Summary

This quote humorously suggests that if participants in the Indy 500 race had left earlier, they wouldn't need to drive so fast. It plays on the idea that the racers only need to make up for lost time due to their late start. However, in reality, the speed of the race is not solely determined by the timing but also by the competitive nature and pursuit of victory in the race. The quote is a lighthearted observation that is not meant to be taken as a serious suggestion.
