Growing up in Indy, we didn't call the 500 "Indy" - it's just "The Race". The beauty is that we have both the Indy 500 and the US Nationals, "The Nationals" to locals! Then there's the Brickyard 400, which is not the biggest NASCAR race, but certainly a prestigious one. We also have the INDY 500 of Grand National Cross Country Racing, the GNCC Ironman, which not many locals even know about, but it is a GREAT time!

I have been able to attend all of the above multiple times!!

There is more than 1 reason that Indy is the Racing Capitol of the World!
