>> WE ARE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT

00:00:57.357 --> 00:00:57.624
IT.

00:00:57.690 --> 00:00:58.958
IT HAS BEEN THREE YEARS WHICH IS

00:00:59.025 --> 00:01:00.827
HARD TO BELIEVE THAT 2019 WAS

00:01:00.894 --> 00:01:03.930
THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A NORMAL

00:01:03.997 --> 00:01:05.064
INDIANAPOLIS 500.

00:01:05.131 --> 00:01:06.699
2020 DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY.

00:01:06.766 --> 00:01:08.835
THIS YEAR IT WILL BE THE LARGEST

00:01:08.902 --> 00:01:10.303
ATTENDED IN THE INDIANAPOLIS 500

00:01:10.370 --> 00:01:11.471
IN THE LAST 20 PLUS YEARS WITH

00:01:11.538 --> 00:01:14.040
THE EXCEPTION OF THE 100th

00:01:14.107 --> 00:01:14.274
RUNNING.

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:15.141
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN

00:01:15.208 --> 00:01:16.509
ATTENDANCE BETWEEN THIS YEAR AND

00:01:16.576 --> 00:01:17.644
2016 IS THE INFIELD.

00:01:17.710 --> 00:01:19.679
WE WILL BE VIRTUALLY SOLD OUT IN

00:01:19.746 --> 00:01:20.947
THE GRANDSTANDS.

00:01:21.014 --> 00:01:22.315
THE INFIELD WON'T BE AS MANY

00:01:22.382 --> 00:01:24.551
FOLKS IN THE INFIELD AS WE HAD

00:01:24.617 --> 00:01:25.151
IN 2016.

00:01:25.218 --> 00:01:27.954
IT WILL FEEL LIKE AN INDY 500.

00:01:28.021 --> 00:01:32.625
IT WILL FEEL LIKE THE INDY

00:01:32.692 --> 00:01:34.260
500s WE REMEMBER.

00:01:34.327 --> 00:01:35.728
WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE THAT TO

00:01:35.795 --> 00:01:37.130
BECAUSE THIS IS THE FASTEST

00:01:37.197 --> 00:01:38.865
FIELD IN THE HISTORY OF THE

00:01:38.932 --> 00:01:39.532
INDIANAPOLIS 500.

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.935
THERE SEEMS TO BE IN MY OPINION

00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:43.570
CONTINUED BIG BUZZ AROUND INDY

00:01:43.636 --> 00:01:45.038
CAR RACING.

00:01:45.104 --> 00:01:46.773
WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE THE REALLY

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:48.541
BIG CROWDS TO?

00:01:48.608 --> 00:01:49.976
>> WELL, I THINK FOR US IT'S A

00:01:50.043 --> 00:01:51.511
LOT OF FACTORS.

00:01:51.578 --> 00:01:53.746
THE SERIES IS SO COMPETITIVE IN

00:01:53.813 --> 00:01:56.282
TERMS OF DRIVERS.

00:01:56.349 --> 00:01:58.885
HAVING PEOPLE LIKE ROMAINE WHO

00:01:58.952 --> 00:02:02.188
RAN IN F1 AND JIMMY JOHNSON COME

00:02:02.255 --> 00:02:03.523
OVER.

00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:04.924
CASTRONEVES WON LAST YEAR WAS

00:02:04.991 --> 00:02:05.225
BIG.

00:02:05.291 --> 00:02:06.626
SO THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS

00:02:06.693 --> 00:02:08.428
AROUND IT THAT MAKE IT EXCITING,

00:02:08.495 --> 00:02:10.463
I ALSO THINK AS HOOSIERS WE ARE

00:02:10.530 --> 00:02:12.265
READY TO GET OUT AND READY TO DO

00:02:12.332 --> 00:02:13.900
WHAT WE DO EVERY YEAR AND

00:02:13.967 --> 00:02:16.169
CELEBRATE BEING HOOSIERS,

00:02:16.236 --> 00:02:17.136
CELEBRATE THE FACT THAT SUMMER

00:02:17.203 --> 00:02:18.505
IS AROUND THE CORNER AND THOSE

00:02:18.571 --> 00:02:20.907
MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE ON

00:02:20.974 --> 00:02:21.474
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

00:02:21.541 --> 00:02:23.309
THAT IS A LOT OF IT THAT IS

00:02:23.376 --> 00:02:23.610
TIME.

00:02:23.676 --> 00:02:25.078
IT'S TIME TO COME BACK HOME

00:02:25.144 --> 00:02:27.480
AGAIN AND DO IT AT THE

00:02:27.547 --> 00:02:28.181
INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY.

00:02:28.248 --> 00:02:30.083
>> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE

00:02:30.149 --> 00:02:32.919
ROGER PENSKE BOUGHT THE

00:02:32.986 --> 00:02:34.020
INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY THAT

00:02:34.087 --> 00:02:35.788
IT'S FULL ATTENDANCE.

00:02:35.855 --> 00:02:37.357
I KNOW THERE ARE A NUMBER OF

00:02:37.423 --> 00:02:39.259
CHANGES THAT HE AND YOU AND

00:02:39.325 --> 00:02:41.060
OTHERS HAVE IMPLEMENTED AT THE

00:02:41.127 --> 00:02:42.362
SPEEDWAY, IF THERE ARE TWO OR

00:02:42.428 --> 00:02:43.630
THREE THINGS THAT FANS MIGHT

00:02:43.696 --> 00:02:45.632
WANT TO LOOK FOR WHEN THEY COME

00:02:45.698 --> 00:02:47.200
OUT TO THE TRACK, NEW THINGS,

00:02:47.267 --> 00:02:48.568
WHAT MIGHT THEY BE?

00:02:48.635 --> 00:02:50.336
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, YOU ARE

00:02:50.403 --> 00:02:51.638
RIGHT, ROGER BOUGHT THE SPEEDWAY

00:02:51.704 --> 00:02:53.506
AND HAD NO IDEA WE WOULD GET

00:02:53.573 --> 00:02:55.341
INTO THAT GLOBAL PANDEMIC AND HE

00:02:55.408 --> 00:02:57.010
HAS CONTINUED TO ALLOW US TO

00:02:57.076 --> 00:02:57.410
INVEST.

00:02:57.477 --> 00:02:58.845
HE KNEW PEOPLE COULD COME BACK.

00:02:58.912 --> 00:03:00.179
OUR FANS IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN

00:03:00.246 --> 00:03:01.915
HERE AND 60% OF THEM THAT WALK

00:03:01.981 --> 00:03:04.417
THROUGH THE GATES FOR THIS

00:03:04.484 --> 00:03:05.919
YEAR'S INDY 500 WOULD NOT HAVE

00:03:05.985 --> 00:03:06.686
BEEN HERE BEFORE.

00:03:06.753 --> 00:03:08.688
THE NEW VIDEO BOARDS HAVE OPENED

00:03:08.755 --> 00:03:10.189
IT UP WIDER TO HELP PEOPLE GO

00:03:10.256 --> 00:03:11.057
NORTH AND SOUTH.

00:03:11.124 --> 00:03:12.525
THE RESTROOMS WERE WORKED ON.

00:03:12.592 --> 00:03:14.193
IN THIS PAST YEAR WE DONE A LOT

00:03:14.260 --> 00:03:15.662
OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND

00:03:15.728 --> 00:03:16.362
STEEL WORK.

00:03:16.429 --> 00:03:18.831
I HAVE A BRAND-NEW INFIELD CARE

00:03:21.067 --> 00:03:22.168
THEY WILL SO A LOT.

00:03:22.235 --> 00:03:23.369
THE BIGGEST THING THEY WILL

00:03:23.436 --> 00:03:25.271
NOTICE IS THE ATTENTION TO

00:03:25.338 --> 00:03:25.705
DETAIL.

00:03:25.772 --> 00:03:27.273
ROGER HAS HELPED US MAKE THE

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:29.075
PLACE LOOK YOUNGER.

00:03:29.142 --> 00:03:30.476
>> I HAVE TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE

00:03:30.543 --> 00:03:32.145
STATE OF INDY CAR RACING.

00:03:32.211 --> 00:03:33.346
THE NBC CONTRACT WHICH HAS BEEN

00:03:33.413 --> 00:03:34.647
IN PLACE FOR AWHILE.

00:03:34.714 --> 00:03:36.449
THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT MORE

00:03:36.516 --> 00:03:38.384
EYEBALLS AND MORE ATTENTION AND

00:03:38.451 --> 00:03:40.019

00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:47.493
PARTNER.

00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.063
