This morning I witnessed what might best be described as an invasion...an assault...on the inner regions of Belle Isle. A quick reconnaissance yielded valuable information, it was an organized event by the corporate giant Chevrolet.

I'm guessing their social media spies overheard the heated discussion after Penske's races becoming increasingly scornful...and they've moved to secure the island for future racing.

Larger pickemup trucks were seen slowly and somewhat erratically patrolling the perimeter, and the island authorities were obviously laying down for this onslaught.

They even let one park on that little traffic island in front of the flower clock...I guess the trooper cruisers didn't kill enough of the grass when they parked there during race weekend.
