Indy 500



As part of our trip to Indiana, Jim went to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to witness the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, the Indy 500. The tickets were arranged through the sister of Sam Hornish, Jr., who won the race in the second-closest finish in 90 runnings of the 500.

Brother-in-law Kevin and Jim settled into the seats near Turn 4 and caught all of the action along with a few beers (which you are allowed to bring in after you park for free!). The highlight of the day was Hornish's close victory, but the sights and sounds were amazing all day long. Especially enjoyed the friendly race fans who displayed Danica Patrick's first pole.
