DEAR RACE FANS,

WELCOME TO THE 110TH RUNNING OF THE INDIANAPOLIS 500 PRESENTED BY GAINBRIDGE. IT’S AN HONOR TO CELEBRATE THE LARGEST SINGLE-DAY SPECTATOR SPORTING EVENT IN THE WORLD WITH ALL OF YOU.

MORE THAN 330,000 RACE FANS WILL JOIN US TODAY AT THE INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY, AND MILLIONS MORE WILL BE WATCHING LIVE ON FOX, AS THE STARS OF THE NTT INDYCAR SERIES COMPETE FOR RACING IMMORTALITY.

THEY WILL DO SO IN FRONT OF SOLD-OUT GRANDSTANDS FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR, AND IT WOULDN’T BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE GREATEST FANS ON EARTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THIS HISTORIC AND IMPACTFUL EVENT.

TO THE DRIVERS COMPETING IN “THE GREATEST SPECTACLE IN RACING,” — BE SAFE, GOOD LUCK AND LET’S HAVE SOME FUN. I KNOW OUR FANS ARE IN FOR A TREMENDOUS SHOW TODAY.

FINALLY, THANK YOU TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES WHO KEEP OUR COUNTRY SAFE AND PROTECT OUR FREEDOM. THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, WE RACE FOR THOSE WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. ON THE 250TH BIRTHDAY OF OUR GREAT NATION, HOSTING THIS SPECIAL RACE ON THIS COMMEMORATIVE WEEKEND TAKES ON EVEN GREATER SIGNIFICANCE.

SINCERELY,

Roger Penske
