A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

Will All-Star win start a roll for Kyle Busch?

GODSPEAK: Busch finally broke the seal. He’s going to win on a regular basis now.

KEN’S CALL: The guy wins all the time on Saturdays, and it doesn’t always translate to Sunday checkers. So, no.

Have we moved past the “need” for a 600-mile race?

GODSPEAK: No sense breaking from tradition. The race teams don’t seem to mind the extra 100 miles. Stay with it.

KEN’S CALL: Probably, but it’s a unique event and worth keeping as is. Not much is untouchabl­e these days, but I wouldn’t mess with the Coke 600.

How much of Sunday’s 1,100 miles of racing will you watch? GODSPEAK: The entire Indy 500. Start to finish. After that, we go to the DVR for the 600. Projecting 700 miles total.

KEN’S CALL: I never miss the lead-up and start of Indy, but I’m in and out after that. All told, I’m guessing 750 miles.
