400 Miles of IRL Excitement
RaceWeek reaches its pinnacle with the Indy 400 when some of the fastest cars and the best IRL drivers in the country vie with each other for that coveted checkered flag. It’s 400 miles of non-stop thrills and breathtaking excitement!
Action extends from the track to the pits, and there's not a bad seat in the house to see this action. These 670 hp open wheeled racers cover the 2 mile track at MIS at over 200 mph, turning blistering laps with other cars only inches away.
Last year the race was dominated by Bryan Herta, a Warren, Michigan, native. Herta has come out as a tough competitor to beat this season, but that won’t stop his foes from trying to up the ante in this ultra-competitive race. Topping the list of contenders is Danica Patrick, the lone female in the IRL. She is joined by driving legends Helio Castroneves, Dario Franchitti, Dan Wheldon and more.
Also making an appearance will be Marco Andretti, a young driver whose lineage almost guarantees that he will be a strong force to be reckoned with on the circuit. Andretti is the son of Michael Andretti and the grandson of the great Mario Andretti.
But whether seasoned veteran or rookie, each and every driver is sure to have just one thing on their mind – winning.
Don’t miss your chance to catch the stars of the Indy Racing League in action!
