Carb Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway brings out the best—and sometimes the strangest—of humanity.

In Season 4 Episode 89 of Welcome To The Suburbs, Greg shares a Carb Day story involving Indy 500 traffic, an unexpected confrontation, and a reminder that patience isn’t everyone’s strongest virtue. From there, Andy and Greg explore the unique culture surrounding the Indianapolis 500, the annual migration of race fans, and the colorful characters that seem to appear whenever thousands of people gather in one place.

The conversation takes another turn when Greg recounts two bizarre encounters with the same mysterious customer at Lowe’s, raising an important suburban question: how much personal space is enough?

Plus:
Indy 500 and Carb Day traditions
The Oscar Mayer Wiener 500 and Wienermobile racing
