I didn't notice the 172, but I was floored by the other flyby.

It appeared around the national anthems, fireworks, and Black Hawk fly-bys.
We were sitting in the Turn 10 bleachers when I saw the aircraft, which I
believe faces west.

The two aircraft in formation were the Collings Foundation B-17
"Nine-O-Nine" and their B-24 "Dragon And His Tail."

Thanks for the correction and the elaboration.

They were enroute to Syracuse, NY for one of their "visits" (according
to the CF's website.)

Yep, for US$400 or so they were giving out rides in the B-17 up in
Syracuse. There were also tours of the aircraft.

You work for NBC/TNT? Very cool. Do you travel to all of the NASCAR
races?
