Happy Memorial Day to everyone and thank you to all who have served our country including my father. Without them and their service we all might not be here.
So yesterday was one of the craziest Indianapolis 500 races I've ever seen! Won by Josef Newgarden on the last lap when he passed Marcus Ericsson. Congratulations to Josef who has now won the Indy 500 on his 12th try!
After that pass was the now famous "Dragon Move" to keep the lead and win. This move has been used for the third year now and apparently is here to stay. It breaks the air on the car following you so the following car doesn't get in your draft for a pass.
Josef won the race for Team Penske and it's Roger Penske's 19th win at the famed speedway that he now owns.
The race had a bunch of wild crashes and a tire that flew off and landed on a spectator's car thankfully and didn't hit anyone!
The photos here are from last year's race at Road America. Josef Newgarden won the race and got some donuts done in turn 5 which he didn't get to do at the Indy 500.
Enjoy a look at the players from the Indy 500 this year with last year's Road America race photos.
There are also photos here of Alex Palou who won the pole position at Indy plus Pato O'Ward, Felix Rosenquist and Marcus Ericsson.
Thanks,

On July 7, 2023 at Milwaukee's Summerfest we all got a great treat with Rod Stewart and his band.
It was a great show with a HUGE stage setup. His band included a harp and four girls playing and singing that helped him open the show with Robert Palmer's song "Addicted To Love".
With the two girls on either side of Rod all in the same outfits, it looked just like Robert Palmer's MTV video years ago of the song.
Exceptional band and show!
Enjoy these photos of the show.
Thanks,

On March 6, 2023 a photo display was completed for the Bruce Springsteen concert at FiServ Forum here in Milwaukee.
Some awesome fellow photographers and I contributed some images and the FiServ folks went to work making an incredible display for the band to see.
Bob Cavallo, David Bernacchi, Rick Kohlmeyer, Gary Dineen, myself and the Milwauke Journal team provided the images. They were of the Boss and the E Street Band in Milwaukee through the years.
The large prints were put into the individual dressing rooms of the band members.
The hallway photos are going from where the buses park to the dressing room entrances. They made a really nice wrap on the walls and lit them nicely hiding the cords perfectly.
Above the doorway going to the dressing rooms they even had a neon sign made saying their famous line made famous in Milwaukee in 1975, "Are You Loose?". This is from the 1975 bomb scare show at the Milwaukee Uptown Theater.
In 1975 the show was shut down with a called in bomb scare. They said they will come back later that tonight once the place was cleared and searched. So, the band went back to the Pfister Hotel and had a few drinks and got loose!
When they returned at about 1am the first words out of Bruce Springsteen's mouth were "Are You Loose?"! The show was awesome and I think everyone was loose!
Enjoy a look at these photos of Bruce and the E Street band in Milwaukee from 1975 to 2023.
The band liked this photo tribute so much thtat they put it on their Instagram account @StevieVanZandt! The last photo here shows that post.
Also, checkout the film reel they did on Instagram @bsesb_tour! They did a better film job of the hallway than my still photos.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
