File this under, NOT Low Carb News. I saw a reference to Miller Lite Carb Day in connection with the Indianapolis 500 and I thought that this proved that low carb was still up there. It was so up there that Miller Lite, in its battle with Michelob Ultra for the title of low carb beer leader, was really pulling out all the stops. I was sadly disappointed, as this article attests:
Anywhere else, "Carb Day" would be an Atkins diet boycott.
But this is Indianapolis.
Our Carb Day (a.k.a. Carburetion Day) signifies the final practice for IndyCar Series drivers competing in the 89th running of the Indianapolis 500.
For the tens of thousands of race fans who will attend Miller Light Carb Day, it means a big party at the track.
"It's a jam-packed day," said Eric Powell, media coordinator for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "You get six hours of nonstop entertainment, all for $10. It's probably the cheapest ticket in town."
Can't wait to be there!!! Low carbs - or gobs of carbs! ITs' all about the cars and the music!!!! Bring it on!!!!!!
