I lived in Indianapolis for almost 3 years serving as a worship leader there and I quickly became a Colts fan and an Indy Racing League fan. While living there I had the opportunity to attend the Indy 500 twice. The 500 is the single largest attended sporting event in the world and is racing’s crown jewel. Even if you’re not a racing fan, actually being there at the speedway just does something to you. There’s basically a century of history there and tons of pride in the city. I love it.
Thanks to some great friends in Indy, I’ll be seated in turn 4 this Sunday watching the field of 33 Honda V8-powered Indycars come roaring down the track yet again. I can’t wait! I also look forward to catching up with some friends I haven’t seen in a while. It’s gonna be a great weekend!
