00:00:10.377 --> 00:00:14.647
>> You know the scalp adds, the

00:00:14.714 --> 00:00:16.015
flat plate staff like that, it

00:00:16.082 --> 00:00:19.819
is better to see the scalp had,

00:00:19.886 --> 00:00:24.057
flat plate like that.

00:00:24.124 --> 00:00:27.827
>> Dads IndyCar driver Graham

against new $20 million plus

00:00:38.438 --> 00:00:40.006

00:00:40.073 --> 00:00:45.812
Right next door?

00:00:45.879 --> 00:00:46.279

Performance, Ducati

Indianapolis, and although

00:00:55.488 --> 00:00:55.989
themed restaurant and museum

00:00:56.055 --> 00:00:58.191
and much more.

00:00:58.258 --> 00:00:58.825
>> Hello and welcome to Inside

00:00:58.892 --> 00:01:00.627
Indiana Business.

00:01:00.693 --> 00:01:05.231
I'm Gerry Dick, coming to this

00:01:05.298 --> 00:01:05.732
week once again from the

00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:07.600
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

00:01:07.667 --> 00:01:11.204
The start finish line just a

00:01:11.271 --> 00:01:11.771
shoulder as we continue our

00:01:11.838 --> 00:01:12.305
look at the impact of the

00:01:12.372 --> 00:01:16.009
business under sports.

00:01:16.075 --> 00:01:17.610
The Business of Motorsports

00:01:17.677 --> 00:01:19.012
touches all 92 Indiana counties

00:01:19.078 --> 00:01:19.612
and there are increasing signs

00:01:19.679 --> 00:01:24.651
impact is growing.

00:01:24.717 --> 00:01:25.785
In addition to the big RahaÃinv,

00:01:25.852 --> 00:01:27.220
Andretti Autosport is putting a

00:01:27.287 --> 00:01:33.026
$200 million headquarters with

00:01:33.092 --> 00:01:34.961
plans for 500 jobs in Fissures.

00:01:35.028 --> 00:01:37.197
In Boone County, United Kingdom

00:01:37.263 --> 00:01:39.833
-based McLaren Racing has

00:01:39.899 --> 00:01:41.801
committed to what is called a

00:01:41.868 --> 00:01:44.037
futuristic facility, focus on

00:01:44.103 --> 00:01:50.109
engineering and advanced racing

00:01:50.176 --> 00:01:50.677
technology. And a short work

00:01:50.743 --> 00:01:51.177
for him now in downtown

00:01:51.244 --> 00:01:56.282
Speedway Performance Racing

00:01:56.349 --> 00:01:56.883
Industry, PR, which hosts the

00:01:56.950 --> 00:01:57.484
largest motorsports convention

00:01:57.550 --> 00:02:00.420
the world here in Indianapolis.

00:02:00.487 --> 00:02:00.987
It's open a new membership"

00:02:01.054 --> 00:02:02.222
is described as a hub for the

00:02:02.288 --> 00:02:03.623
entire motorsports industry.

00:02:03.690 --> 00:02:06.626
Why Indiana?

00:02:06.693 --> 00:02:07.193
Why here for this increased

00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:10.396
investment?

00:02:10.463 --> 00:02:11.030
>> First off, I think the state

00:02:11.097 --> 00:02:15.034
has made it attractive.

00:02:15.101 --> 00:02:17.270
You know, I was talking to my

00:02:17.337 --> 00:02:21.608
dad and I remember enormously

00:02:21.674 --> 00:02:22.175
going back to 2011 and 2012

00:02:22.242 --> 00:02:25.845
when they really incentivised

00:02:25.912 --> 00:02:26.412
teams, the producers of cars

00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:30.183
and you know, to be based in

00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:30.817
Indianapolis, there was big key

00:02:30.884 --> 00:02:31.251
force. Obviously the

00:02:31.317 --> 00:02:36.890
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a

00:02:36.956 --> 00:02:37.524
maritime about months and years

00:02:37.590 --> 00:02:38.091
that we dedicate the police

00:02:38.157 --> 00:02:38.858
visible each menace.

00:02:38.925 --> 00:02:41.594
If you are from out of town

00:02:41.661 --> 00:02:48.535
like we used to be, you guys

00:02:48.601 --> 00:02:49.168
live in a hotel format which is

00:02:49.235 --> 00:02:49.769
an exact what you want to do.

00:02:49.836 --> 00:02:50.370
And so I think quality of life

00:02:50.436 --> 00:02:52.405
was for our people, it was a

00:02:52.472 --> 00:02:55.241
lot better to be here, you

00:02:55.308 --> 00:02:59.846
know? In the last thing is that

00:02:59.913 --> 00:03:00.346
exactly is people milk

00:03:00.413 --> 00:03:02.181
industries Indianapolis has to

00:03:02.248 --> 00:03:04.617
offer, the temple that has to

00:03:04.684 --> 00:03:06.853
offer, cottage industries,

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:10.990
whether it be you know, carbon

00:03:11.057 --> 00:03:13.226
push-ups can the actual

00:03:13.293 --> 00:03:18.197
Firestone performance tyre, our

00:03:18.264 --> 00:03:18.798
performance stands out in that

00:03:18.865 --> 00:03:21.000
you can pretty much if you need

00:03:21.067 --> 00:03:21.568
it done, you can get it done

00:03:21.634 --> 00:03:23.970
indeed.

00:03:24.037 --> 00:03:25.805
>> And Graham Rahal says

00:03:25.872 --> 00:03:27.407
increasing investment in motor

00:03:27.473 --> 00:03:31.210
sports facilities, research and

00:03:31.277 --> 00:03:31.811
testing is producing jobs and

00:03:31.878 --> 00:03:33.012
is an indication of industry

00:03:33.079 --> 00:03:36.416
momentum in Indiana.

00:03:36.482 --> 00:03:38.184
>> If you look at we're we are,

00:03:38.251 --> 00:03:42.388
from a financial perspective as

00:03:42.455 --> 00:03:42.989
a team today versus a 2006, it

00:03:43.056 --> 00:03:46.459
is exponentially different.

00:03:46.526 --> 00:03:47.093
Obviously Guthrie cards, you've

00:03:47.160 --> 00:03:48.194
got cars that are full of

00:03:48.261 --> 00:03:50.229
sponsors on every side.

00:03:50.296 --> 00:03:54.000
But companies like Fifth Third

00:03:54.067 --> 00:03:54.601
Bank and United rentals and of

00:03:54.667 --> 00:03:57.637
course hi B.

00:03:57.704 --> 00:03:58.237
It is a different game today,

00:03:58.304 --> 00:04:00.006
right?

00:04:00.073 --> 00:04:03.409
And so were very proud of that.

00:04:03.476 --> 00:04:04.043
I think Roger provides a lot of

00:04:04.110 --> 00:04:06.045
stability to the sport.

00:04:06.112 --> 00:04:07.413
He's a very conservative minded

00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:08.982
guy in my opinion when it comes

00:04:09.048 --> 00:04:10.049
to marketing and stuff like
