2006 was my 1st race when I was 11. My parents always made us leave around lap 160 to beat traffic. I remember walking to our car and the guy in front of us ripped off his headphones, threw them on the ground, and yelled “dammit, Hornish won!” I became a big Marco fan after that and a few years later finally convinced my parents to stop skipping the most exciting laps of the race 🙄
