For all of you honest enough to admit you have a short attention span, or anyone who gets bored easily (myself included), Saturday night at Texas Motor Speedway is perfect for you.
You know who you are - the man who leads the NBA game in the fourth quarter, or an NHL game in the last 10 minutes of the third period or jump forward to the last chapter of a novel or care that the last 50 or fewer laps of a race.
The Firestone TMS Twin 275s were made for you. Two races in a short night. Twice as likely of all the crazy things that can be seen in a race.
It is a night designed for the sports crowd-pleasure moment today - give me the good things and give it to me now!
Danica Patrick, who finished second to Texas in 2010, will have two chances to win Saturday night.
And what you might see? It must be a joke here is that TMS president Eddie Gossage liked this format, because if you give Danica Patrick a chance to win two in one night.
Do not laugh. She almost won at TMS last year, finishing second to Ryan Briscoe. It grows on high speed ovals where she can floor from beginning to end.
"To me, this is the best race in IndyCar," Patrick said Friday. "It 's a high-speed chess match out there. You're not lifting. This is to keep the foot of the gas.
"I do not make a secret that I prefer the oval track. This race [at TMS] is, if we look at the most incredible and where it is more exciting for the fans."
Can not you see? The champion of the Indy 500. Dan Wheldon is not a tour event, was an inexcusable by all those involved in the league.
Races and almost lost the Indy 500 runner-up, JR Hildebrand, the unluckiest man in the world.
Hildebrand became famous for the wrong reason, Indy, crashes into the last round victory in sight. Now is competing with a torn ACL in his left knee after a racing incident obstacles on Wednesday, TMS has shown drivers are athletes.
No, I'm joking, but Hildebrand now has two chances to win on one leg. Sorry, could not resist.
"I'm not sure what to do, honestly," said Hildebrand size Twin. "You do not know how aggressive are all going there."
Indy cars at TMS has always considered the race on steroids, side by side at 220 km / h, often produces a photo-finish.
So what is Saturday, competing in a wormhole? Or maybe some other time, waiting to see if the second race produced the same results as the first?
Gossage calls "epic." We'll see, but the driver of the gimmicks are not revolutionary here.
It is interesting that something unique to Twitter today's world and texting is a term used more than 30 years. Indy car racing has 17 daily double, but the last was in 1981.
And NASCAR is still a waiting period of two races for the Daytona 500, but the two races on Saturday really count as a championship - the semicolon before each race.
So do the drivers are afraid people would regard as a victory Saturday that a partial victory?
"Winning is winning, for me," said Patrick. "And these are the things we need to get people to interesting after the Indianapolis 500"
She is right, and that's the kind of racing series should be considered by others. In general, too many races are too long, with many twists of meaning.
"
There will be some close races. But it will be interesting to see how hard people push the first to make sure they save their car for the second race.

Shorter is better because the shorter races, plus a sense of urgency by the teams and drivers. Several Sprint Cup races this year has been painfully boring for the most part, but comes at the end with an exciting finish.
This has led some fans to conclude that if the race was shorter, they would not have seen the dramatic end.
Sorry, guys, it is faulty logic. The same type of thing can happen at the end - it would go much faster.
In this case, you can even get an hour at the end of the first half to take a beer and a hot dog before the second race begins.
Much planning has been that trying to make it understandable for the teams and fans.
Each race is 114 laps. The first race starting grid is determined by reference, but other races are set by a blind draw.
That would be wild. The slower cars could start in the front and the winner of race 1 could begin this year.
Naturally, the formula has a lot of unknowns, but that makes it exciting.
The first race will get a TMS-record 30 cars for this series. Is the second race has 30 cars?
"No, I do not think so,''said Patrick." If there is an accident [in Race 1], maybe some teams do not have a completely different car loan. "
Each team (not each vehicle) receives an additional engine and can make a change on the fly between the races (theoretically) if an engine dies in the first race. Or a team can go to a backup car if a driver wrecks in the first race.
"There will be some close races," driver Justin Wilson said. "But it will be interesting to see how hard people push the first to make sure they save their car for the second race."
How to deal with the shape varies from driver. Oriol Servia said that everything will be the end of the first race, if you have the chance to win, because you do not know if that option is no longer the case for a nightcap.
However, Graham Rahal plans for a more cautious strategy.
"I need to take my car for the second race," Rahal said. "This is a great opportunity for me to make some points."
It 's a great opportunity for everyone to see something new and see what happens in a hurry.
