The Memorial Day weekend auto-racing triple is back (Monaco, Indy 500, Coke 600)

They just said on NBC that he has to be on the helicopter by 4:15 EST to make it to the Nascar race in time. It is now 2:00 est and still likely an hour before they can start the 500. Yes, he has a good lead and is locked into the playoffs but that lead could rapidly get lost if he gets tied up in wrecks or his car breaks. You HAVE to protect that lead.
