August 07, 2020 | By Zach Horrall, Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Don’t miss your chance to commemorate an extraordinary 104th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge by ordering the Official Event Program today at shop.ims.com.
This limited-edition event program is a 176-page time capsule about the 104th Indianapolis 500, which can be seen Sunday, Aug. 23 at 1 p.m. (ET) live on NBC.
While the COVID-19 pandemic will keep race fans out of the grandstands at this year’s race, the tradition of collecting Indy 500 programs remains. Race fans can add this commemorative piece to their Indy 500 collection, including the stunning program cover art created by motorsports artist Alex Wakefield.
The cover art pays homage to some of the greatest moments that have defined the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. From left to right, race fans can follow a timeline of prominent drivers, moments, owners and people of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
From the founders of the famed racetrack and their vision for what the Speedway could become to Rodger Ward, Wilbur Shaw, Tony Hulman, A.J. Foyt, Al Unser, Rick Mears and so many more, this program cover takes race fans on a journey through time and is filled with special moments that defined these hollowed grounds. Race fans will see things their eyes aren’t immediately drawn to, and each time they look at this program it will tell them a different story, but a story that nonetheless helped define the Racing Capital of the World.
This program also serves as a great guide to use as fans watch the race live on NBC or listen on the Pennzoil INDYCAR Radio Network. Complete with exclusive driver features and bios, a detailed race history, the honoring of iconic anniversaries, never-before-heard stories about IMS and the Indy 500, and so much more, this program is a must-have item for Race Day.
If race fans want to own this piece of history, they must act now to reserve their copy, as only a limited number of programs will be available for purchase in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum Gift Shop.
