The IndyCar season-ending race in Homestead-Miami Speedway was the first caution-free race in IndyCar Series history.

It’s a strange, slow-moving, uninvolving movie that no one but the financiers would watch if it didn’t star Will Smith. The movie lacks ingredients that make for a popular American film: running gun battle, boat chase, car chase, spaceship chase, extraterrestrial persons, cute robots, menacing robots, exploding cars, torture scenes, prurient nudity, dinosaurs, ‘local color’ such as a traditional wedding, funeral, dancing, music, festival, fair, landmark, national park, national monument, …
