My month of May literally ended early this year. I hit the wall on the formation lap. But I believe in this team, can’t wait for next year, see you in Detroit

Turning Fortune’s deploy pipeline has fallen victim to overly ambitious new features spending our entire allowance before engines even fired in Indy on Motorsports Christmas, so the site will be without updates until June 1.

We are taking the opportunity to add even more ambitious features.

Oh wait, no we won't because Detroit is still in May

I'm just allergic to any amount of secure-the-bag who-cares-who-the-sponsor-is hustle culture in racing. The fact is that all racing sponsorship below the highest levels is businessman cosplay, and the teams that act like it is have a much simpler problem, which is that they have no culture.

The reasons are not mysterious why the platonic ideal race car sponsors are:

1. Motor Oil 2. Potato Chips 3. Vaguely Good Causes … … … ♾️. Whatever scam tech bros are money-laundering about this month.

Yes, sorry, 2 is "Stuff race fans need", which puts camping gear and potato chips in the same category
