The 2011 Indianapolis 500 was a hot, but excellent, day for race fans to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There were celebrities, racing legends, bands, a record setting truck jump and of course, the big race with a jaw dropping finish.
Here are our best photos from the day.
The 2011 Indianapolis 500 A.J. Foyt Day was an excellent day for fans to check out Indianapolis Motor Speedway and to get autographs of multiple past Indy 500 drivers.
Here are our best photos from the day.
I normally spend Carb Day in the stands or down by the pits, but decided to opt for a different experience this year and spend the afternoon in turn 3, a.k.a. “The Snake Pit”, with our friends from the Smiley Morning Show on WZPL (99.5 in Indy) for their first Undy 500.
WARNING: The folks in the Snake Pit like to party and some may deem the photos offensive. But we spared you the photo of the guy who insisted on showing his uncovered back side…trust me, you should thank us for that.
That said, here are our best photos from the day.
Like a scene out of PCU…#1 or #2? Really?!?!
