Welcome Race Fans

Welcome Race Fans – Indy Art Project There are many things that separate the legendary Indy 500 from other motor races from around the world, but perhaps the most noticeable one is—the people.

“It caught me off guard when I first read, “Youth Only NASCAR Autograph Session” on the daily activities email sent by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway PR department.
