‘Behind the Wheel’ fundraiser kicks off activities in Speedway
The month of May hasn’t begun yet but there are already racing-related activities to get fans revved up for the most important month in motorsports. The first event is Thursday in Speedway, Indiana, with “Behind the Wheel,” a collaboration between the Town of Speedway and the Indy Family Foundation.
Fans have the opportunity to get behind the scenes of the Dallara factory on Main Street in Speedway, with a welcome from Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles, a close-up look at the new Indy car for 2018 with its universal aero kit, as well as refreshments and cocktails. Following that will be a visit to the AJ Foyt Racing shop across the street, where INDYCAR officials will answer questions on tire and fuel strategies and 2018 rules changes. The final stop will be at the 1911 Grill inside Speedway Indoor Karting, where owner and former Indy car driver Sarah Fisher will speak. The entire event runs from 4:30-8:30 p.m. ET.
Prizes and auction items will be available, with proceeds benefiting the Indy Family Foundation and long-time motorsports journalist Robin Miller to help cover costs of his cancer treatment. The event is open to those ages 21 and above. Tickets, at $33 each, are available at behindthewheel.eventbright.com. Silent auction items are available for bid now until 8 p.m. ET Thursday, at https://qtego.net/qlink/scoc.
