait that’s Kentucky? The same Kentucky that NASCAR used to race at? Man the times

[@captainnebulous2918]

Yeah before NASCAR ruined the track.

[@thesteveruss]

Did he say "Kenkucky" ... ?

[@captainnebulous2918]

There is a ton of cucks there lol

[@Mike-xh8fl]

Indeed he did. Though given the alpha status of CART in the late 90s and first year or two of the 2000s, it makes sense!

[@watsonroadster3707]

The old IRL...Listen to the 4.0 litre engines!!!!...I miss those things...

[@EpicTyphlosionTV]

Nothing like watching IndyCars going 300 mph

[@purwantiallan5089]

I miss Sarah Fisher now.

[@eliteflite8395]

thanks for fixing the audio in these videos.

[@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

These cars look crazy fast

[@Indy1977TX]

Thanks for a new upload, IndyCar!! All we need is Indy to complete the 2000 IRL season and a few more CART races :-)

[@kangaroo_hq]

Keep them coming!

[@racingmaniac2549]

Thanks Indycar for the upload.

[@iced_coffeelvr1069]

So *this* is what open-wheel oval racing could look like today if NASCAR hadn't ruined it for everyone!

[@SwineBrothers]

now that's how you open a race.

[@pauloluciomachadodebrito8107]

This was the race that launched Sam Hornish Jr.

[@pabloleotte]

Kentucky speedway needs to get back to indycar schedule
