Congratulations to Brownstown, Indiana - 2011 Back Home Again in Indiana presented by AT&T Winners!

• The grand prize money was used for developing a multi-use trail that connects the Jackson County History Center to the Jackson County Fairgrounds, which is the home of the Brownstown Speedway.  This provided a safer pedestrian/bicycle access to and from the fairgrounds as well as a multi-use trail for recreational use by the community.

In 2012, The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is working with our community partners to make sure everyone gets a shot at participating:

• Indiana Association of Cities and Towns http://www.citiesandtowns.org/
• Indiana Main Street Association  http://www.in.gov/ocra/2364.htm
