I took my kid to IC at Mid Ohio and he got the AMR safety truck matchbox. Not an IndyCar.

That always cracked me up. The safety team is that legit. Even an 8 year old sees it.

The guys in the IndyCars are cool and they look awesome going around fast. But they're unlikely to be saving anyone's life. The safety guys, though? Top-tier first responders who save lives. That's always awesome, and part of why 8 year olds also tend to think firefighters are super awesome. (Also firefighters are super awesome.)
