Why we like Indycar

There's lots to love about Indycar racing!

We wanted to share just a few of the things that really stand out to us!

1.  The accessible and friendly drivers and teams

One of our most favorite things about Indycar is the friendly and accessible drivers. Whenever we go to races and happen to see a driver, they are always smiling and interacting with the fans.  The team members are just as friendly.  We even got to do an interview with Krystin Wiggs, the PR for Schmidt Peterson, at Baltimore 2013.

2.  The fan friendly activities at the track. 

We go to the Indy 500, the GP of Indy, and the Pocono 500 every year, and we always are greeted with fun activities to do at the track.  At every race, there is the Indycar Fan Zone.  In the Fan Zone, you can get meet drivers, enter contests for Indycar prizes, buy Indycar merchandise for a friend, and take your kids into the kids zone. Each track also has it's own special mark on the fans.  The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has a Kids Club Kids Zone, where kids can drive in simulators, bounce in bounce houses, and run obstacle courses. 

3.  The open garages for fans to go in.

Most tracks have open garages for the fans to go in with passes.  You can meet drivers, see the cars, and see team members.  When we were at Indy, we saw A.J. Foyt, Rick Mears, Sam Schmidt and almost all the current drivers.  We also saw the Indy GP race winning car without its paint job!

4. The really cool videos.

There are so many Indycar videos for us to not only watch and see the drivers personalities, but also get to watch them during the offseason.  Here's one of our favorites.
