The thing I love about both Indy and Le Mans pre race ceremonies is that they’re both quintessentially local.
Indy is so American. So somber and reflective yet powerful.
Le Mans is so French. So effing French.
And I love them both for embracing their cultural roots.

Further thoughts. F1 and NASCAR have taken risks and made significant changes to their brands to skew younger and attract new audience. IMSA has cool new cars coming. IndyCar has been less inclined to make any truly big swing, you could argue, in a decade-plus.

Thoughts on JJ in IndyCar after 2 road/street races:
-He's climbing out of his comfort zone.
-He's closer to the pace than many expected.
-He's posted faster race laps than veterans.
-He's bringing in a new sponsor/awareness.
-He's having fun.
These are all good things.

Allow me to state a simple truth.
When racing is simple, it is easy to explain, and therefore easier to help spread the word.
When racing gets more unnecessarily complex and bogged down with rules, regs and extras, it becomes less so.
