Connors also agreed, saying that a lot of

they aren’t very familiar with the sport.
“There is a lot of camaraderie,” Connors
said. “It kind of gives people a reason to
bond and cheer. Even if you don’t know a
lot about it, the people who do are always
willing to share information — talk to you,
tell you how to do things, how they do their
picks.”
But the camaraderie doesn’t just stay in
the stands. The drivers, even though they are
competing against one another, often form
bonds of their own. Andrew McCarthy, one
of the drivers who will be racing the night of
the Derby, said that the friendship is one of
his favorite parts.
“We all love winning races and
whatever,” he said. “There are a lot of really
good people, and you make a lot of nice
friends — lifetime friends.”
