Legends Day at the Indy 500 is held the day before the Indianapolis 500. There are lots of former drivers, winners and old race cars all around the track and a memorabilia show that runs during the day. The 33 starting drivers sign autographs for an hour in the morning, and later in the day former drivers and winners have an autograph session and the fans line up all throughout the pagoda plaza.
The public drivers meeting is our favorite part, when the starting drivers sit on bleachers facing the fans and the previous year's winner is presented their Baby Borg. All the drivers are presented their starting drivers rings and the race 'rules' are discussed.
Then the drivers board buses and head downtown for the 500 Festival Parade!
